UNDERWATER CITY BUILDER LIFE BELOW ANNOUNCES RELEASE DATE WITH NEW TRAILER

Trailer showcases the hazards and challenges players will face on May 26th.

Aaaaaaaah I’m so excited for this game. It looks gorgeous and I love city builders. Given the pedigree behind it, I think it’s going to be special. And yes, that is Terry Pratchett’s daughter who is working on this. Looking forward to hearing more about it as we get closer to the release date! - Janette/Possumcoffee

Kasedo Games and Megapop today announced that their upcoming underwater city builder Life Below will launch exclusively for PC on May 26, 2026.

Alongside the announcement, a brand-new trailer has been released, offering a deeper look at the hazards and systemic challenges players must overcome to restore life beneath the waves.

Life Below delivers a fresh and distinctive take on the city-building genre crafted in collaboration with marine biologists and acclaimed video game writer, Rhianna Pratchett. Players must grow their reef, attract diverse wildlife to increase biodiversity, and carefully evolve entire underwater ecosystems to withstand a constantly shifting tide.

The new trailer highlights the fragile nature of coral reefs and how players must understand and adapt to ever changing conditions, from both natural and external events. Invasive species, coral bleaching, jellyfish swarms, warming waters, as well as pollution waves and oil spills are just some of the challenges that players will face as they look to pull their coral reef from the brink of collapse.

In addition, Life Below will feature in the upcoming Earth Appreciation festival on Steam, where players will be able to get an in-depth look at the game ahead of launch. A live developer stream will take place on April 25th showcasing new gameplay, mechanics and insights from the Megapop team.

Life Below is coming to Steam on May 26, 2026. Players can wishlist the game now via Steam or join the community on Discord.
