Rust 2 Steam page appears, Facepunch immediately starts messing with fans about whether it’s legit: ‘Now you’re all questioning yourselves, is this real? Maybe?’

Garry Newman, the founder of Facepunch Studios, confirmed that there will be no sequel to Rust, stating "Nope" when asked about Rust 2. He expressed confusion over a rumored Steam page for the sequel, saying, "I have no idea at all." Rust was fully released on Steam eight years ago and has been a significant title since its early access launch in 2013. A Reddit post about Rust 2 sparked discussions among fans, but SteamDB flagged the app as suspicious, warning users it might be malicious. Facepunch's COO, Alistair McFarlane, commented cryptically, "You saw nothing," which added to the speculation. He later acknowledged the confusion caused by the post, indicating a playful interaction with the community. Newman previously mentioned that a sequel "definitely won't be a Unity game," leaving some room for speculation about future developments in the Rust franchise.

Minecraft’s powerful new mob just arrived in Java, and I can’t wait to see what players build

The Minecraft Chaos Cubed update has been released for the Java edition, introducing the Sulfur Cube mob and the Sulfur Caves biome. Players can find Sulfur Springs in the Overworld, leading to vibrant underground landscapes with Cinnabar and Sulfur blocks. A unique block called Potent Sulfur generates gas bubbles that can induce nausea. Crafting Potent Sulfur requires nine regular Sulfur blocks. The Sulfur Cube can absorb nearby dropped blocks and transform into a 'ball-like' entity, with nine distinct behavior archetypes affecting movement dynamics. Mojang has also adjusted the behavior of Beds and Slime Blocks upon collision, allowing Slime Blocks to bounce mobs indefinitely. The update transitions from OpenGL rendering to Vulkan for improved performance, while OpenGL remains available for older hardware. The Minecraft 1.26.2 snapshot is live, with a full release expected around June.
