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

Trash pandas. Rubbish goblins. Raccoons.

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

If you happen to’re something like us, you’ve most likely puzzled, “what’s it like to truly BE a raccoon?” What? Too particular a fantasy?

Nicely, hear – this wasn’t even our fantasy to start with. Jake and Sam, the ludicrously proficient builders at Coyote Home Video games, got here to us at Curve Video games with an thought: what if there was a online game the place you would 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 needed to counter with a 3rd thought: 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 attempting to stuff as many workplace provides as he may right into a burlap sack.

However what a incredible idea! Right here at Curve Video games, we’re well-known for publishing wacky, physics-driven video games which might be enjoyable with buddies – like Human Fall Flat and Wobbly Life – so we knew we needed to work collectively. A minimum of 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 attempt to trigger as a lot mayhem as doable. Actually we like to think about it as the final word raccoon simulator, using the newest and best in online game know-how to attain what generations earlier than us have failed to perform:

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 couple of recreation that intricately recreates the nocturnal escapades of the world’s furriest thieves? Permitting you and as much as three buddies to interrupt into buildings, steal junk, raid snacks, scavenge dumpsters, commit tiny crimes, and outwit a relentless exterminator?

You may be pondering: absolutely it isn’t doable 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 delivery the much-beloved multiplayer hit Midnight Ghost Hunt as recreation director.

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

“We met at 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 needed to fulfil the dream of roaming round as a gang of raccoons with your pals and being little menaces. We slot in as many raccoon-themed mechanics as we may: consuming trash, stealing, climbing on every part, making huge messes. We have now all of it!”

Sam agreed and added: “And after a full day of inflicting chaos, you may head again to your hideout to customise it with all of the junk treasure you’ve scavenged out of your raids. You possibly can even put on a collection of lovely 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 as we speak as a part of the XBOX broadcast at Gamescom 2026! The sport will likely be releasing for XBOX  PC and out there Day One as a part of XBOX PC Sport Cross.

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

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