PeakWard - Xbox One

Mountain climbing

PeakWard is a single-player mountain climbing game for Xbox and PC. You make your way from a shoreline to a snowy summit, climbing rock faces, jumping between ledges and stopping to rest before your stamina runs out. Its 64 terraces are split across four chapters: Sunwash Coast, Lanternwood, Copperback Ridge and The Crown.

Supplies and hazards

You pack trail mix, use bandages to treat injuries and can place a one-use safety line before a risky ascent. Each region brings hazards such as thorns, falling rocks, wind, cold and slippery ice. Four camps restore your supplies and save your progress, giving you places to stop along the climb.
