Peak Update Adds New Biome and Offers Info on Future Content

by

In the game Peak, a significant new update has been released, featuring an exciting addition – a brand-new biome called the Mesa. Over the coming week, the Mesa is set to take over from the current Alpine biome. Fear not, as the developers have assured us that the Alpine biome will make occasional appearances in future maps alongside the Mesa. The update doesn’t just introduce the new Mesa biome, but also offers players new items and badges to discover and collect.

As a passionate fan of Peak, I couldn’t help but share some exciting news about our latest update! Aggro Crab, the publisher, hinted at potential future updates as well, although they’re keeping things under wraps for now. The developers are working diligently to ensure the game’s stability and eliminate any pesky bugs that might be lingering.

While we may not have a detailed roadmap outlining new biomes or features just yet, their primary focus is on enhancing the current gameplay experience for everyone. This means a smoother, more enjoyable game for all of us players in the long run! For the complete details about this update, be sure to check out the official patch notes on Steam. Enjoy playing Peak!

PATCH NOTES v. 1.20.a

FEATURES

  • Added a new biome that replaces the Alpine: the MESA. The MESA will be present in every run for the next week – after which future maps will rotate randomly between the Mesa and Alpine.
  • 10 new badges to collect! – New cosmetics as rewards for badges!
  • Several new items were added! (And a couple more we won’t tell you about!):
    • Balloons 
    • Scout Cannon 
    • Parasol 
    • Sunscreen 
    • Aloe Vera 
    • Dynamite 
  • There may be a surprise waiting for you in The Kiln


OPTIONS

  • There is now a “Bug Phobia Mode” option for players who don’t want to see arachnids and other creepy crawlies because, you guessed it, the Mesa has some of those. 
  • The Settings menu is now navigable via controller. Finally! 

BALANCE

  • The fog rises slightly slower in the Tropics. 
  • The Heat status will now decay faster, but it will take a bit longer to start decaying, and the hot rocks in the Caldera will inflict more Heat on you. 

BUGFIXES

  • Improved performance across the board on the mountain.
  • Fixed an issue where players could teleport after a rusty piton they were hanging onto breaks.
  • Fixed players sometimes obtaining the Naturalist Badge despite eating packaged food.
  • Prevented players from interacting with their backpack while passed out.
  • Adjusted luggage collision to prevent players from getting their legs stuck in it
  • Fixed an issue where the Bugle of Friendship would still play its audio and visual effects when out of juice.
  • Fixed an issue where biome-specific loot could sometimes show up in luggage in the wrong biome.

If you’re among those who haven’t played Peak yet, today’s update presents an excellent opportunity! Usually inexpensive, the game is currently on sale with a 38% discount, bringing its price down from $7.99 to an astonishingly low $4.95. On Steam, it’s hard to find prices lower than this, especially considering Peak boasts a “Very Positive” rating, having been enjoyed by over 74,000 players so far. The sale ends on Monday, August 18th. Unfortunately, the game is only available for PC at the moment, and there’s currently no information regarding a potential console release.
