Curve Games and developer Coyote House Games have confirmed that Dumpster Gang, the chaotic co-op sandbox about mischievous raccoons, will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 worldwide in March 2027.
The announcement follows the game's inclusion in Nintendo's Indie World Showcase and comes as the studio prepares console and PC rollouts.
Dumpster Gang is a physics-driven sandbox built for single-player and drop-in co-op for up to four players.
Players inhabit the role of raccoons who scavenge dumpsters, steal and hoard junk, raid snacks and trigger unpredictable chain reactions across open-ended stages.
Gameplay highlights include scaling walls, crawling through vents, and searching hard-to-reach nooks while evading a pursuing antagonist known as the Exterminator.
Coyote House Games co-founder Samuel Malone described the console port as a major milestone for the studio, saying the team is excited to make the game available to a broader audience.
Curve Games vice president of publishing Rich Keen thanked Nintendo for featuring Dumpster Gang in the Indie World Showcase and confirmed additional platform releases, noting the title will also be available on Steam, Xbox on PC, and PC Game Pass on December 3.
Key features outlined by the publisher and developer emphasize emergent, sandbox-driven play: players can coordinate to carry heavy loot and solve physics puzzles, rescue captured teammates, and build out a customizable hideout between runs.
Hideout customization uses loot gathered during missions, and a variety of hats—each with distinct abilities—provide gameplay modifiers for future sessions.
The team has positioned Dumpster Gang as easy to pick up thanks to simple controls, while dynamic systems create unpredictable moments and replayable scenarios.
The confirmed March 2027 Nintendo eShop release date positions Dumpster Gang as one of the early third-party indie titles announced for the Nintendo Switch 2 platform.
With a simultaneous focus on console and PC storefronts, Coyote House Games and Curve Games aim to bring the game's cooperative sandbox to a wide audience across Nintendo Switch 2, Steam, Xbox on PC, and PC Game Pass.
For players tracking indie showcases and upcoming Switch 2 launches, Dumpster Gang now has a firm console date and a clear set of features to watch for when it arrives in March 2027.
