Despite the apparent popularity of the shambling dead, zombies have been evicted from Rust; it's for the better according to our Rust review. It’s no longer a zombie survival game - though it never really seemed like it was, regardless of the presence of the undead - as of the latest update.

“Yep. We did it. We decided we couldn’t hold off any longer. The longer we keep zombies in – the more complaints we’d get about removing them. We are forcing ourselves to deal with it. We are no longer a zombie survival game! They’ve been replaced with red bears and wolves. You hate them. We know. They’re just plugging a gap for now. All will be revvvealed,” reads the blog post. Is the triple “v” a hint? Perhaps.

And complaints about them being removed have already started coming in. “Zombies is a massive Loss. not sure i would have paid for this game if it wasn’t marketed as a zombie survival game… this isnt an update its now a different game, [sic]” writes one user.

The zombies were never meant to stick around, though, and the game wasn’t marketed as a zombie survival game. Creator Garry Newman never even meant for them to make it to the Steam version. "[T]he sooner we remove them the less people will miss them," he said back in January.

Along with the removal of hungry walking corpses, the new update improves both the wildlife and resource objects along with a slew of other changes.

Disappointing at first sight. I wanted more zombies and to be able to host my own server and have a 'proper' zombie survival game.

I'll withhold a judgement as to whether I've wasted my money until the reveal.
