Dumpster Gang launches December 3 on PC and Game Pass, demo out now

Curve Games announced on October 19 that Dumpster Gang, developed by Coyote House Games, will be released on December 3. The game will be available on PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store, and also for Xbox/PC Game Pass, according to automaton-media.com.

In Japan the release date is December 4 because of time differences, as listed on the Steam store page. A demo is available now on each platform, covering the tutorial and the first two missions, with some elements limited.

Dumpster Gang is played solo or in online co-op for up to four players, with players controlling raccoons that sneak into human houses at night to steal items. Each stage sets mission objectives such as tipping over trash cans, clogging toilets or brewing coffee.

A raccoon catcher patrols the houses and chases players who are seen or make noise. Players can fight back by throwing objects or swinging stick-like items.

Looted items are gathered at the raccoons' base, which includes a shop for customizing the hideout and the raccoons' appearance and for unlocking hats. The game supports Japanese text display.
