One of the best co-op shooters of all time, Deep Rock Galactic is riding high at the moment. With the spin-off Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor launched last week in Early Access<\/a> and currently, <\/span>according to data at SteamDB<\/span><\/a>, is the number one Trending game and the current number one on the Popular Releases chart, miles ahead of the Tomb Raider remasters on the list in a distant second, the team at devs Funday Games and publishers Ghostship will be well pleased with their work.<\/span><\/p>\n

The best thing about Deep Rock Galactic in any form are the dwarves that make up the playable characters. Obsessed with mining, killing, and drinking beer they have captured the heart of many a gamer who has played either mainline DRG or its auto-shooting spin-off.<\/span><\/p>\n

They also seem to have caught the attention of TV execs though, always on the hunt for the next big show. The \u201cbadass dwarves\u201d of the game, it seems, could be about to make the leap to join the likes of Cyberpunk, Witcher, and The Last of Us as crossover media stars.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ghost Ship\u2019s CEO S\u00f8ren Lundgaard has said in an <\/span>interview with NME<\/span><\/a>, that not only were they considering the possibility of a TV show, but they had already been approached by a studio.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe were talking about it, and we\u2019ve also been approached,\u201d said Lundgaard to NME. \u201cIt\u2019s definitely viable, but we can\u2019t do everything at once \u2013 and we would want to be involved. If we could just say \u2018eh, you do it\u2019, and not be involved, then it would happen, but that wouldn\u2019t be the right thing to do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a long way to go yet, but one of the internet\u2019s friendliest gaming communities might well be able to bask in the glory of playing its part in getting this plucky underdog the mainstream coverage it deserves.<\/span><\/p>\n
