Remember PEAK? Yeah, the fun “friendslop” video game about climbing a mountain with your friends that completely took over the internet a couple of months ago. The co-op climbing hit came from Aggro Crab and Landfall Games, a collaboration that turned chaotic teamwork and accidental betrayal into one of the internet’s favorite multiplayer experiences.
Now, Aggro Crab is back, but this time without Landfall. The indie studio is preparing to launch a brand-new game called Crashout Crew on May 28, trading mountains and ropes for forklifts, warehouses, and what looks like complete workplace disaster.
The upcoming title throws players into the world of DE NILE SHIPPING, where things move fast, and if they don’t, apparently you’re the problem. Players can team up with up to three friends in a frantic physics-based co-op experience where teamwork is essential, but disaster seems almost guaranteed.
If PEAK was about surviving the climb, Crashout Crew looks like it’s about surviving your coworkers. The game turns warehouse work into full-blown multiplayer chaos. Instead of carefully moving cargo from one place to another, players will be speeding around on forklifts equipped with boost and drift mechanics, turning the warehouse floor into something that feels more like a racetrack than a workplace. Naturally, things are expected to go wrong very quickly.
Players will have to grab, stack, and organize shipments while avoiding becoming buried under piles of missed quotas, misplaced boxes, and whatever else gets thrown into the mix. The game leans heavily into absurdity, with contracts involving increasingly ridiculous cargo. Players can expect to handle everything from lemons and anvils to explosives and even primates, with more than 20 different types of boxes designed to create what Aggro Crab describes as a physics-based nightmare.
Things only become more chaotic from there. Players can spend money earned during contracts on warehouse tools and forklift upgrades that make jobs easier, or at least slightly safer. There are also additional “Safety Violations” that modify each shift and create even more problems, including changes that make already stressful situations significantly worse.
Like PEAK, Crashout Crew appears to be embracing the same formula that made its predecessor so entertaining to watch and play. Put a group of friends into a stressful environment, give them objectives that sound simple on paper, and then watch everything collapse into complete disorder.
Crashout Crew launches on Steam tomorrow, May 28. While a price still hasn’t been revealed, players can already wishlist the game, and many are expecting it to land somewhere around the same price range as PEAK, although that remains unconfirmed.
