​Popular Zombie Game Rust No Longer Has Zombies In ItS

Open-world survival games where you need to worry about other people more than the fantastical enemies. Hugely successful creations that are in alpha and are nowhere near finished. Weird shit happening when people mess with each other. Yes, Rust and DayZ are pretty similar. But, as of last night, only one of them will have zombies.

An update last night on the official Rust site broke the news that the undead will no longer be shambling through the online game's landscapes. From Facepunch's Maurino Berry:


With this change, Rust becomes even more of a game about what other players do to each other and less like something that's trying to capitalize on pop culture zombie obsessions. A smart move that apparently paves the way for other weird things to happen in future updates.
