Edmonton, Canada, April 1st, 2025 - Caldera Interactive has unveiled the all new story trailer for its upcoming cozy farming sim / tower defense hybrid The Rabbit Haul, as part of Earth Appreciation Festival 2025, running from April 1st to April 8th on Steam. This highlights games that focus on ecological themes, where nature shapes the gameplay and storytelling in a way that highlights its harmony - or offers a look at the world we'll inhabit if we don't treat it with respect. | |

Coming to PC and Switch in 2026, The Rabbit Haul places players in the role of a cute cottontail trying to rebuild their hometown after it's been ravaged by greedy raccoon gang, the Trash Panda Posse. During the day, you must tend to your crops, replenish your food reserves and economy, water your farm, add harvested produce to your haul, and grow defensive tower plants that will help thwart off invaders. Be strategic in your placement, as an ideal garden will make use of synergies created between harmonious plants.
When you choose to switch over into nighttime, you must defend your haul against the assailing Trash Panda Posse. They'll grow stronger with each wave, with different enemy types attempting to spoil your riches, so you must upgrade your weapons and defenses to ensure you can survive the night!
No two playthroughs are ever the same, as The Rabbit Haul features a sprawling, randomly generated world full of quests and treasures. Explore the overworld to discover unique items and allies that will help rebuild your town and reinforce your defenses even further. Between runs, you can upgrade your towers, unlock new merchants, and prepare yourself for your next adventure. With an array of unique weapons, upgrade paths, powerful towers and crops to unlock, The Rabbit Haul offers countless playstyles to master!
In addition to the story trailer, Caldera Interactive also put together this 60-second Dev Diary offering an introduction to The Rabbit Haul's gameplay loop. Take a peak at The Rabbit Haul's structure and sign up for its alpha playtest this summer on the Discord! | |

| "With the escalation of climate change in recent years, we wanted to make a game that celebrates thriving ecosystems based on biodiversity," said Mickael Zerihoun, Co-Founder at Caldera Interactive. "It's important to find balance in nature, which is what The Rabbit Haul is all about. You need to grow crops, as well as defend them, creating a sustainable habitat for all harekind!" | |
