Brothers Joe and Andrew Fender, two of the devs behind the indie mega hit DEVOUR with 7 million copies sold, and publisher Future Friends Games (CloverPit) have revealed their new game in today’s PC Gaming Show: Sunset Summit!
Sunset Summit is a co-op group climbing game for 1-8 friends! Head out on a chill but challenging climb with regular checkpoints. Use axes, ropes, pogo sticks, cans of beans, item delivery drones and more to help each other reach the summit before sunset!
The game is coming to Steam in 2026 and a demo was just released on Steam!
About the game:
FUN OVER FRUSTRATION
Take a hot air balloon to visit the majestic floating sky islands and conquer ancient summits! Choose from a number of handcrafted routes that let you experience the challenging climb from different angles. The path may be dangerous, but don’t worry – there are plenty of checkpoints scattered along the way, and you instantly respawn if you fall. Just climb, fall, and try again!

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!”
