NetEase Games have announced that Rusty Rabbit will be delayed to 2025 after adding a Nintendo Switch version. The game was previously set to release on September 24. This largely comes from the development staff wanting all players to experience the game at the same time, so the team is holding back the PS5 and PC versions to launch together with Switch.
Rusty Rabbit features quite a few exciting contributors. Gen Urobuchi, writer of Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Fate/Zero, and PSYCHO-PASS, was in charge of crafting the story of Rusty Rabbit, which makes this project extremely intriguing for any Urobuchi fan. Additionally, Takaya Kuroda, voice of Kiryu Kazama in the Like a Dragon series, is the voice actor for the main character, Stamp.
An overview of the title can be found below via Steam:
“Cute little bunny? Not a chance.”
Humankind abandoned Earth as it entered another ice age. Over time, those who came to hold dominion over the world were… rabbits!?
After humanity left, the rabbits referred to humans as “giants” and revered the massive ruins left behind as “Smokestack Mountain.” Those fearless enough to violate and excavate this sacred site are known as “rust diggers.” The protagonist, an old rabbit named Stamp, is one such rust digger, making a daily routine of excavating Smokestack Mountain.
One day, on his way back from exploring Smokestack Mountain, Stamp encounters a rust digging team known as the “BBs” and ends up joining them in a quest to delve deeper into the heart of Smokestack Mountain.
Along the way, Stamp discovers records from ancient information storage devices called “D-TAMs” scattered throughout the ruins. One of these records appears to belong to his estranged daughter, hinting at her peril and revealing hidden truths about the world he once believed in.
To unravel many mysteries and follow his daughter’s trail, Stamp continues his journey into the depths of the ruins…
Rusty Rabbit will launch in 2025 across Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam.
