The year is nearly over, and new game releases will be few and far between until 2021 gets going. One title that was initially planned for release on PlayStation 4 this year was Rust. The popular PC game is making its way to consoles, and was scheduled for a vague 2020 release. Publisher Double Eleven has now come out and said it's been delayed to next year.
Earlier this month, we pondered when Rust would emerge, given how little of 2020 is left. Thankfully, the publisher has now provided an answer. In a statement, Double Eleven explains that the effects of COVID-19 on day-to-day work has impacted development. Moving the company to fully remote work "presented challenges", which is entirely understandable. It apologises to fans "who were so keen to play it upon launch".
You can read the full statement on Double Eleven's website. At least Rust fans now have an answer, even if it's not the one they wanted. Hopefully the game makes it out sometime in 2021.

Clever solution. Also people are twisted about CP77 and don't even care of these games right now...
Is this the game where most of the videos on YouTube are of some kid crying while a pro player rips his hard work to pieces or when one players kills someone (or a group of people) repeatedly while stealing all their gear and trolling them?
If so, it can be delayed for as long as it likes...
@Kienda I mean, yeah it kinda is. I played it for a while and it can be quite satisfying when you're able to survive in those conditions but I think its time has passed
@eee games are usually released unfinished because fans can't accept a delay to have a good product. They all use the covid excuse to have time to finish the game, and for once I hope this trend to delay-until-finished will continue after the pandemic (which will probably never end)
Not worried as it's online only .....still waiting on a release date for "Green Hell" on the PS4.
@Number09 Same! I’ve been itching for that ever since I finished ‘The Forest’.
@Breekhead Epic game the Forest eagerly await the Forest 2.....not forgetting the Longest Dark another classic.
@Number09 Sons of the Forest will definitely be a day one purchase! I actually just reinstalled The Long Dark. I’m terrible at it and usually die within the first few days but it’s a lot of fun.. especially looting all the cabins. The only one I haven’t started yet is Subnautica but it’s in the backlog.
If you haven’t played Stranded Deep I would recommend it as well.
