Rust
Survival game, Rust, will finally be making its way over to the consoles for even more players to try to survive in the world of Rust
If you have been one of those gamers sitting around and listening to your friends talk about Rust over the years and have not had a PC that could run it, your time of waiting might be up. I say this as it looks like Facepunch is finally bringing the game over to the PS4 and Xbox One sometime in 2020. Nothing too specific as of yet, but it is coming and even more players will be able to run around the world of Rust tot try to survive and build more trust with others. That or let it all come crashing down as it will always be broken. Either way, we now have word that the game is coming to consoles.
Outside of that announcement, there is not much more to say about Rust that the last six or seven years have not as of yet. That is, it does not look like there will be much changing or updating for this version of the game. Sure, there will be some updates for the controller schemes and functions that are purely console, but it does not seem like much else will be changing. I could be wrong, but you can see and read a little bit more about Rust down below and see just what I am getting at here. Take the news however you will for now.
Rust — Console Announcement
Rust, one of the most successful, brutal and competitive multiplayer survival games ever created, is making its way to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Announced today at Microsoft’s X019 in London, fans will get a chance to test their survival capabilities when Rust releases on console next year. When Facepunch and Double Eleven unleash servers in 2020, players looking for the ultimate competitive survival experience on console will be able to play online with up to 100 others.
Waking up on a mysterious post-apocalyptic island littered with dilapidated industrial monuments and probing scientists, it’s up to you to figure out how to keep yourself alive in a world where everything wants you dead.
In Rust, there is one goal above everything else: survive. Conquer thirst and hunger, battle the elements, create clothing and stay safe against hostile forces including other players, scientists, bears, wolves or even succumb to fire, drowning or radiation poisoning. A game without rules, Rust doesn’t tell its inhabitants what to do. Players are free to be deceptive and aggressive with intense player vs. player combat, raiding and looting, but there is potentially even more to be earned with a team of friendly players by your side. In the struggle for survival and supremacy, players can build tiny cabins in the woods to huge scrap metal fortresses in an attempt to stay safe, as well as craft a variety of weapons, bombs and traps.
Since Rust‘s initial launch into Steam Early Access in 2013, almost eight million fans have populated its world and taken part in the ultimate social experiment, making it one of the most played games on Steam. The title has evolved from its earliest days as a primal-survival game to one that stands out among its competitors – featuring shockingly detailed worlds to explore and build in, filled with a variety of gameplay styles, weapons, crafts and above all else: combat.
Rust is not for the faint of heart: the game boasts a steep learning curve and a huge, killer community of players. Befriend them, kill them – the choice is yours. Players will start out alone with nothing but a rock and a torch, finding and learning blueprints to make new and higher-tier weapons, armor, and defenses, building a growing arsenal to give you and your friends chances of survival. Rust will throw a barrage of challenges at you but players can fight back with craftable weapons starting with a rock in your hands, to a spear or bow, through to heavier artillery like assault rifles and rocket launchers.
Have you been waiting for Rust to hit the consoles this whole time or have you been enjoying it for a while now? Is it a bit odd that it took this long to come to the consoles or does it make sense to you? Will this help the game last longer or will it fall due to the need for more servers? Let us know what you are thinking down in the comments and then feel free to discuss. If there is more for Rust to discuss and share, we will do it here. Be sure to keep checking back in for all of that and more.
