Among Us fifth map will release this year

Among Us is set to get a host of new features and updates, including a Friend's List to keep in contact with the friends and enemies you make in-game, according to an Among Us 2022 Roadmap blog post.


"Our main priority at the moment are a Friend's List and quality of life improvements," says the post. The team at Innersloth is also planning to streamline the user experience by implementing quality-of-life updates throughout the year to address some of the more confusing aspects of the game, namely in areas like account creation, Cosmicube redemption, chat choice, and more.


The accompanying blog post image details more of the development team's 2022 plans, which promise more roles, more players, more cubes, a Hide 'n' Seek mode, more partner collaborations, and the release of long awaited fifth map.

Among Us devs confirm friend lists in 2022 roadmap

Innersloth has pulled back the curtain on what's coming to Among Us in 2022. There are big additions like a new map and mode on the horizon, but also some welcome quality-of-life updates a little closer in time and even a gosh darn friend list.


"I know, I know, you've been asking for a friend list for ages! It's happening!" community director Victoria Tran says. "Finally, you'll be able to keep in contact with any crewmates you get along with ... or keep tabs on your greatest enemies, I guess? We know a ton of you have found some lifelong friendships from this game, and that's really cool - we want to allow you to keep in touch and continue playing games together!"


Tran goes on to explain that quality-of-life tweaks will aim to make account creation, Cosmicube redemption, chat choice, and other aspects of the game less confusing. "You're basically experiencing the building of Among Us and our adjustment to its popularity with us," Tran says. "That being said, confusing you isn't the goal, so making improvements to the UX is also coming up next. Thanks for being patient with us!"

Among Us 2022 Roadmap 🗺️

Happy New Year, Crewmates!

We’re excited to be back at work on our ship, and that means some exciting plans for 2022. As usual I am sworn to secrecy on the exact details, but here’s a peek at what we can talk about for now.

Our main priority at the moment are a Friend’s List and quality of life improvements. See this post on our website for a larger view of the roadmap image.



EDIT: FORGOT TO ADD MAP 5 TO THE "PLANS" SECTION LOL SORRY. THAT'S STILL COMING.

I know I know, you’ve been asking for a Friend’s List for ages!! It’s happening!! Finally you’ll be able to keep in contact with any Crewmates you get along with … or keep tabs on your greatest enemies, I guess? We know a ton of you have found some lifelong friendships from this game and that’s really cool – we want to allow you to keep in touch and continue playing games together!

As for quality of life updates, many of you have found some of the account creation, Cosmicube redemption, chat choice, and other aspects of the game flow a bit confusing. Understandable! You’re basically experiencing the building of Among Us and our adjustment to its popularity with us haha. That being said, confusing you isn’t the goal, so making improvements to the UX is also coming up next. Thanks for being patient with us!

[h2]Additional Fun Things[/h2]
You might’ve already seen it around our social channels, but here’s a list of things:


Other things are on the horizon (like some more information about Among Us VR!), but for now, that’s what we’re up to. You might see a bit of fun stuff popping up in the meantime, and of course, you can look forward to new content updates too. See you online!

Cheers,

Victoria

Holiday Cosmicubes are here! ❄️

Crewmates! It’s time to get festive for winter.

Two new Cosmicubes have dropped – the Snowflake Cube (earned using Beans) and the Snowbean Cube (earned using Stars). Themed for the holidays, this is full of warm and chilly winter gear for your Crewmate.

These Cosmicubes will only be in the store for a limited time. Get them now before they melt away! Remember: once you have redeemed a Cosmicube in the store, it’s yours to keep forever, and you’ll have as much time as you want to collect the items in it. You just need to redeem it before it disappears from the store.

You can see it all in the game by hitting the "$" sign on the home screen, but here’s a brief overview of the items:

[h3]Snowbean Cube[/h3]
Contains: 6 skins, 11 hats, 3 visors, 3 nameplates



[h3]Snowflake Cube[/h3]
Contains: 22 hats, 1 skin, 1 visor



Hope you enjoy rocking your new gear – can’t wait to see all the festive Crewmates around. Even Impostors can get in on the holiday cheer and slaughter a nice Crewmate for dinner. Uh. I mean. Have a wholesome gathering in the vents with all their friends and family.

[h2]Arcane Cosmicube[/h2]
Speaking of disappearing Cosmicubes, the League of Legends Arcane Cosmicube is also disappearing from the store at the end of this year on December 30th, 2021!



In it you’ll find looks from some of your favorite characters from the show, including Heimerdinger’s Poro pet.

[h2]Out for the Holidays[/h2]
Whewwww. It’s the end of the year for us over at Innersloth and this is the last post we’ll have until 2022! So I’m just going to take a moment to say thank you for everything this year. It’s definitely been bumpy and exciting and wild, but you’ve stuck with us through it all! (Or you didn’t??? That’s okay, too. We still appreciate you.)

We’re still a small team, and while we’ve grown a bit, it’s been a huge learning process getting Among Us to this point. Here’s just a brief glimpse of all the things we’ve done this year: a new map, account system, reporting features, safety additions, 15 player lobbies, art revamp, Cosmicubes, roles, consoles, achievements, and more! It’s kind of wild to reflect back on all of it now. Huh.

I hope you’ve had fun playing, whether it’s a game you play daily or just check up on once in awhile. Thank you.



The team is headed out for our holiday break in a couple of days – it’s the one time where we really can take a vacation, so that’s exciting. If you have any issues with the game, player support will still be around at [email protected]!

And finally, from all of the Sloths and Spacebeans, we hope you have a wonderful winter holiday. Stay warm, stay safe, watch out for any Impostors.

[h2]Upcoming Cosmicube[/h2]

Tomorrow the Holiday Cosmicubes drop! Get ready to get festive and deck the halls with blood some fun new looks. Both a Bean and Star Cosmicube will be available, and we can't wait to see your Crewmates running around. I'll make sure to post about it again tomorrow so you know when it drops!



[h2]Samurai Gunn Cameo[/h2]

We're so excited the Crewmate is making a big cameo in the Samurai Gunn 2 game in their latest update, which just dropped now! It's a fun, extremely speedy 4 player multiplayer fighting game, and the team there nailed the Crewmate vibe. Watch the trailer below and you can get their game NOW on Steam!

Show them some love for us! We were all really lucky to have found players like you in our community, and supporting other indies is something we really want to do more of. Indie games are something special and being able to help support and lift them up? It'd even make an Impostor cry.

Okay that's it for meeeee. See you in the next update for HOLIDAY STUFFS.
