It has become part of Rust\u2019s identity. Turning up, every month, without fail. Not today,&#8221; he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We took on too much. The naval update is massive, lots of new systems, touching old ones, and the closer we got to patch release, the less confident and happy we were with the state of it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Facepunch apparently considered pushing out the update and hoping for the best, but decided not to risk &#8220;crippling servers&#8221; this close to the holiday season: &#8220;We do not want to drop server populations by 100 to 200 players or spend the holiday period firefighting performance and bugs,&#8221; McFarlane explained. &#8220;Rust is in a good state without the naval patch, we cannot justify risking stability for the sake of hitting a date.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"QMeX8uu9PXDttJARoPPAkc\" name=\"rustnaval2\" alt=\"A makeshift cannon surrounded by sandbags in Rust\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/rusts-hotly-anticipated-naval-update-is-delayed-into-2026-we-took-on-too-much.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"inline\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Facepunch Studios)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Consequently, Facepunch has pushed the naval update&#8217;s release back to February 5, 2026. McFarlane laments letting players down by &#8220;missing the update window we have never missed before,&#8221; but he says the studio would &#8220;feel worse shipping something half baked.&#8221; It&#8217;s just like Shigeru Miyamoto<a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0594427\/quotes\/\" target=\"_blank\"> once said<\/a>: &#8220;Who knows how Mario will look like in the future?

We&#8217;re all tired. Let&#8217;s consider this a learning experience and move on.<\/p>\n<p>The naval update&#8217;s delay doesn&#8217;t mean players will go through the holidays without so much as a stocking filler, however. McFarlane says that &#8220;some of&#8221; the changes and additions Facepunch planned to release this week will be folded into a Christmas update on December 18. This will be followed by a smaller update in January that will introduce &#8220;light changes&#8221; and an overview of Facepunch&#8217;s plans for Rust across 2026.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"f6c14762-6cea-431c-9e82-080612ff3410\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:400px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Vji3V6i3HDWUHeQ22PrjFL\" name=\"New Project (8).jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/rusts-hotly-anticipated-naval-update-is-delayed-into-2026-we-took-on-too-much-1.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-games-2025-upcoming-pc-release-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"f6c14762-6cea-431c-9e82-080612ff3410\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2025 games<\/strong><\/a>: This year&#8217;s upcoming releases<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/survival-crafting\/rusts-hotly-anticipated-naval-update-is-delayed-into-2026-we-took-on-too-much\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Facepunch&#8217;s survival sim Rust has had a busy 2025, adding its medieval-themed primitive mode at the start of the year, introducing a massive jungle biome in March, and experimenting with radical changes to its progression systems and meta through the summer and autumn.
