CobraTekku Games and PixelRats have confirmed that KIYO – Bunny Tyranny will launch digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide on 25 June 2026.
The announcement arrives with developer and publisher materials outlining the game’s neon-drenched setting, core stealth mechanics, and a trailer accompanying the release details.
Background and setting
KIYO – Bunny Tyranny is a 2D stealth-adventure set in Rabbit Hole City, a neon-lit metropolis where rabbits, organized under the corporate authority BunnyCorp, have established a repressive technocracy.
The player assumes the role of Kiyo, a former hunter-turned-resistance operative who navigates the city’s shadows to undermine the rabbit regime.
The developers describe the world as a blend of anthropomorphic character design and technological dystopia, with visual cues inspired by East Asian metropolises and a synthwave soundtrack supporting the game’s noir aesthetic.
Publisher summary (rewritten)
The publisher frames the premise as a technological dystopia where BunnyCorp’s dominance and smartphone-driven culture have transformed Rabbit Hole City into a confined, heavily policed environment.
In response, Kiyo, guided by a mysterious ally, becomes part of a resistance movement that uses stealth, sabotage, and tactical gadgetry to fight back against the rabbit-controlled order.
Gameplay and features
The release materials highlight a focus on stealth and tactical planning rather than head-on combat.
Key features outlined by the developers include:
- Precision stealth movement: Kiyo’s mobility and quiet traversal are central to infiltrating guarded districts of Rabbit Hole City.
- Stealth tools and gadgets: Players can employ a bow and arrow and distraction devices such as tactical carrots to manipulate enemy patrols.
- Environmental puzzles: Clues and puzzles are embedded in the pixel-art levels, encouraging observation and planning.
- Distinct visual and audio identity: Neon-infused pixel art, East Asian metro inspirations, and an original synthwave soundtrack define the game’s atmosphere.
Release details
KIYO – Bunny Tyranny will be available on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch on 25 June 2026.
A trailer released alongside the announcement provides the first extended look at the game’s art direction, stealth systems, and world design.
For Switch owners tracking upcoming indie releases, KIYO – Bunny Tyranny positions itself as a stylistic stealth title with a clear launch window and a focus on tactical, observation-driven gameplay.
