Rusty Rabbit
2025 video game
Rusty Rabbit is a metroidvania action platforming video game developed by Nitroplus and published by NetEase. It was released on April 17, 2025, for Windows, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch.
Synopsis
The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where humans have long abandoned Earth, leaving it to rabbits, who have developed a civilization where the books of Peter Rabbit are seen as holy. The game follows rabbit Benjamin "Rusty" Stamp (voiced by Takaya Kuroda in Japanese and Yong Yea in English), who sets on a journey to save his daughter in Smokestack Mountain.
Gameplay
Rusty Rabbit is a 2.5D Metroidvania. While Stamp's only weapon is a drill at first, he discovers new ones as the game progresses. His abilities can be upgraded by collecting junk and bringing it to his village.
In addition to the story dungeons, the game also has optional procedurally generated dungeons.
Development and release
The game was written by Gen Urobuchi and produced by Yuichiro Saito. Urobuchi was inspired by a picture on Twitter of a Sylvanian Families doll in a mecha.

Why this record matters
The phrase “2025 video game” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q122741093. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2025.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
