[Industry news] Facepunch Studios, developers of Rust, sponsor DreamHack Birmingham

This is a press release posted in addition to our usual editorial content.

Facepunch Studios, the developers behind Rust and Garry’s Mod two of the biggest selling games on Steam, are officially sponsoring DreamHack Birmingham this March.

Facepunch will be hosting a humble booth on the show floor where you can experience their new game creation platform, s&box as well as Rust Mobile.

What to expect at the Facepunch booth:

• The Devs: A handful of Facepunch staff who managed to find parking.
• The Games: A chance to see what we’re up to (and maybe complain about being raided in Rust to an actual human face). As well as Rust Mobile, and s&box, a recently announced game creation platform.
• The Vibe: Low-key, friendly, and 100% corporate-jargon free.

“When we heard DreamHack was happening just down the road, it felt wrong not to show up,” said COO, Alistair McFarlane. “We’ve kept the booth simple because we’d rather spend our time chatting with players, than building a two-story fortress. Though, knowing our community, someone would probably try to C4 it anyway.”

DreamHack Birmingham takes place from March 27–29 at the NEC.
