NetEase Video games and NITRO PLUS have introduced that motion platformer Rusty Rabbit will likely be launching on Nintendo Swap on seventeenth April 2025 (by way of Gematsu).
Now, on the floor, you may discover the gruff-looking, middle-aged rabbit that chain smokes carrots and assume: “huh!”. You could be entertained as he rides round maze-like maps in a mech –look, Kirby has piloted a mech earlier than, let the bunny reside. And then you definitely may have a look at the tag above and see that Gen Urobuchi, the author of Puella Magi Madoka Magica and creator of Psycho-Go, issues begin falling into place.
Rusty Rabbit is bizarre. Important character Stamp is voiced by Kazuma Kiryu’s voice actor in each Japanese and English, so that ought to provide you with a fair higher concept of the tone. The sport takes place on a post-apocalyptic earth that has been overtaken by rabbits. These rabbits worship the Peter Rabbit books. Yep, Peter Rabbit is God. How does that really feel, Beatrix Potter?
Stamp — who together with smoking carrots likes to swear — is trying to find his estranged daughter. He finds an historical recording machine, often known as a D-TAM, which appears to belong to her, and hints on the fact of the world the rabbits have lived in. Oh, and the sport takes place on Smokestack Mountain. Yep.
Exterior of the conflict of cute characters (there are a variety of fluffy bunnies) and gritty setting, Rusty Rabbit sticks to lots of the Metroidvania conventions. You are simply controlling a rabbit in a mech. He begins with a drill fist, and from the junk he collects within the mountain, he can improve his package by returning to the hub village.
Varied biomes are tucked away contained in the mountain, however alongside the mainline story sections, there are procedurally generated dungeons and difficult bosses that guard treasure.
So it is a mixture of daring and acquainted — however the premise alone is wild sufficient that we’ve got our eyes very peeled for this one. Additionally, what’s it with rabbits and Metroidvanias? Bear in mind F.I.S.T.?
