We now have a release date for Rusty Rabbit. Nitroplus’ lapin side scroller will come out on September 23, 2024.
Rusty Rabbit is a side scrolling action game in which you play as Stamp. Stamp is a rabbit who make look cute, but he’s an “old soul” who pilots a mech suit. One day, while collecting junk like usual, he discovers some clues about his missing daughter. In order to search for more, he starts to explore underground ruins and discover the secret behind the world. Gameplay will let you use your mech to destroy blocks, loot treasure, and dash through the various mazes. You can also improve both Stamp himself and his mech with a progression system similar to an RPG.
Gen Urobuchi is the writer who came up with the concept for Rusty Rabbit. People may be familiar with his past work on Fate/Zero, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and The Song of Saya. Urobuchi’s nickname in fandom is “Urobutcher” due to his dark stories, tragic plot twists, and tendency to kill off characters. Not all of his works are like that though, so there’s a chance that Rusty Rabbit might be yet another outlier from urobuchi’s usual style.
Rusty Rabbit will come out for the PlayStation 5 and Windows PC via Steam on September 23, 2024. Pre-orders will open on June 4, 2024.
