Rust Mobile's Second Beta Is Set for August With Wider Availability

Rust Mobile is heading toward its second beta test in August, which means more players will soon be able to experience the joy of waking up underprepared, underdressed and immediately threatened by everything. The new test is expected to widen availability, which is important because translating Rust's social survival chaos onto mobile is no small task. The original formula thrives on tension, betrayal, base-building and the knowledge that another player may ruin your evening for sport.

On mobile, that could become either brilliant or absolutely feral. Either way, it is one of the more interesting survival projects to watch because Rust is not just a game; it is a human behaviour experiment with crafting.
