Peak Explores The Roots Update Today
Aggro Crab and Landfall’s acclaimed co-op climbing game Peak is becoming even stranger with its latest free update.
Peak has emerged as a major success for indie studios Aggro Crab and Landfall, attracting many groups of friends eager to tackle its challenging climbs. The developers have released The Roots update, which adds a new biome inspired by the dense forests of the Pacific Northwest, featuring unusual elements.
New Biome and Challenges
In The Roots update, players remain focused on climbing, but now the setting shifts to towering trees in a thick forest. Climbing these trees is challenging for teams of any size. The danger escalates with the arrival of giant insects, such as spiders that trap players in webs and drop them, risking a long fall.
Unique Interactions
Players can also eat native mushrooms found in the forest, though these may cause unsettling effects resembling zombie-like symptoms.
Enhanced Cooking System
- The update refines the cooking mechanics, allowing players to observe effects when non-food items are placed in fire, encouraging experimentation.
- It is now possible to cook poison out of berries, but mushrooms remain toxic unless handled with care.
The full patch notes can be found over on Steam.
Author's summary: Peak’s latest update transforms its climbing adventure by adding a mysterious forest biome with new threats and an evolved cooking system, deepening the survival experience.
