The month prior, Facepunch added a rail network to Rust, and the months prior to that featured a Lunar New Year Celebration, a tech tree update, and all manner of bug fixes and balance changes. In April, for example, Facepunch added an entirely new gesture system to the game, prioritizing animation quality while also minimizing player risk for using an emote at the wrong time. Lastly, the Junkyard monument setting in Rust is said to be overhauled and even has a new crane and vehicle shredder.įacepunch has been a reliable deliverer of updates for Rust for a very long time now. All that's mentioned is that they'll now offer a more seamless transition, assumedly between the world and the monuments. There will also be changes to how Rust's monuments spawn within each of the game's procedurally generated worlds.

The visual update isn't all that will be included with the new Rust update, either. RELATED: Rust's March Update is Adding an Underground Rail Network and More

It seems that Rust has heard the criticism, however. Developer Facepunch Studios has now confirmed that a visual upgrade is coming via Rust's May update.Īccording to reporting from PCGamesN, Facepunch has officially confirmed that Rust's upcoming visual update will be the game's "biggest to date." It doesn't sound like an understatement, either, as Facepunch describes the update ass the culmination of years of work, giving the game a "fresh look." Exact details regarding the visual update have yet to be confirmed, but Facepunch did say that more information will be available as part of a blog to be posted on May 6. It's over three years old now, and even by modern standards, Rust's visuals have aged quite a bit. It's become such a fixture in the multiplayer landscape that it's easy to forget Rust launched in early 2018.

Rust remains one of the most popular multiplayer games available, a mainstay in Steam's list of daily most-played games.
