Crisalu Games and publisher Team17 Digital will launch Goblin Cleanup on Steam Early Access on August 28, 2025. This co-op cleaning game puts players in the role of goblin maids cleaning up messy dungeons after adventurers. Blending party genre with cooperative action, it turns tasks like mopping blood, resetting traps, and avoiding monsters into hilarious chaos.

Whether tackling the mess solo or teaming up with up to three friends online, the game has a touch of mischief, you can accidentally (or not-so-accidentally) make things messier. Dungeons are dark and dangerous, filled with active traps and roaming monsters, so stay alert while using tools like the slime-topped mop, mimic or slime dispensers to clean blood from floors and ceilings.

Additionally, you’ll repair broken objects like barrels and crates, placing them back to keep the dungeon’s authentic vibe. Resetting traps is essential, but watch out, some stay active and can surprise careless goblins. You’ll also respawn creatures, clear their remains, and handle monsters, while refilling treasure chests with loot prepares the dungeon for future adventurers.

Team17 producer Louis Reeve said: “Crisalu Games has been great to work with, and their passion for delivering a fun dungeon-cleaning experience shines through! We’re thrilled for players to dive into Goblin Cleanup and start their shift — just watch your step!” A Kickstarter campaign in October 2024, backed by over 3,000 supporters, unlocked rewards like a custom boombox, photo mode, and themed dungeons.
