Level Infinite, a subsidiary of Tencent Games, is bringing the intense survival experience of Rust to mobile with Rust Mobile. The highly anticipated game is now gearing up for its first closed beta test, with applications open for players in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan, and Thailand. This test, scheduled for early November, offers a limited opportunity to dive into the harsh world of Rust on your mobile device.
A True-to-Form Survival Experience
Rust Mobile promises to deliver the core gameplay loop that made the original PC title a massive hit. You start with nothing but your wits, dropped onto a deserted island where survival is the only objective. The game challenges you to scavenge for resources, craft essential tools, and build a shelter to protect yourself from both the brutal environment and other players.
The mobile version retains the defining features of the original, including brutal PvP combat, strategic base raiding, and a dynamic sandbox gameplay system. The developers are ensuring the game feels authentic, with a dynamic day-night cycle, realistic weather system, and region-based biomes that add to the immersive, open-world experience. The concept of permadeath also returns, making every decision—and every interaction with another player—a high-stakes affair.
From PC to Pocket: The Journey of Rust Mobile
The journey to bring Rust to mobile has been a long-awaited one for fans. After years of speculation, Facepunch Studios, the original creators of Rust, confirmed its development. The game has already undergone a seven-day Alpha test and a beta in China, building anticipation among the global gaming community.
This upcoming closed beta is a significant step toward a wider release. It's an opportunity for players to test the game and provide valuable feedback before its official launch. If you're a fan of survival games or the high-stakes world of Rust, this is your chance to get an early look at what's set to become one of the biggest mobile titles of the year.
