Ghost Ship Publishing is the new publishing arm of Ghost Ship Games and has debuted three new titles in 2023, with one launching this year.

Following the success of Deep Rock Galactic, Ghost Ship Publishing will release a survival-based spinoff called Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, as well as SpellRogue from Guidelight Games and DarkSwarm from Bitfire Games. The trio of titles will launch into Steam Early Access this year.

CEO of Ghost Ship Games, Søren Lundgaard, said, "We are super excited to reveal our first three titles as a publisher."

"Each developer and project has their individual origin story, but they all have open development, flexible game design, and consumer-friendly business models in common. It all fits perfectly with our goals for Ghost Ship Publishing."

Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor will feature roguelite elements in a solo auto-shooter and was showcased in a recent Twitch stream to celebrate Deep Rock Galactic's fifth anniversary.
