Peak Explores The Roots Update Today
Aggro Crab and Landfall's popular co-op climbing game, Peak, is getting stranger with its latest free update. The Roots update brings a fresh biome inspired by the dense forests of the Pacific Northwest, introducing new challenges and unique gameplay elements.
The New Biome: Forest Climbing
Players continue the core gameplay of climbing, but now the setting shifts to towering trees within a dense forest. Climbing these trees is challenging regardless of the size of the party.
New Threats: Giant Insects
The update adds giant insects that actively hunt players. For example, giant spiders can trap climbers in webs and drop them, leading to potentially long falls.
Edible Mushrooms and Effects
Players can find and eat native mushrooms, but these may induce zombie-like effects. The update also refines the cooking system:
- Non-food items can now be placed in fire to see various effects, encouraging players to experiment.
- It is now possible to cook the poison out of berries, making them safe to eat.
- Cooking does not remove poison from mushrooms, so caution is advised when consuming fungi found in The Roots.
"It's now possible to see effects on non-food items when placed in a fire, though none of the devs are saying what happens, which should encourage some experimentation."
The full patch notes are available on Steam for players who want detailed information.
Peak continues to expand its unique co-op climbing experience with creative new challenges and a mysterious forest setting.
