LIFE BELOW PARTNERS WITH WHALE AND DOLPHIN CONSERVATION TO SUPPORT OCEAN LIFE
WDC supporter pack will bring unique visitor species to game from May 26th
Leicester, UK - 18th May 2026. Publisher Kasedo Games and Norwegian Development Studio Megapop have today announced a partnership with Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC) to make a special supporter pack available for the underwater reef builder Life Below.
The initiative, which sees 100% of all net revenue going directly to supporting WDC's conservation efforts, introduces three unique visitor species to Life Below:
-
Common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus)
-
Atlantic spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis)
-
Harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena)
Players will be able to watch these animals visit their reefs, swim through the corals, and interact with the living ecosystem they have created. For players wanting to learn more, each species is entered inside the game's guidebook, all inspired by real marine biology.
"Whales and dolphins are some of the most intelligent and fascinating beings in our oceans, and they play a vital role in overcoming the climate and biodiversity crises. Most of humanity share a deep love for these wonderful beings, yet they are increasingly at risk by human-caused threats like pollution, hunting and entanglement in fishing gear." says Sally Ward, Head of Digital Partnerships at WDC. "Partnerships like this truly inspire people to connect with marine life in new ways. We find it particularly positive that this comes from a Norwegian developer, a country well known for controversial whale hunting. A healthy planet needs a thriving ocean, and that means more whales and dolphins, not fewer."
"Life Below has always been about helping people play with the beauty and wonder of the ocean," says Lise Lie, Game Director on Life Below. "When dolphins suddenly arrive at a reef you have spent hours caring for, it creates a very emotional connection. We hope the game can inspire curiosity, hope, and even a deeper love for the magic of marine life."
Life Below is a reef-building game where players grow coral ecosystems, attract wildlife, and help restore balance to a changing ocean world.
As part of Steam Ocean Fest, players can now experience the playable demo of Life Below ahead of launch.
The optional charity supporter pack will be priced at $4.99/€4.99/£4.49 and will be available alongside Life Below, coming to Steam on May 26, 2026. Players can wishlist the game now via Steam or join the community on Discord.
