Rainbite was founded in October 2016 by Butler, Trail and Airey as software programming students at Media Design School in Auckland. Rainbite staff developed their first video game Reverie for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and later the Nintendo Switch.[1] Social media promotion kept the marketing budget to "zero dollars", instead engaging with Twitch streamers and passionate users of the PlayStation Vita library to build a fanbase.[1][2]

On 11 June 2019, Rainbite's next game Trigger Witch was announced with a gameplay trailer during the Kinda Funny Showcase, describing it as a twin-stick, action/adventure game set in an odd open world with a 2020 release date for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4.[3][4]
