Peak Explores The Roots Update Today

Aggro Crab and Landfall's breakout co-op climbing game is becoming even more unusual with its newest free update. Peak has unexpectedly become a major success for indie studios Aggro Crab and Landfall as more groups of friends attempt to survive its challenging climbs.

Introducing the Roots Biome

The latest update, called The Roots, brings a new biome inspired by the dense forests of the Pacific Northwest. Players now climb towering trees in this lush environment, facing fresh challenges regardless of party size.

Gigantic insects, including spiders, hunt players.
Spiders can trap players in webs and drop them from heights, leading to long falls.
Native mushrooms offer a risky snack that might induce zombie-like effects.

Cooking System Enhancements

The update also refines the cooking mechanics. Players can now observe effects on non-food items placed in fire, though specifics remain undisclosed to encourage experimentation.

Poison can be cooked out of berries, making them safer to eat.
Mushrooms, however, remain toxic and require caution.

The full patch notes can be found over on Steam.

Peak's latest update deepens the game's environment and complexity, promising fresh challenges and intriguing gameplay twists for players.
