It's time for our BIGGGG bug update, Crewmates!

Our programmers have been hard at work yeeting bugs that have been creepy crawling their way into the game. Some of them you wouldn't have seen but trust us - they're gone now. If you see any bugs disrupting your perfect Impostor plans send us a ticket!

Make sure your game is updated to v2024.10.29 for the fixes.


[h3]Patch Notes[/h3]


Don't worry about Yellow... they're fine. They just helped fix the following:

Okay - deep breath! Thanks for your patience as we got through all these fixes. We're always on the look out for glitches and bugs that are disruptive. If you see any, remember to submit a ticket!

[h3]Hacking[/h3]

This update is a great time to let you know that the our backend team worked tirelessly to fix the slew of hacks in the last few months which have been impacting lobbies. Combating hacks is like resolving Sabotages - when you fix one another might appear later.

Just like when you see a bug, you can report a hack to us by submitting a ticket. Any info you can send is helpful in making sure we can keep Among Us free of disruptive behavior that takes the fun away (outside of Impostors of course).

Try to be descriptive, and if you can get pictures (or video), then that helps out even more! It's like an Emergency Meeting - anything you can add beyond "I saw a thing" gives the team a better shot at solving the mystery.


[h3]Art Time[/h3]
We've talked bugs. We've talked hacks. How about we wind down with some community fan art?

First up is a piece worthy of being evidence from Waffles! on X (Twitter)! The Miles Edgeworth drop brought a lot of excitement and seeing art like this made it even better. Literally no objections.



Up next is Nyan from our official Discord channel! They've done a very cute rendition of their robo-bean. I wonder what operating system it runs on.



Also from our Discord, we have Whisperjein with a lovely... Mermate? Crewmaid? It looks to be making quite a splash.



Over on Reddit, Wellgooey has been croucheting some wonderful Fungle pals! I wouldn't worry about being stranded on an island if I had these cute creations for company.



Thanks for sharing your beautiful beans with us Crewmates! Your art brings the team a lot of joy. Remember to tag us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, Bluesky and Tiktok when you're sharing your creations.

And speaking of creations - not long ago we shared some cute (and scary) pumpkin carving templates so you can scare impress Crewmates during this spooky month. If you use the templates we'd love to see how they turned out! And if you have your own Crewmate designs tag us on our social channels above!

Ta ta for now,

Dors

Tricks? Check. Treats? Also check!

It's spooky month, Crewmates. Before you know it, the Impostors will be knocking on your vents for a "fun" trick -- good thing we DO have a treat for you!



We heeded your ghostly wails and brought back our Halloween hats from 2019 as one Cosmicube! THIS MEANS THE PLAGUE MASK CAN NOW BE YOURS ONCE AGAIN!! You'll look very imp-ressive as you drive your fellow Crewmates a little batty (heh heh).

Spend 2000 Beans to get the Halloween Hat Bundle 2019 and tell your friends to grab it too.

If you need more costumes to stay in the spirit of spookiness, pick up the Trick Cosmicube returning for 70 Stars and the Treat Cosmicube also returning for 2600 Beans. Once you buy the Cosmicube, you can take your time unlocking it (or dive right in like the candy you'll score on Halloween) since it's yours to keep.

All 3 sets will be gone on December 1st, 07:00 UTC (that's December 1st, 2:00 am ET and November 30, 11:00 pm PT). Beware as these cosmetics might not return in future years! Get them now so you're not haunted by your lack of drip.



The Halloween Hat Bundle 2019 Cosmicube contains:

• Batty Hat
  
• Batbean Hat
  
• Chop-chop Hat
  
• Great Goalie Visor
  
• Imp-ressive Hat
  
• Mask, the Monster Mask Hat
  
• MoRawk Hat
  
• Punkin Hat
  
• Plagued Hat
  
• Plagued Visor
  
• Walk the Plank Hat
  
• Wearwolf Hat
  
• Witch One Hat
  

Off to drive the Impostor batty,

Dors


P.S. Have fun on the frightfully decorated Skeld and MIRA HQ maps! Don't worry... the slime on the walls is TOTALLY normal... muwahahahahahahahaha

OBJECTION!

... I'm not sure what to object to but it's not this collaboration, Crewmates! We've teamed up with Ace Attorney Investigations Collection to bring Miles Edgeworth to Among Us.



We have been ecstatic to work with Capcom to get the edgiest prosecutor around to your chaotic lobbies FOR FREE! Just log in to Among Us before October 9th at 17:00 UTC (October 9th at 10am PT and 1pm ET) to receive:

• Miles Edgeworth's Coif
  
• Miles Edgeworth's Suit
  

With this new look no one will challenge your alibi in the next Emergency Meeting!

And be sure to check out Miles Edgeworth in Ace Attorney Investigations Collection, available now on Steam.

Off to tell Wright,

Dors

Among Us has a new collab on the way, this time with Ace Attorney's very own… Miles Edgeworth!

Obviously the first port of call you'd expect for an Ace Attorney crossover of any kind is with everyone's best boy Phoenix Wright, but late last night Innersloth announced that its next collaboration would feature Wright's own rival stroke boyfriend Miles Edgeworth. There's a pretty simple explanation for this one though, as in case you forgot, the latest Ace Attorney collection from Capcom, Ace Attorney Investigations Collection, is all about Miles, so that'll be why you'll be able to get him as a free cosmetic in Among Us that's dropping on September 9. It's unclear if this is a limited time only kind of deal, so if you're an avid Among Us and/ or Ace Attorney fan, you might want to hop on this one quickly.

Ace Attorney Investigations Collection was announced back in June, during Nintendo's Not-E3 Direct, and was a pretty big deal for a lot of fans of the series. While the first game in the pair of titles included in the collection made it outside of Japan, its sequel, Prosecutor's Gambit, has so far only ever been available in Japanese.
