Aggro Crab has confirmed its co-op climbing game, Peak, will get its final major update on 11th August.
In a brief update posted with a minute-long teaser, the indie team said: “we’ve been hard at work crafting Peak’s final Major Update, and we’re finally ready to drop it to the shore near you. Ok well, I guess near a peak…near you”.

This final update sees new variant biomes Gloom and the Citadel “cycle out with Caldera and The Kiln”, as well as a “new secret for you to discover”.
Peak – which follows a string of other multi-million sellers for publisher Landfall, including Content Warning and Totally Accurate Battlegrounds – is available now on Steam. Eurogamer contributing editor Christian Donlan called Peak his “new gaming obsession” last year, writing: “Great climbing, great fun, a very pure take on design. And maybe stay away from the mushrooms. Some of them, anyway.”
It’s been so successful, in fact, that it has spawned so many clones, the team behind the indie hit would rather its community pirate its own game than play a “microtransaction-riddled” ripoff. Developer Aggro Crab has also hit back at “friendslop” haters, insisting there’s a place for co-op games that “deliver a specific experience”, especially as they can be “very cost-effective for indie production”.
