Project Rap Rabbit Kickstarter Campaign Revealed
As reported earlier, PaRappa the Rapper developer Masaya Matsuura and Gitaroo Man creator, Keiichi Yano will be collaborating to create a brand new rhythm game IP titled Project Rap Rabbit.
While little information was available then, now the cat's out of the bag and a KickStarter campaign has been revealed.
Here's the plot for the game:
Project Rap Rabbit will see the rebirth of narrative-driven rhythm-action. Set in an alternative version of 16th Century Japan, the world is growing more hostile as the populace becomes increasingly concerned by the growing diversification of their lands.
It is amongst this backdrop of growing isolationism and protectionism that a young rabbit farmer, Toto-Maru, steps up to unify his home. Using the power of Rap to draw strength from music, he finds he's able to influence the world's ruling powers through rhythm and rhyme.
Only by facing off against the world's rulers in epic rap battles is he able to counter corruption and bring peace to this divided land.
Combining their vast experience in the genre, Matsuura-san and Yano-san are looking to push the boundaries of the genre in a new direction. While modern rhythm-action frequently asks players to strive for linear perfection, Project Rap Rabbit will allow gamers to alter the flow of their rap battle in real time, changing the lyrics and emotional direction on the fly, as they look to best their opponents in dynamic one-on-one encounters.
With 35 days to go, the KS campaign has set a goal of £855,000. The game is slated for a PS4 and PC release, with an estimated delivery date for August 2018. £30 will get you a digital copy on a format of your choice and £35 will get you a physical copy.
