Team17 and Crisalu Games have announced that Goblin Cleanup will be released on consoles, including Nintendo Switch 2, with an expected launch in 2027.
The studio confirmed the console release in an official announcement and released a trailer highlighting the game's cooperative focus and quirky premise.
Goblin Cleanup is a four-player online co-op cleaning game in which players assume the role of professional cleaners hired by a dungeon manager to restore dungeons between adventures.
Team17 and Crisalu Games describe the core loop as cleaning blood and debris, restoring objects and traps to their original positions, refilling chests, and managing creatures left behind by adventuring parties.
The teams reiterated that the game supports solo play or cooperative play with up to three additional players.
In journalistic terms, the developers explained that players will 'take on the role of contracted cleaners tasked with preparing dungeons for the next group of adventurers,' and that cleaning duties range from removing slime and blood to reactivating traps and respawning creatures.
They emphasized the game's cooperative dynamics, noting that teammates can help or hinder one another during runs and that deaths will add to the mess players must clear.
Key features highlighted in the announcement include:
- Four-player online co-op gameplay allowing players to clean dungeons together or solo.
- Environmental restoration tasks such as returning objects to their original positions and rearming traps.
- Creature management, including disposing of remains and handling creatures that survived encounters.
- Unique tools for cleaning, including in-game devices for removing blood and slime.
- Procedurally varied or 'dynamic' dungeons presenting distinct challenges and hazards.
A console announcement trailer accompanied the news; Team17 and Crisalu Games said they will confirm a final release date once it is locked in.
Until then, the companies encourage fans to watch the trailer and follow official channels for updates.
The title is slated for console platforms with explicit mention of Nintendo Switch 2, and readers can expect further information, including eShop availability and platform-specific details, as the 2027 release window approaches.
