Peak climbs its way onto PS5 October 22

Game Ace Pro 0 0

Hello Scouts! Team Peak is happy to announce that our climbing game Peak is launching on PlayStation 5 October 22. Peak is a collaboration between two studios, Aggro Crab and Landfall, together, we make Team Peak.

Aggro Crab is an American studio based in Seattle, Washington, known for their games Another Crab’s Treasure and Going Under. Landfall is a Swedish studio based in Stockholm, known for games like Content Warning, Haste, Totally Accurate Battle Simulator, Stick Fight: The Game, and many more.

Both studios became friends after meeting at a game developer conference in 2022, instantly kicking it off. After the success of Another Crab’s Treasure and Content Warning, the teams thought that it could be cool to collaborate on a small project together.

Game jam in South Korea

To celebrate our friendship, we initially made the game as a one-month game jam in Seoul, South Korea in February of 2025. Three Aggro Crab devs and four Landfall devs locked themselves in a rented apartment, fueled by Korean BBQ and coffee to make something fun together.

A game jam is a timed event where individuals or teams create a game from scratch within a strict deadline, often following a secret or shared theme. Initially, the theme for the game had been discussed by the devs while sitting in a hot tub in Sweden, a couple of months before heading to South Korea for the jam.

The result was Peak, a co-op climbing game where the slightest mistake can spell your doom. You play solo or as a group of lost nature scouts, with your only hope of rescue from a mysterious island being to scale the mountain at its centre.

The key is to stick together, help each other out, and to find the best way to the top before hunger, hazards, or the fog gets you.

After the game jam the team went home to their respective countries, with Landfall finishing up our game Haste, and Aggro Crab working on Peak and some other projects. We then all met back up in Sweden in June to finish the game together – and to celebrate the Swedish tradition of Midsummer.

Friendship & crossplay


Peak is a game based on friendship, both in its development and gameplay.

In the game, there’s an important rule: Never abandon a friend in need. Therefore, we’re excited that with the launch on PS5 we’ve also made it possible for crossplay so that you can climb with up to three friends no matter what platform they use.

Climb to the Peak

The Mountain Takes no Prisoners! Climb through 4 biomes on your way to the Peak, each with its own life-threatening obstacles. You’ll need to scavenge for questionable food to survive and manage your injuries carefully – every setback limits your stamina, making

Picture this: A chilly autumn breeze ripples through the forest as a battalion of Automatons amble towards an outpost. They move together like cogs in a larger wheel, chanting in their electric tongues as they march, when a peal of thunder breaks their mechanical trance.

But it’s not thunder. It’s you, Helldiver– Liberty’s sharpest shooter taking aim from inside the tree line, busting them down to bolts and puddles of bubbling oil.
