Special Launch Art Revealed to Celebrate the Release
NetEase Games and NITRO PLUS are proud to announce the release of Rusty Rabbit, a brand-new original title launching today, Thursday, April 17. To commemorate the release, a special piece of celebratory art has also been unveiled.
Special Launch Art
The launch art was created by Kanaban Graphics, who also handled the game’s character designs. April 17 not only marks the release of Rusty Rabbit, but also happens to be the birthday of Takaya Kuroda, the Japanese voice of the game’s protagonist, Stamp. The artwork pays tribute to both occasions in one delightful design.
About “Rusty Rabbit”
“Cute little bunny? …Not a chance.”

Our hero, Stamp—a middle-aged rabbit—finds himself pulled into an unexpected adventure while indulging in his favorite hobby: scavenging old junk. His discovery of an ancient data terminal called “D-TAM,” which holds clues to his missing daughter’s whereabouts, leads him into uncharted depths… and closer to a hidden truth about the world itself.
