Among Us News

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s next update will include an Among Us style deduction mode

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s Season 5 update will add Double Agent mode, “an investigative Multiplayer party experience” where a team of 10 is infiltrated by three randomly selected double agents. The lone investigator must work with the rest of the players to snuff out the creeps intent on planting bombs and taking lives.

Oh, to be an innocent little bean, spinning gently through the atmosphere, jettisoned unceremoniously from the airlock after being falsely accused of shenanigans. Soon, you will be drifting around the Among Us map dutifully completing tasks as a ghost. Let's face it, being a regular old crewmate is fun, but it's significantly more thrilling to be assigned the role of impostor, carrying out your secret mission while trying not to be too sus.

But what if - instead of wheeling through the void of space after being voted off, you were yeeted straight to the victory screen, because you were actually the Jester, whose sole purpose is to act suspicious and be nominated for ejection? The best Among Us mods add an assortment of new roles to the game to add to the chaos, ensuring each game is wildly unpredictable - some of them even overhaul the social deduction gameplay entirely, transforming the multiplayer game into something new.

Before installing an Among Us mod, we recommend making a copy of your game folder. These mods are designed for use on private servers with friends - please don't try to join a regular game with mods installed. Everyone you play with needs to have the mods installed, but if you don't have a full squad available, there are Discord communities for several of these mods, and occasionally dedicated private servers, too.

Vent Cleaning & v2021.6.30 Patch Notes

Hi Crewmates!

Quick post to let you know about the changes in the latest patch for version 2021.6.30.

[h2]New additions: [/h2]

Added vent cleaning task. Cleaning the vent will prevent any impostors from using that specific vent, but Impostors can still use other vents and the vent will be usable once it’s cleaned. If an Impostor is already camping out in a vent and then you start cleaning that vent, it'll boot them out with a dramatic sound and you'll see who it is. Surprise!
New languages. Traditional and Simplified Chinese and Irish localization added.

[h2]Bug fixes: [/h2]

Getting stuck in place after a meeting is fixed. This was the biggest issue with the latest update, so run free now!! Be free beans!!
Scaling on "SHH" screen fixed. YES I read your comments on the SHH screen. The absolute hate that poor screen got, my goodness. I had to give it 3 tubs of ice cream to feel better. It's okay though, the world is aligned once again, the proportions have been fixed after it got weirdly borked.
Geoff eyepatch is now (sadly) back to being a mask. :(
Clouds in the Airship no longer move in the wrong direction. No more backwards progress! Onward!
Upload Data phone colors fixed. I have no clever caption for this.
All major buttons are now localized. Yeah I’m really running out of fun ways to make this content interesting.
Other minor visual and localization bug fixes. Our programming and QA team did a really great job please give them a psychic high five.

[h2]Ongoing bugs: [/h2]

Wizard hat still missing. Still casting an invisibility spell. Working on finding it, sorry!
4:3 resolution still needs to be scaled. That’ll be addressed.
And quite a few others, but those are the biggest ones I'll list out.

And if you're a fan of grabbing physical editions of the game on console, pre-orders for it has just opened up!! (Release date for the game on Xbox and PlayStation has NOT been announced yet.) It comes with a ton of goodies with 3 different editions - Ejected, Crewmate, and Impostor! Check them out and pre-order here.

That’s it for now! Don’t forget the roadmap is the place to go if you’re interested in what we’re working on next, and check out our updated mod and fan creation policy if that’s something you were curious about.

See you next time!

Among Us’ 3rd Birthday & 15 Player Lobbies Out Now!

IT’S AMONG US’ BIRTHDAYYYYYYYYYYYY!

On June 15th 2018, we released Among Us... as a local, mobile only game with just a few players. And now in 2021, not only is the game out on PC, Nintendo Switch, mobile and soon Xbox and PlayStation, but we also have this GIANT community of Crewmates and Impostors all over the world???

You really showed up!!
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
To celebrate, 15 player lobbies are OUT NOW, which includes things like:

An improved art style (subtle, but cleaner and easier for us to animate) - 4K BEAN GRAPHICS ARE THE FUTURE.
6 brand new colors: Tan, Gray, Banana, Rose, Maroon, and Coral -- I have seen absolute blood baths in the comments section of people claiming Rose and Banana for their mains. Be safe out there. The pastel stans are thirsty for their cute colours, and rightfully so. (Also I know these colours are not super colourblind friendly - we want to move away from colours being the main way people identify Crewmates, so hang tight!)
A new kill screen meeting menu that indicates who died between rounds -- Yeah that's right I know you don't keep track of who dies!! This is a call out to you Steve. (I don't know a Steve but whoever is named Steve must be really freaked out right now.)
Ability to honk horn added to The Airship 😀 If you have the “Stabilize Steering” task, bop the horn to honk it. Most important update in my humble opinion.

And various bug fixes:

The shop works in multiple languages again
Right Hand Man skin kill animation makes the WEEEEH sound again
Kick/Ban icon remains persistent on screen if chat is open after voting ends
Made it more clear you can change the chat type (Free Chat VS Quick Chat) in the game settings if you are logged in
Various localization fixes
Players will stop moving when meetings are called

Whew! Wondering what's next? Make sure you check out the Among Us Roadmap to see what our plans are.

Cheers,
Victoria

Among Us is getting a hide and seek mode and new map

Among Us has heaps of cool things coming your way. Developer InnerSloth revealed during the Summer Game Fest stream that it's got a rough roadmap of goodies that'll come out in no particular order.

The Among Us team is working on a new mode that's based on hide and seek. There aren't more details than that, but you can guess how it'll go. A short clip shows one seeker mulling around as they try to find a rabble of crewmates that are littered around the map hiding. We've got one hiding in the bathroom, and another among some snowmen. InnerSloth also revealed that they're working on the game's fifth map, though there isn't much to show off yet.

You're also getting new roles such as sheriff and scientist. What that entails, however, wasn't shared, so sit tight. There's good news for those of you who are looking for more customisation options. Soon you'll be able to colour your wee beans tan, maroon, grey, banana, and coral - you're getting more cosmetics, too. If you're more of an achievement hunter, there's something on the roadmap for you, too - Among Us is getting achievements. During a short clip, we see one player get one for racking up five kills.
