Kelp: Offshore Offspring Expansion 2026

Raise offspring, unlock new abilities, hunt and hide in new ways. Survival is no longer enough — only your legacy will decide who endures.

There is new life in the kelp forest, and the fight for survival deepens. Offspring change everything: juveniles arrive, grow, and demand new tactics from both sides.

Offshore Offspring introduces brand-new components and strategies for both the Shark and the Octopus.

As the Octopus, you must protect your young while mastering a completely new magnetic modular block system with swappable tiles. Unlock different camouflage colors, each with unique abilities. Set traps that wound pursuing Sharks, and evolve juveniles into adults, creating fresh layers of deception and survival. Food gets a new layer: eat to grow, then risk everything on a daring new escape route.

As the Shark, you command not just the mother but also two new juvenile hunters, giving you the power to hunt as a pack. With new Growth tiles, you unlock the ability to swim over each other, letting you cover more of the kelp forest than ever before. And while some Octopus traps can wound you, successful attacks on Octopuses can help keep your hunger at bay. Each choice forces you to balance bold aggression against the risk of injury.

With offspring in play, survival is no longer about a single predator or prey — it’s about your legacy.
