Nintendo confirmed Dumpster Gang, a new multiplayer title from Curve Games and Coyote House Games, for Nintendo Switch 2 with a planned release in March 2027.
The game was revealed during the Nintendo Indie World Showcase on October 28, 2026, where a trailer introduced the project and its raccoon-centered, cooperative chaos.
Dumpster Gang positions players as a band of mischievous raccoons completing chaotic missions across colorful environments.
Nintendo presented the game as light-hearted mayhem: players will team up to smash and steal while carrying out small, mischievous acts rather than serious violence.
The announcement emphasized cooperative play, with players hauling loot, rescuing fellow raccoons, and solving environmental puzzles as they try to evade a pursuing antagonist called the Exterminator.
Gameplay features highlighted in the Indie World presentation include local multiplayer mechanics and support for GameShare, allowing groups to play together.
The developers also noted Joy-Con 2 mouse controls as part of the control scheme on Nintendo Switch 2, aiming to provide accessible inputs for puzzle solving and item manipulation.
The trailer shown during the showcase offered a first look at mission variety, character animation, and the game’s humorous tone.
Curve Games and Coyote House Games both appear in the announcement credit line; the two companies are listed as the teams behind Dumpster Gang.
The title’s announcement date and platform details are confirmed by Nintendo’s Indie World Showcase on October 28, 2026, and the March 2027 window attached to the reveal.
As an upcoming indie release for Nintendo’s next-generation handheld/console hybrid, Dumpster Gang joins a slate of smaller-team projects spotlighted by Nintendo’s Indie World program.
With its cooperative focus, cartoonish presentation, and clearly stated March 2027 launch window on Nintendo Switch 2, the game is now on the radar for fans of party-style multiplayer and indie developers working with Curve Games and Coyote House Games.
