Peak's New Update: The Roots
Aggro Crab and Landfall's cooperative climbing game, Peak, continues to evolve with its latest free update titled The Roots. The game has become a major success for the indie developers, attracting many groups of friends eager to conquer its challenging climbs.
Introducing The Roots Biome
The update brings a fresh biome inspired by the lush forests of the Pacific Northwest. Players now find themselves climbing massive trees amid dense woodland, presenting new and tougher obstacles regardless of party size.
New Threats and Features
- Giant insects such as spiders, which can trap players in webs and drop them for potentially long falls.
- Native mushrooms scattered throughout the forest that players can eat, though these may induce zombie-like effects.
Cooking System Tweaks
The update also enhances the cooking mechanics:
- Non-food items now show effects when heated over a fire, inviting player experimentation.
- Players can cook berries to remove their poison, but mushrooms remain hazardous and must be consumed cautiously.
“Peak has proven to be a surprisingly big winner for indie studios Aggro Crab and Landfall.”
“None of the devs are saying what happens when non-food items are placed in fire, which should encourage some experimentation.”
The full patch notes are available on Steam for players who want all the details.
Peak’s latest update deepens the gameplay with new environments, threats, and cooking surprises, pushing players to adapt and experiment in evolving wilderness challenges.
