Chaotic Co-Op Dumpster Gang Coming to XBOX PC in December 2026

Trash pandas. Rubbish goblins. Raccoons.

These cute little critters simply love to trigger a ruckus, don’t they? Stealing meals, knocking over trash cans, climbing, crawling, clambering.

In the event you’re something like us, you’ve in all probability questioned, “what’s it like to really BE a raccoon?” What? Too particular a fantasy?

Properly, pay attention – this wasn’t even our fantasy to start with. Jake and Sam, the ludicrously gifted builders at Coyote Home Video games, got here to us at Curve Video games with an concept: what if there was a online game the place you can play as a bunch of raccoons robbing homes collectively? And what in the event that they made that recreation?

Okay, in order that’s two concepts. However these two concepts have been so good, we had to counter with a 3rd concept: what if subsequent time they scheduled a gathering with us as a substitute of breaking into our workplace? They have been each dressed as raccoons, and Sam was making an attempt to stuff as many workplace provides as he might right into a burlap sack.

However what a improbable idea! Right here at Curve Video games, we’re well-known for publishing wacky, physics-driven video games which are enjoyable with mates – like Human Fall Flat and Wobbly Life – so we knew we had to work collectively. At the very least as soon as they’d returned these workplace provides. And that pc. And my toupee.

And thus, Dumpster Gang was born!

It is a chaotic co-op sandbox the place you play as mischievous raccoons and check out to trigger as a lot mayhem as potential. Actually we like to consider it as the final word raccoon simulator, using the newest and best in online game know-how to obtain what generations earlier than us have failed to accomplish:

FULL RACCOON IMMERSION.

It’s one factor to simulate, let’s say, a crime-ridden simulacrum of a sun-soaked American state (ahem), however what a few recreation that intricately recreates the nocturnal escapades of the world’s furriest thieves? Permitting you and up to three mates to break into buildings, steal junk, raid snacks, scavenge dumpsters, commit tiny crimes, and outwit a relentless exterminator?

You is likely to be considering: certainly it isn’t potential for a online game as superior as that to even exist?! We have been sceptical at first too.

However Jake and Sam are on the bleeding edge. Jake spent practically a decade engaged on animation tasks for firms like Marvel and Warner Music, and Sam has intensive expertise with multiplayer video games, beforehand transport the much-beloved multiplayer hit Midnight Ghost Hunt as recreation director.

On a private stage, they’re additionally simply very candy.

“We met in school and now we’re united by a love of co-op gaming and raccoons,” Jake advised us. “With our first recreation as Coyote Home Video games, we wished to fulfil the dream of roaming round as a gang of raccoons with your mates and being little menaces. We match in as many raccoon-themed mechanics as we might: consuming trash, stealing, climbing on every little thing, making massive messes. We now have all of it!”

Sam agreed and added: “And after a full day of inflicting chaos, you possibly can head again to your hideout to customise it with all of the junk treasure you’ve scavenged out of your raids. You may even put on a collection of lovable hats, every with distinctive talents to help in your subsequent spherical of nefarious raccoon antics.”

All of us are so excited to have introduced Dumpster Gang right this moment as a part of the XBOX broadcast at Gamescom 2026! The sport might be releasing for XBOX  PC and accessible Day One as a part of XBOX PC Sport Move.

And also you don’t have lengthy to wait: it’s arriving December 2026!

So, spherical up your crew (or go solo for those who want), take to the evening, and see how a lot mischief you can also make in Dumpster Gang.
