The announcement positions Goblin Cleanup as a cooperative multiplayer title focused on resetting and restoring fantasy dungeons between waves of would-be adventurers.
According to the publisher’s announcement, Goblin Cleanup supports up to four players working together to prepare previously blood-soaked dungeons for the next party of heroes.
Players take on the role of customizable cleaning goblins and use a range of tools and mechanics to tidy rooms, restore traps, refill chests, and respawn defeated creatures so the dungeon returns to a playable state.
Team17 and Crisalu outlined the game’s core systems in a feature summary.
Players can personalize their Goblin Maid with cosmetic outfits and team up with friends in online or local co-op.
The game emphasizes cleaning mechanics — using tools such as the Slimop, mimic, and slime dispenser to remove blood and debris from floors and ceilings — alongside object restoration, trap reactivation, and loot replenishment.
Designers also highlighted that some traps and creatures may remain active during clean-up runs, demanding coordinated play.
The developer framed Goblin Cleanup as a lively, cooperative experience that blends lighthearted customization with task-driven gameplay.
Dynamic dungeon layouts and environmental hazards are intended to create varied objectives for each run, while the respawn and restoration systems ensure the spaces feel authentic and ready for the next group of adventurers.
A trailer accompanied the announcement, showcasing the game’s visual style, cooperative mechanics, and several cleanup scenarios.
Team17, known for publishing a wide range of indie and mid-size games, is handling the title’s release on Nintendo Switch 2’s eShop.
Initial reporting on the reveal was published by Alex Seedhouse, a journalist who has covered Nintendo for 16 years.
With Goblin Cleanup scheduled for a 2027 digital launch, Switch 2 owners can expect a new cooperative twist on dungeon activity management when the game arrives on the platform.
