Peak’s new biome has mysteriously vanished, so now it’s Mesa time, on a regular basis

Peak’s rootin’, tootin’ Mesa replace has been an absolute blast to play thus far. It is a Skywalker’s worse nightmare, what with all of the sand concerning the place, however the brand new desert biome serves as the proper reminder to all the time put on SPF. Sadly, some have been left saying ‘what in tarnation?!’ because the dune-filled map has gone fully AWOL. However do not fret, the devs are engaged on it.

The Peak Mesa replace dropped a pair weeks again; the endnote on what has been an overwhelmingly profitable early post-launch interval for one of many yr’s finest indie video games. Having already shipped over 5 million copies, regardless of free-to-play copycats popping up right here and there, Aggro Crab has been placing within the work to maintain the hype locomotive going with its new wild-west-themed biome. There’s even dynamite now, which I completely have not used to grief my mates at opportune moments (sorry, gang).

In its first week of life, the Mesa was the one map you might play, fully changing the frigid Alpine area so gamers may become familiar with Peak’s sizzling new problem. Past that, it was presupposed to enter an ordinary, random rotation between the pair every run. Nevertheless, for some, there’s been a slight overcorrection of the percentages, and solely the Alpine has been seen within the wild for the previous week. Suspicious.

As Aggro Crab notes in its new hotfix patch notes, there’s solely a miniscule probability of this occurring naturally – 0.78%, in reality. This has led the studio to start investigating the phenomenon as a attainable bug. The repair, for now, is that it’ll be Mesa time, on a regular basis till “later this week” when the dev’s desert-delving concludes.

Although it is unclear how widespread this situation is, it could possibly be an element within the playcount drop-off over the previous week. As SteamDB reveals, the Mesa replace has introduced record-high concurrent participant counts, although this has sloped downwards over the past seven days. In fact, I would posit post-binge burnout for a lot of overeager scouts because the most definitely trigger for this pattern, however there could also be a couple of climbers with Alpine fatigue in there, too.

For those who’re but to expertise all the things the Mesa has to supply, take a look at learn how to discover the Peak Tomb and Golden Bing Bong, and study extra about learn how to use the Peak Scout cannon – you are going to want it.
