The Art of Rust

UK-based games publisher Facepunch Studios has received critical and consumer acclaim for their games including Rust, Garry’s Mod, Chippy, and more with impressive open worlds and a unique approach to survival. Now, Dark Horse Books invites fans of the world of Rust to take a look behind the art and development of the hit game in The Art of Rust. This full-color art book will showcase the artistic evolution of the genre-defining survival shooter in September 2025.

The Art of Rust illuminates the development and concept art behind Rust—a game where everything wants you to die. The wildlife, inhabitants and environment of an island are all poised to kill you, and then there’s other survivors out to claim what’s yours for themselves! Through this detailed and rich review of costume design, character sketches, and more, fans can experience more of the harsh environments of the game and dive into how their improvised weapons, base props, and vehicles have come to life.

PC Gamer heralds Rust as “one of the cruelest games on Steam, and that’s what makes it so compelling.” Enjoy the art of this ever-evolving, massive survival game when The Art of Rust arrives in hardcover (184-page, 9″ x 12″) in bookstores and comic shops on September 9 and 10, 2025, for $54.99.
