In 2018, Facepunch Studios’ Rust forced players to decide just how far they were willing to go to ensure the survival of their characters in a harsh environment. In this game, players can prey on each other for critical supplies. And now, the franchise is heading to a new frontier with Rust Mobile, which will officially debut at Gamescom 2025 from August 20-24 for the title’s first hands-on experience. An announcement trailer for Rust Mobile has also been released, which you can see below.

Level Infinite developed Rust Mobile, which adds a few new touches to its PC predecessor. Players can explore “a real-time, fully immersive world” where they have to fend off rival players as well as the hostile wildlife that is native to the area. All of the core elements of the original game remain intact, including exploration, crafting, base-raiding, and battles to the death.

The trailer hints that players may be given warnings that their bases are under attack alongside an invitation to jump back into the game to defend what’s theirs. There may also be the possibility of trust between players, but there’s a far greater chance of betrayal. Players ultimately get to choose how they want to survive, and if their characters will follow any moral code.

Rust Mobile doesn’t currently have a release date, but interested players are encouraged to preregister at the game’s official site. Players who want to sample Rust Mobile at Gamescom will be able to pick up posters and other merch at the game’s official booth.

Preorders are currently open for The Art of Rust, which will hit bookstores in September. PUBG creator PlayerUnknown, Brendan Greene, is currently working on a Rust-inspired game called Prologue: Go Wayback.
