Landfall and Aggro Crab’s hit co-op climbing adventure, Peak, is reaching new heights once again. Following the success of its previous biomes, the developers have announced a fresh update introducing a lush new area called “Roots,” launching on November 5, 2025.

Since its debut, Peak has become one of 2025’s breakout indie hits, earning widespread acclaim for its chaotic, physics-based climbing and cooperative gameplay. The game has already climbed past 10 million sales, thanks to a steady stream of creative updates and strong community support. Now, with the upcoming Roots biome, players can look forward to a refreshing change of scenery that promises both beauty and danger in equal measure.

A Forest Biome Filled With New Challenges

In the official trailer, two explorers are shown navigating towering trees and swinging between vines before one is suddenly snatched away by a massive spider. The short teaser sets the tone for the new biome — a dense, forest-themed map where teamwork and timing are crucial. Unlike the sun-scorched Mesa biome that arrived earlier this year, Roots offers a moody woodland environment filled with fresh climbing mechanics, new resources, and additional hazards.

Developers have hinted that Roots may temporarily rotate into the biome pool alongside Alpine and Mesa, allowing players to experience new terrain while keeping the gameplay loop dynamic. Some environmental features — such as vines and mushroom platforms — will likely introduce creative new movement options and strategic depth for both newcomers and speedrunners alike.

As with previous biomes, players can expect new items and tools to help navigate the dangers ahead — and just as many traps and enemies to test their reflexes. While details remain limited, the addition of a spider enemy that drops from treetops has already caught the community’s attention, hinting at a biome that’s as treacherous as it is beautiful. With Roots arriving this November, Peak continues its climb as one of the most engaging and community-driven co-op games of the year.
