Not a chance. There are two main issues: technical and financial.
Technically, Rust is way too complex and therefore expensive to hire for. Same reason why other languages like C++ that compile to Wasm won't succeed either.
Financially, Google and Apple won't allow their digital stores lose market.
But even if those reasons weren’t a thing, Wasm is not as fast as native code and it would be a huge waste of bandwidth downloading every time game resources (measured in gigabytes these days!), even if you cache and allow huge offline storage.
In the end, you end up with a pseudo operating system, but just worse.
