Subscribe to our newsletter A Steam listing making the rounds online suggests Rust 2 is a real and free-to-gaming sequel to Rust, but the whole thing reeks of a Reddit troll campaign that could easily be a big ol' farce."RUST 2 IS REAL?!" reads an excited post from Reddit user Freeqncy, who, as rightfully paranoid Rust fans spotted, made their Reddit account today.

The post includes a screenshot for the unlisted Steam page for Rust 2, which you can view for yourself here.

The only meaningful detail on the incomplete page is perhaps the listed genre: "Free To Play".

Freeqncy followed up with a screenshot of Rust 2 in their wishlist, saying: "It's on my wishlist, pretty sure its not fake." This is also what I say when I am not faking things.Almost instantly, Facepunch boss and Reddit hound Alistair_Mc, or Alistair McFarlane, commented on the post, earning it the "Facepunch Response" tag in the Rust subreddit.

"You saw nothing," McFarlane said.

McFarlane is COO and company director at Facepunch as well as a regular on the Rust Reddit ## Editor's Note The implications of this news could be significant for the industry.
