The viral 8-player co-op climbing game Sunset Summit from brothers Joe and Andrew Fender (DEVOUR- 7 million copies sold!) have launched a new update to the game today, which includes 3 new items, including a Grappling Gun! Fire it at a surface (up to a max distance), & if it hits something it yanks you towards that surface!
Update Features: The updates comes with 3 new items and a ton of tweaks and fixes:
- The most exciting of all is the grappling gun which you fire at a surface to get yanked towards it!
- Fireworks have been added to the game, which work like a visual version of the Whistle.
- A brand new camping radio that plays old-timey tunes! Find it, pick it up, and take it with you for entertainment.

Quote from the developer Joe Fender and development history:
“After launching DEVOUR, I began working on Sunset Summit in 2021 as I wanted to branch out from the horror genre. But by 2023 I was burned out and unsure if a first-person co-op climbing game would appeal to anyone. And guess what? Then PEAK launched and after its success I felt reassured that it was worth finishing Sunset Summit. I’m proud to share this mix of my favourite things: co-op games, climbing, and megastructures and I hope people will enjoy it!”
