- A mysterious Steam listing sparked speculation among fans
- The original Rust remains immensely popular since its 2013 launch
Garry Newman, the founder of Facepunch Studios, has firmly quashed rumors of a sequel to the popular survival game, Rust. This follows the sudden appearance of a Steam page labeled "Rust 2," which stirred excitement among fans.
The speculation escalated when a Reddit thread highlighted the Steam listing, prompting a cheeky response from a Facepunch developer stating, "You saw nothing." Despite the buzz, Newman clarified that there are no plans for Rust 2, insisting he has "no idea" about the Steam page's origins, which remains active.
