One of the year’s most surprising games still has more surprises in store. After its successful June launch, multiplayer hit Peak is getting another major update, making some of its creepiest additions yet just after Halloween.
The update’s biggest feature is a new biome, called Roots. From now until November 17, Roots will always show up as the second biome in your Peak climbs, replacing the existing Tropics. As someone who’s had more runs ruined by the incessant rain and exploding plants in the poison-filled Tropics than any other biome, a replacement for that nightmare sounds perfect — until you get into what the Roots actually entails.
