The Rabbit Series — Chapter IV
The open road awaits — and it's absolutely brimming with trouble.
Out Now 2026
The Story
Rabbit Road picks up three years after the events of Rabbit: Underhill Rising. Our hero, Fen, has left the familiar brambles and burrows far behind. Armed with nothing but sharp wits, a battered rucksack, and a half-read map, Fen sets out across the Greywood Expanse — a crumbling stretch of asphalt and folklore that nobody in their right mind travels alone.
The road is alive. Abandoned petrol stations hide underground networks. Roadside motels conceal the remnants of an old war the Burrow Council would rather forget. And something enormous is moving beneath the tarmac, something that has been waiting since the very first game.
Rabbit Road is a love letter to the open road, to things half-remembered, and to the peculiar bravery of small creatures in enormous places.
The Full Series
The Rabbit series began as a stripped-back underground platformer and has grown into one of the most distinctive action-adventure franchises in independent gaming. Each chapter expanded the world, deepened the lore, and handed players a new corner of the Greywood to explore.
2019
Where it all began. A claustrophobic precision platformer set entirely beneath the earth. Fen is just a kit, fleeing the collapse of the Old Burrow. Short, sharp, and utterly unforgiving — it established the series' signature sense of dread and momentum in equal measure.
2021
The series took its first breath of open air. Fen surfaces into a fractured heathland teeming with rival clans, shifting weather, and the first hints of a world far larger than any burrow. The crafting system and day-night cycle made their debut here to widespread acclaim.
2023
The darkest entry. Fen returns to what was once a thriving rabbit city, now a neon-soaked ruin occupied by something that shouldn't exist. A Metroidvania-influenced structure, a full voice cast, and a climax that split the fanbase right down the middle. Essential.
2026
The series goes wide. An open-road adventure across the Greywood Expanse, blending the underground tension of part one, the environmental breadth of part two, and the narrative ambition of part three. The biggest Rabbit game ever made.
What's New
Rabbit Road builds on everything the series has done before and throws it headlong into a world that doesn't end at the horizon.
The largest environment in the series by a considerable margin. Over forty distinct zones connected by a living road network — each with its own weather patterns, resident fauna, and buried secrets. Stray from the tarmac and you'll find the most interesting things the game has to offer.
Fen moves with genuine weight and speed. Sprint into a slope and you carry velocity uphill. Misjudge a corner and you'll tumble spectacularly. The traversal system rewards players who learn the terrain rather than brute-forcing every obstacle.
Hold still. Fen has exceptional hearing. Press your ear to the earth and the road will tell you things — rumbles beneath the surface, conversations two rooms away, the rhythm of something vast moving underground. The series' signature environmental storytelling pushed to its logical extreme.
Scattered across the Expanse are entry points to a vast underground network connecting every region of the map. Master it and you can cross the world in seconds. Neglect it and you're wandering the surface like a tourist. It rewards thorough exploration handsomely.
Nothing in Rabbit Road is a fixed encounter. Every faction, every roadside character, every standoff has multiple outcomes based on your choices, your timing, and what you've done elsewhere in the world. The Greywood remembers.
A full original soundtrack of sixty-two tracks ranging from stark acoustic folk to driving ambient electronics. The music shifts dynamically with the time of day, your speed, and the tension of the moment. Composed by the same team responsible for the critically lauded score of Underhill Rising.
The World
A stretch of blacktop and broken land running from the Northmere Flats to the Saltcliff Coast. Six hundred kilometres of rabbit country, most of it trouble.
The full breadth of the game world, stretching from the Northmere Flats to the Saltcliff Coast.
A sprawling graveyard of rusted machines hiding the deepest section of the Burrow Network.
The series' first water-adjacent zone, with sea caves, wrecked trawlers, and something ancient in the fog.
Sixty kilometres of salt desert. Exposed, disorienting, and absolutely brimming with buried lore.
The Expanse's only real settlement. A crossroads town where every faction operates and nothing is straightforward.
Series Lore
Seven years of storytelling. One thread running through all of it.
2019 — Rabbit: Underground
The Old Burrow falls. Fen escapes. Something in the deep darkness wakes up and follows.
2021 — Rabbit: The Heathland
Fen discovers the world above ground, fractured clans, the ruins of a Burrow Council, and the first mention of the Greywood. The underground entity — named by fans "the Undertread" — leaves its first surface scar.
2023 — Rabbit: Underhill Rising
Fen returns to a city. The Burrow Council's legacy is everywhere and all of it is rotten. The Undertread is no longer a rumour. Three different endings, none of them comfortable.
2026 — Rabbit Road
Three years of silence. Fen hits the road with a map, a purpose, and the weight of every decision from the previous three games. The Undertread is moving. The Greywood is wide open.
The Rabbit series has always used its settings as metaphors. Underground was about the terror of enclosed spaces and the trauma of home. The Heathland was about identity without a community to reflect it back. Underhill Rising was about institutions, rot, and the way corruption hollows out things that were once good.
Rabbit Road is about movement. About putting distance between yourself and what happened, and discovering that the road has memory too.
"The Greywood doesn't care who you are or what you've done. It just asks whether you're still moving."
The Undertread — the subterranean force hinted at since the very first game — is no longer optional lore. Rabbit Road makes it the central threat, and answers questions that fans have been discussing since 2019. What is it? Where did it come from? Why did the Burrow Council lie about it?
Whether you've played every entry or this is your first encounter with Fen, the game is designed to function as a complete experience. Veterans will find years of threads finally pulled tight. New arrivals will find an open road and a very good reason to run.

FAQ
Not at all. Rabbit Road is designed to work brilliantly as a standalone experience. Veterans will find a great many threads paid off and references that reward familiarity, but the game's core narrative is entirely self-contained. If anything, it's a rather fine starting point for the series.
Yes. Rabbit Road detects existing Underhill Rising saves and adjusts certain dialogue, NPC reactions, and background details based on which ending you achieved. It has no bearing on the critical path, but it's a meaningful acknowledgement of where you left things.
The critical path runs roughly sixteen to twenty hours depending on your familiarity with the series and your approach to traversal. A full completionist run, including all Burrow Network routes, faction storylines, and optional lore locations, sits at around fifty hours. The Greywood rewards lingering.
Rabbit Road is a single-player experience from start to finish. There is an asynchronous community element — players can leave road markers visible to other travellers — but there is no direct multiplayer mode. The series has always been designed around solitary exploration and that remains entirely the point.
A physical Collector's Edition is available through limited independent retailers, including a cloth map of the Greywood Expanse, the original soundtrack on vinyl, and a small cast figure of Fen. Details are available through the purchase link above.
Rabbit Road ships with a comprehensive accessibility suite including fully remappable controls, adjustable HUD scale, high-contrast mode, three difficulty presets plus a fully customisable difficulty menu, subtitles with adjustable size and background opacity, and a motion reduction option for players sensitive to camera movement.
