Humble Games and developer Stairway Games are pleased to announce the limited-time release of the ‘Ocean Guardian’ Charity DLC Pack for Coral Island, with 100% of publisher and developer proceeds being donated to charity.

Available starting on July 11 until August 8, 2023, through Steam or the Windows Store, the exclusive pack is designed for champions of planet Earth's aquatic ecosystems and aims to raise awareness for the preservation of our oceans. 

The ‘Ocean Guardian’ pack is released in partnership with Coral Guardian, a non-profit organization whose mission is to protect and restore coral ecosystems worldwide, by working hand in hand with local communities who depend on them. The partnership offers players a unique opportunity to contribute to the protection of oceanic habitats both in game and globally with 100% of publisher Humble Games’ and developer Stairway Games’ proceeds from each sale benefiting Coral Guardian.

“It’s an honor to be partnering with Humble Games and Stairway Games and to have their support in our efforts to save our oceans,” said Coco Tamlyn, Coral Guardian Director. “This collaboration and generous contribution will allow us to combine the power of gaming and conservation to continue raising awareness and safeguarding our beautiful waters.”

Additionally, by purchasing the ‘Ocean Guardian’ pack through Steam or the Windows Store, players not only contribute to the conservation efforts but also gain exclusive in-game items. Unlock the Ocean Guardian Outfit, along with a special themed Ocean Guardian Chest storage item and Ocean Guardian Scarecrow item for use in your current playthrough and future playthroughs of the PC version of Coral Island, out now in Early Access.

By raising awareness and funds through the ‘Ocean Guardian’ pack, Humble Games and Stairway Games hope to expand the game's impact and promote real-world change.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Coral Guardian to contribute to the global restoration and protection of vital marine habitats,” said Kamini Tiwari, Vice President of Social Impact, Humble Games. “Coral Island invites players to have a hand in the conservation and protection of virtual coral reefs – our work with Coral Guardian helps bring these efforts to life. Together, we can make a positive impact on our environment and inspire others to take action."

Coral Island is available via Steam Early Access and is also available for Game Preview on Windows 10/11 and on PC Game Pass.
