Rust 2? "Nope," Dev Says After Weird Steam Page Goes Up

Recently, a Steam page for "Rust 2" appeared, prompting people to understandably believe that Rust 2 was happening.

But it is not.

Garry Newman, the head of Rust developer Facepunch, told https://www.pcgamer.com/games/survival-crafting/rust-2-steam-page-appears-facepunch-immediately-starts-messing-with-fans-about-whether-its-legit-now-youre-all-questioning-yourselves-is-this-real-maybe/">PC Gamer, "Nope.

We're not making Rust 2." A Steam page for Rust 2 was published recently, albeit with no images or details on it.

As for what that page was all about, Newman said, "No idea at all."

The staff at https://steamdb.info/app/2869120/">SteamDB, a third-party website that monitors the Steam database, said the Rust 2 page has been flagged as "suspicious" and that it could be "malicious or impersonating another product."
