The Rabbit Haul FINALLY Releasing First Open Playtest!

A gang of troublemaking raccoons has wrecked the town in The Rabbit Haul, and players will soon get the chance to fight back. Caldera Interactive announced that the open playtest for The Rabbit Haul will go live on December 3rd, inviting players into a cozy farming and tower defense adventure where one determined rabbit takes on the chaotic Trash Panda Posse.

In The Rabbit Haul, players take on the role of Sprout, a hardworking rabbit trying to rebuild their hometown after a crew of greedy raccoons ran it into the ground. During the day, players plant crops, grow powerful flower towers, tend to their garden, and design strategic garden layouts that reward synergies. When night arrives, the raccoons attack in waves, each more catastrophic than the last, and Sprout must defend the haul with weapons and plant towers.

Every run contributes to rebuilding the town and unlocking new merchants, shops, characters, weapons, and upgrade paths.

What The Rabbit Haul Offers

  • Cozy farming crossed with tower defense combat

  • A daytime garden building phase with fun plant and wildlife synergies

  • A nighttime combat phase against the Trash Panda Posse

  • High replayability
