Description

Rusty Rabbit, the highly anticipated action RPG, is officially receiving a physical release for Nintendo Switch in Japan, as confirmed by developer Nekcom Games.

This announcement offers exciting news for global fans: the boxed version includes comprehensive language support—featuring English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, French, German, and Spanish—ensuring accessibility for a broad audience outside of Japan. For Nintendo Switch users, it is significant to note that the console remains region free.

This means players can purchase and play the Japanese physical release of Rusty Rabbit on their systems worldwide, bypassing the need for a local version.

Such flexibility echoes Nintendo’s commitment to fostering a global player base, particularly for international titles seeking to reach fans beyond their primary release territories. Set against the imaginative post-apocalyptic backdrop of an Earth abandoned by humans and reclaimed by rabbits, Rusty Rabbit invites players into a world where these creatures now view humanity’s remnants as mysterious monuments.

The story follows Stamp, an aging rust digger, whose daily routine of excavating the colossal ruins known as Smokestack Mountain is upended when he joins a group of fellow explorers, the BBs.

As Stamp delves deeper, he discovers data storage devices called D-TAMs scattered throughout the ruins.

One discovery, bearing records from his estranged daughter, propels him on a journey to uncover hidden truths and face challenges in the heart of Smokestack Mountain. Gameplay in Rusty Rabbit blends the thrill of “smash and dash” action with RPG elements.

Players pilot Stamp’s agile mech to speed through maze-like ruins, breaking obstacles, amassing loot, and customizing equipment.

The game offers a progression system where collected materials and parts allow players to upgrade their mech and enhance Stamp’s abilities, facing increasingly powerful foes guarding precious treasures. Rusty Rabbit’s physical Nintendo Switch edition launches in Japan on April 17, 2025.

Pre-orders are already available through official channels.

With its multilingual support and the Switch’s region-free capabilities, international fans now have direct access to the boxed version, expanding the title’s reach far beyond Japanese borders.
