"Rusty Rabbit" Launches Today, April 17!

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.”

Rusty Rabbit is a 2.5D side-scrolling action game where players dig deep into ancient ruins in all directions. The setting is "Smokestack Mountain," a massive ruin left behind by humanity. 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.

 

Dig, Drill, and Discover in an Action-Packed Underground Labyrinth!

Take control of your trusty machine “Junkser” and explore the maze-like ruins. Use drills and blades to break through enemies and terrain, collect valuable items, and forge your path through the unknown.

 

Customize and Grow with RPG-Style Progression!

Gather parts and materials to upgrade your machine and challenge fearsome bosses. Strengthen your gear to delve deeper into the ruins and face even tougher enemies!

 

A Captivating Story by Gen Urobuchi × A Lovable Protagonist Voiced by Takaya Kuroda!

This joint project from NITRO PLUS and NetEase Games features an original concept and scenario by Gen Urobuchi, known for PSYCHO-PASS and Puella Magi Madoka Magica. The Japanese voice of Stamp, the gruff yet endearing rabbit, is brought to life by acclaimed actor Takaya Kuroda. Dive into a whimsical yet emotionally resonant adventure set in a strange and mysterious world crafted by Urobuchi’s unique storytelling.
