Among Us News

No matter which indie game you look at, Among Us seems to be everywhere, as the violent beans are now making their way to Vampire Survivors.

It's no secret that Vampire Survivors was one of 2022's best games, and the last year has just seen improvement after improvement, like the new free story mode. Yesterday, during Day of the Devs' Game Awards stream, developer poncle announced its next bit of DLC, and it's a bit of a doozy: aptly titled Emergency Meeting, this next bit of paid content for the unique bullet hell game features the tiny, funny cast of Among Us. You'll have nine "totally trustworthy new characters" to choose from, which are basically just different coloured Among Us beans, and there'll be 15 new weapons too. You can check out the amazingly animated reveal trailer below!

Each Among Us character has unique abilities, like Ghost Lino who can float through walls, and can't receive damage, though apparently can't deal damage either, and Guardian Pina, who boosts the defence of all nearby allies. Weapons wise, there's the Report! weapon which blasts enemies away with "supermassive sound waves," and you can "drop duplicitous foes to their doom with Just Vent."

Hi Crewmates,

I hope you're not too funky from The Fungle which was released last month (you could always use the water at the beach). This month we have some new updates and a special drop as a part of v2023.11.28.

🚨 Important: As of this update, we will be deprecating (removing) 2021 versions of Among Us. 🚨 We've been supporting a lot of older versions of the game, and as it continues to grow and get new features, it gets harder to keep up. We have to remove older versions so we can focus on improving our system for everyone. Make sure you update your game and thanks for understanding!



[h2]The Indie Cosmicube!!![/h2]



We've built our biggest Cosmicube yet featuring: Untitled Goose Game, Undertale, Crypt of the NecroDancer, Celeste, Behemoth (Castle Crashers and Alien Hominid), and A Hat in Time! That is a whole lot of delightful indies right there and so many new ways to dress your Crewmates and impress as the Impost - HONK - hey!

And if you think this couldn't get more awesome, you're wrong. We hope you've been saving up because this Cosmicube only costs 7000 beans!!! Stop by the in-game shop now as the cube will only be available until February 28, 2024!

Gotta chase down that goose,

Dors




What? What's this?

Where are the new bugs?

How can we have an update if we don't include new bugs?!

That's right. Our team has been so hard at work, they've already gone ahead and squashed a bunch of lil' bugs that you, our precious Crewmates, didn't even get a chance to see in action! As of right now, there are zero new known bugs to let you all know about with this update. Of course, that doesn't mean there won't be new ones that pop up (and we'd love to hear from you all if and when you find something out of place, so be sure to send in those support tickets!), but for right now, we can all focus on what really matters - releasing a goose in Dors' office unlocking those sweet new outfits!

I swear I still hear honking... While I investigate, check out the devlog on our website to take a look at the awesome creations we showcased for this update!

See ya later,

Dors

Hang onto your seats, Crewmates!!

We've crash landed with a brand new update, v2023.10.24, featuring THE FUNGLE! Gather your crew and explore the mysterious depths of this fungal jungle together.

🚨 NOTE: You MUST update your game to play. 🚨 This update is not backwards compatible, so make sure you are on v2023.10.24 to get the new map and fixes.





Work with your fellow Crewmates to repair the communication channels after crashing into a deserted island! But it's never that easy is it? Crewmate life is full of dread and chaos.

Deal with an all new sabotage, fix the old ones, and figure out who the Impostors are before you become one of their victims! I wouldn't stand so close to that vent if I were you...

There's a boatload of new tasks for you to try too like:

• 🥏 Playing frisbee
  
• 🎣 Fishing
  
• 🍢 Roasting marshmallows
  
• 🏋️‍♂️ Lifting weights
  
• 🔪 Many more!
  

There are a ton of other surprises for you to find here - hope you like ziplines and the new ejection animation. 😱 And don't worry, if social deduction isn't your thing, The Fungle is also great for Hide n Seek mode!


[h2]Cosmetics[/h2]
What would a brand new map be without some brand new cosmetics? There's a ton of fresh and Fungle combinations in the shop for those of you saving up beans and a Fungle Cosmicube for 70 Stars.


Because they were in such a pinch, the Crewmates opted for a crustacean layout for the new Cosmicube! There's plenty to get hooked on. I'm a big fan of the bucket hat personally, but I've seen how feral you've been for the crab! 👀



[h2]Free Wallpaper![/h2]
Bzzzt Comms may have been destroyed when we crashed on The Fungle, but you pulled through on completing a secret task! Last week, many Crewmates noticed we posted slices of.. something??

Scattered across our Reddit, Discord, Twitter (X?), Youtube, Facebook, and Instagram, you scavenger hunted your way to victory and discovered that a zipline would be on the map! Put together, this is what it looked like:



Feel free to download and use it as your new Fungle wallpaper - just mind the crab! They're a tad pinchy.


[h2]Patch Notes[/h2]

We've been squashing a bunch of bugs in preparation for The Fungle! (Can someone please take care of these mosquitos though?) Here's a list of the biggest fixes:

• Chat box will be selected when opening it in Free Chat - no more needing to click and then type!
  
• Tweaks to audio files which should reduce load times on lower end devices
  
• The Airship and The Fungle will take an extra 5 seconds to load so lower end devices can get all needed assets
  
• Pets of dead players will no longer sit idle - they'll go back to being heartbroken that you're dead
  
• Guardian Angels can no longer protect Crewmates during Comms Sabotage
  
• When creating or finding a game, Impostor count no longer defaults to 3
  

That's quite a few updates! As always, be sure to let us know if you find a bug or glitch that impacts how you play by submitting a ticket to our helpdesk. The info you give us helps make Among Us better for everybean.




Hey y'all! What an amazing time for the crew. Enjoying the relaxing sands of an oceanside retreat, picking mushrooms as you stroll through a shady jungle, running for your life from bloodthirsty Impostors... The Fungle really has it all!

Of course, having it all means having some unexpected bugs, too. We're already hard at work on smashing the latest bunch, but Crewmates out there in The Fungle may experience the ones listed below:

• [Fungle] - The sound effects for the zipline may play continuously if a meeting is called while a player is on the zipline.
  
• [Fungle] - The campfire sound effect may play during a game's intro sequence.
  
• [Fungle] - Invisible collision may block player movement around the Labs.
  
• [Fungle] - The map label for the dock may not be correctly displayed at times.
  
• [Fungle] - The orange fish may be caught at a much higher rate than the others during the fishing task.
  
• [Fungle] - Hats may float behind the player while using the zipline under certain conditions.
  
• [Fungle] - A Crewmate may hang too far below the zipline during the travel animation.
  
• [Fungle] - Using the zipline during a Mushroom Mixup may display the wrong hand color.
  
• [Fungle] - An incorrect task explanation may be displayed while completing the Roast Marshmallow task.
  
• [Practice Mode] - A dummy in the kitchen may spawn that cannot be killed.
  
• [All Maps] - Quick Chat may incorrectly list certain terms as sabotages.
  
• [All Maps] - Shapeshifters may lose functionality if the shapeshift time runs out while completing the Reactor Handprint Reader and Door sabotages.
  

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!

We've talked to a lot of Crewmates about our reporting system lately, and it seems like a lot of you are unaware that we have a whole team of beans whose job it is to read and review the in-game reports you all send. It takes time to go through them, yeah, but it's an important part of keeping the game healthy. So we thought we'd add a little reminder in-game for how our review process works (as well as a thank you for caring enough to help us keep the game fun for everyone).

After sending an in-game report, players will now see the message below to help everyone know:

YES, we do read reports.
YES, they do help (even though you can't see it right away).
And NO, you can't get banned for false "mass reports" (since we actually read and evaluate what's sent).



Phew, big update! That's all from me! Now to get back to roasting my marshmallows...

Mike

Among Us is preparing to drop the first new map for the viral game of tasks ‘n’ traitors in over two years - and there’s a bit of a Mario vibe to its world of strange beaches and mushroom jungles.
