In Clean Up Earth, players not only rid the virtual planet of trash, but can also do good in the real world.
Clean Up Earth is a cooperative game in which players travel to polluted areas of the world and rid them of all trash. This restores abandoned structures and allows flora and fauna to return. With the “Terra Cleaner,” players can suck up trash, process it, and recycle it, visibly changing the environment for the better. This can be done in either single-player or co-op mode. There will also be “community sessions” in which up to 25 players can work together.
But it’s not just the virtual planet that is being freed from trash. The full version of Clean Up Earth will feature an innovative system that allows players to automatically trigger micro-donations with their actions. These donations are then made by the studio and its partners to environmentally friendly NGOs – at no extra cost to the players. At the beginning of the game, when creating a character, players can select a partner organization to which the donations will go.
If you want to see for yourself what the game has to offer, you can download the demo for free until March 2 as part of Steam Next Fest (game preview). The demo includes four tutorial maps, four solo missions that can also be played in co-op mode, and a large multiplayer map where up to 25 people can play for around two hours.
Clean Up Earth is being developed by French indie studio Magic Pockets, which has previously worked on well-known franchises such as Baldur’s Gate and The Sims. The game is scheduled for release in April this year for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series.
