Press release:
Cologne, Germany, 26th August, 2026 – Curve Games and Coyote House Games have today revealed 1-4 player chaotic co-op sandbox game Dumpster Gang, coming December 2026 to PC for Steam and Xbox on PC, and also available day one as part of Xbox PC Game Pass.

Playing as a mischievous raccoon, players will team up with up to three of their friends (also raccoons, obviously) as they live their best raccoon life – scavenging dumpsters, stealing junk, raiding snacks, committing tiny -harmless – crimes, and avoiding the clutches of the evil exterminator.

Raccoon high-life isn’t all trash and snacks though, players will need to work together to haul loot, solve puzzles, and rescue captured teammates as they nimbly dodge traps set out by the Exterminator. After a full day of causing chaos, players can head back to their hideout to customise it with the junk treasure scavenged from their raids, and can even adorn a selection of adorable hats, each with unique abilities to assist in the next round of nefarious trash panda activities.

Jake Ellis, Co-Founder of Coyote House Games, said: “Dumpster Gang started with a pretty simple idea: we thought a bunch of raccoons robbing houses together was really funny. Above all, we wanted to fulfill the fantasy of roaming around as a gang of raccoons with your friends and being little menaces. We fit in as many raccoon-themed mechanics as we could – eating trash, stealing, climbing on everything, making big messes, we have it all!”

Samuel Malone, Co-Founder of Coyote House Games, said: “Curve Games really understood what we were trying to make with Dumpster Gang from the beginning. They have a great history with wacky, physics-driven games that are fun with friends, so it felt like a great home for the game. Curve Games gave us the support we needed to deliver on the premise of the game, and make the ultimate raccoon experience!”

Rich Keen, VP of Publishing, Curve Games, said: “Here at Curve we love raccoons… and we love Dumpster Gang! We’re so excited to be partnering with Coyote House Games on their debut title, and thrilled to announce that it’s going to be heading to PC later this year.”
