Peak Explores The Roots Update Today

Aggro Crab and Landfall's popular co-op climbing game, Peak, is getting a new free update that brings even stranger elements.

Peak has become a significant success for indie developers Aggro Crab and Landfall. As more groups of friends join to tackle its challenging climbs, the latest free update—The Roots—offers fresh content and new challenges.

New Biome: The Roots

The update introduces a dense forest biome inspired by the Pacific Northwest, where players climb trees instead of traditional peaks. The trees provide unique climbing challenges regardless of party size.

Dangerous Creatures

Giant insects, such as spiders, actively hunt players.
Spiders can trap players in webs and drop them, risking long falls.

Edible Mushrooms and Effects

Players can consume native mushrooms found in the forest, which may induce some form of zombie-like state.

Updated Cooking System

The update tweaks the cooking system, allowing visible effects when placing non-food items in fire.
Developers encourage experimentation as they remain silent on specific outcomes.
Players can now cook the poison out of berries but not mushrooms, urging caution with fungi in The Roots.

The full patch notes can be found over on Steam.

Peak’s Roots update enriches gameplay with a new biome, unique threats, and an evolved cooking system, keeping players engaged and experimenting.
