Take Yourself to “New Heights” During the Steam Sports Fest

Developer Wikkl Works is incredibly excited to announce its upcoming climbing and bouldering simulator New Heights. New Heights invites players to experience the thrill of climbing from the comfort of their PCs as they ascend higher and higher onto real-world cliffs and structures. Master the moves, climb at incredible locations and feel the adrenaline rush as you reach the very top!

New Heights uses realistic, physics-based climbing mechanics to put players' skills to the true test. Players will have to master balance, grip, positioning and more in order to expertly scale the many locations to be featured in the game. These realistic mechanics make it so that players really feel the struggle and importance of focus and concentration as they climb, just like they would if they were really there in the action.

As players progress through the game, they’ll be able to elevate the skills of their character as well as unlock new gear. Just like real life, practice makes perfect, and players will find that the more they climb, the more of an expert they become. Become a professional climber and take on other players in the community to see who can reach the highest spots on the leaderboards!

What makes this title different from other climbing games is that New Heights was created by real climbers with a passion for the outdoors and experience in game development. Using photogrammetry technology, the Wikkl Works team is able to scan real-world locations and transfer them into the game for players to enjoy. This means that, in the future, players may be able to climb structures they’ve only dreamed of!

Features:

  • Real-world locations: New Heights features real-world locations scanned via drone and transferred directly into the game.

  • Realistic mechanics: Feel like you’re really mastering the art of climbing as you practice finding the right grip, balance and more while you traverse each structure.

  • Become a professional: Level up your character and unlock new gear the more you progress.

  • Rise in the leaderboards: After you master climbing on your own, take to the leaderboards and see if you can rise above the rest.

  • Climb off-limits structures: Visit and climb locations that you aren’t allowed to in real life and experience the thrill that no one else has!
