Ghost Ship Publishing and Funday Games revealed on October 27, 2026 the release date for Knockout, the second expansion for Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor: November 17, 2026 on Xbox and Steam. Versions for mobile, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch will follow, with no date announced so far.
Knockout is a paid expansion and adds a new class, the Brawler, a dwarf with metal fists and a mohawk who swaps the pickaxe for close combat. According to the Steam page, he arrives with 11 new weapons, which will also become available to the other classes through the tag system, to help on missions across Hoxxes IV.
The expansion also adds the Sandblasted Corridors biome, described as dry, dangerous, and inhospitable, with sand tornadoes and hostile vegetation, but rich in resources for those who make it through. It is another biome option for missions, without increasing progression requirements.
The third addition is the high-risk Brood Harvest mission: miners collect Kytoplasm samples from Broodlings, glyphid lifeforms, and those who reach the final stage face the Dreadnought Empress, an insectoid matriarch who uses her own brood as a biological shield. A free update to the base game will launch alongside the expansion.
The announcement notes that Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor has sold more than 2 million copies since early access and is available on mobile, Xbox, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch, as well as PC. Knockout's price has not yet been announced.
