Rust’s hotly anticipated naval update is delayed into 2026: ‘We took on too much’

Facepunch Studios has introduced a medieval-themed primitive mode and an expansive jungle biome in Rust in early 2025. The highly anticipated naval expansion update has been delayed, which would allow players to build ships and engage in naval battles. COO Alistair McFarlane acknowledged the disappointment in a blog post but emphasized the studio's commitment to quality updates. A Christmas update is scheduled for December 18, incorporating features initially planned for the delayed naval update, followed by a smaller update in January that will preview plans for Rust in 2026.
