Press release:
London, England – May 9th, 2025.
The London-based (England) indie games developer Spilt Milk Studios are today super proud and excited to announce that the full version (v1.0) their cosy shopkeeping game “Trash Goblin“, is coming to PC via Steam on May 28th, 2025, for £14.99 / $19.99 / €18.99!

This 1.0 launch is the culmination of its previous four major updates, as well as some all new content like a full story campaign where you must save Aimon’s…business? Soul? You’ll have to play to find out!

This full release also adds a huge host of new content, including a total of 33 NPCs, each with their own related quests and trinkets. There will also be District Travel, allowing you to explore two new areas of the city to sell your wares. Completionists will be happy about the newly added Trinketpedia, that tracks all trinkets in game (and ticks off whether you’ve discovered, cleaned, upcycled and sold each trinket), along with the Fetching Fungi system which ties into the Trinketpedia as an alternative way of acquiring already discovered trinkets.
That’s not all, as the 1.0 launch will be commemorated with the Grand Opening Cosmetic Set, Achievements, the ability to dismiss and summon named NPCs, and, most excitingly of all, there will be over 100 new trinkets (for a grand total of 180, more than double the Early Access content), along with the usual balancing, polish, bug fixes and optimisations.

Additionally, there will be a Founder’s Pack of cosmetic DLC and the OST will be available as a standalone purchase.

“It’s been a dream working with our lovely community to add new content to Trash Goblin over the past six months, and we’re so excited to finally be able to share the full 1.0 launch with everyone, not least because we get to enjoy seeing their reactions to the finale of the bedpan saga!” said Andrew Smith, Creative Director at Spilt Milk Studios.

“That’s not to say that this is our final update for Trash Goblin, as we have plans to add even more post-launch. Wrapping up the Kickstarter rewards, adding more quests, trinkets, and even new gameplay over time! This launch is just the beginning!”
