Peak adds new Roots biome next week
Peak’s whirlwind rise from a small game jam experiment to a breakout hit brought in millions of players at launch, and the momentum hasn’t stopped. Developers Aggro Crab and Landfall have kept climbing with steady updates—new content, achievements, and a parade of fixes—since day one. Next week, the ascent continues with the arrival of the game’s second post-launch biome: Roots.
Roots follows the Mesa overhaul, which previously stepped in for Alpine as the third major challenge in the climb. Judging by its dense woodland theme, Roots appears positioned to slot into the lineup where the Jungle once stood, though we’ll know for sure when the update lands.
A brief teaser sets the tone: two climbers perched on a high platform embedded in the canopy, the forest stretching endlessly around them—until a massive spider lurches from the shadows, snatching one scout clean off the ledge. Like every environment in Peak, Roots contrasts beauty with menace. It’s all towering timber, tangled growth, and cinematic vistas—until something decides you don’t belong up there.
Expect the biome to lean into treetop traversal and precarious verticality, with new ways to punish sloppy footing and break team coordination. If past updates are any indication, Roots should arrive alongside additional achievements and a round of polish to keep the climb feeling crisp.
What to expect in Roots
- Treetop traversal: Platforms and pathways threaded through colossal trees that test balance and timing.
- Predators and pitfalls: Wildlife—like that hungry spider—ready to turn a misstep into a free fall.
- Fresh pacing: A different rhythm from Jungle, pushing cautious movement and sharp communication.
- Progression tweaks: Integration into the existing biome sequence following Mesa’s earlier swap.
Roots goes live on November 5, bringing a new layer to Peak’s ongoing climb. Whether you’re returning after Mesa or still riding the launch wave, it’s another excuse to gear up, rally your crew, and test your nerve somewhere far above solid ground.
Peak’s continued evolution shows no signs of slowing. From its rocket-fueled debut to steady, thoughtful updates, the game keeps finding higher ground. Roots is the next step up—just make sure something doesn’t pull you back down.
