Tokyo, Japan — April 17, 2025 — NetEase Games and NITRO PLUS are proud to announce the release of Rusty Rabbit, a brand-new original title launching today. To commemorate the release, a special piece of celebratory art has been unveiled. The launch art was created by Kanaban Graphics, who also handled the game’s character designs. April 17 not only marks the release of Rusty Rabbit, but also happens to be the birthday of Takaya Kuroda, the Japanese voice of the game’s protagonist, Stamp. The artwork pays tribute to both occasions in one delightful design.
