Rogue Core Launch Day Checklist

What to check on Rogue Core launch day: classes, weapons, Expenite, risk vectors, system requirements, and page updates.

Confirm the basics

  • Early Access launch date: May 20, 2026.
  • Platform: PC on Steam.
  • Player count: 1–4 player co-op.
  • Early Access duration estimate: 18–24 months.
  • Minimum system requirements: Windows 10 64-bit, i5 7th gen or Ryzen 5 1500X, 8 GB RAM, GTX 970 or Radeon 290, DirectX 11, 9 GB storage, broadband.

Verify every class

Check the five confirmed classes first: Slicer, Falconer, Guardian, Spotter, and Gorgon. Gorgon is the biggest TBA because the final gauntlet name and detailed kit are still pending.

Verify weapons and modifiers

Known Closed Alpha weapons include Mag Blaster (P96), Field Blaster, Devastator Blaster, Laser Revolver, Stubby, Grenade Launcher, GK2, and Plasma Sword. Confirm whether their names, magazines, projectile behavior, and major modifiers match the public build.

Track Expenite and route rewards

Expenite upgrades through Ellis, Bio booster stations, Workbench stations, risk-vector rewards, and Expenite events are the most important systems to verify for build pages. Record exact costs only after they are visible in the live build.

Update pages in priority order

  1. Release date and homepage live status.
  2. Classes and gauntlets.
  3. Weapons and build pages.
  4. Expenite upgrades and artifacts.
  5. Enemies and mission notes.
  6. Guides and news.

Keep uncertainty visible

Do not remove subject-to-change callouts until the page has been checked against the Early Access build. TBA is better than a made-up number.
