Korean game studio NovaFlare released the official reveal trailer for Project Rabbit, an upcoming extraction soulslike action RPG [1, 2].
The announcement introduces a new entry into the challenging soulslike genre, combining high-stakes extraction mechanics with a dark-fantasy setting. This blend of gameplay styles aims to attract players looking for a more punishing experience than traditional action RPGs.
Project Rabbit is set in a world inspired by Alice in Wonderland, though it offers a grim reinterpretation of the classic tale [1, 2]. The trailer showcases a dark-fantasy environment where players must navigate dangerous territories to retrieve items and survive. NovaFlare said the project merges the atmospheric tension of the source material with the precise combat typical of the soulslike category.
The studio unveiled the trailer on the 14th of this month [1]. While specific gameplay details remain limited, the footage highlights the game's visual style and its intended atmosphere of dread and discovery.
NovaFlare is a new studio entering the domestic Korean gaming market with this title [1]. The company is targeting a release on PC via the Steam platform [1, 2]. By utilizing the extraction model, the game will likely require players to manage resources, and risk their progress during each foray into the dark-fantasy world.
The reveal is intended to generate early interest and build a community around the project before further development milestones are reached. The studio has not yet provided a specific release date or detailed system requirements for the PC version [1, 2].
“Project Rabbit is an upcoming extraction soulslike action RPG”
The emergence of Project Rabbit reflects a broader industry trend of blending 'extraction' mechanics—popularized by titles like Escape from Tarkov—with the combat depth of soulslikes. By leveraging a known intellectual property like Alice in Wonderland in a dark-fantasy context, NovaFlare is attempting to differentiate itself in a crowded market of high-difficulty action games.
