Among Us News

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.

You know when you're close to winning a game and people start saying "Crewmates, do your tasks"? Well, our Crewmates listened! Just look at how many bugs and issues were fixed up there! We must be close to winning by tasks, right? Well, almost... there's still more stuff to work on. A Crewmate's job is never done!

Here's a quick look at some of the possible issues players may encounter after this update. If you find any more, make sure you send us a bug report so we can start working on it.

[h3]KNOWN BUGS[/h3]

• [The Fungle] - Players with certain screen aspect ratios may see buttons cut off during gameplay
  
• [Practice Mode] [Airship] - Dummies may not spawn correctly after an emergency meeting has been called
  
• Players may see missing letters/characters on the lobby screen with certain language settings
  
• Players with Child Accounts who become old enough to age into Adult Accounts may experience problems accessing certain age-related features
  
• The Friendlist button may be placed incorrectly after accepting a lobby invitation
  

Still on a roll,

Mike



P.S. As always, we can't wait to see what you think of the collab and see what you fanart works you come up with! Remember to tag us on our socials at Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, Bluesky and TikTok!

WOOOHOOO!!!

Our brand new update, v2024.6.18 is available for all players. You NEED to update the game if you want to play the new roles with everyone and see all the changes!

Buckle up cause there's a lot of fun stuff to talk about!



Update v2024.6.18 is here and brings changes under the dropship hood and some more obvious changes like our lobby settings. First up let's talk about those new roles- watch the trailer below.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

[h2]New Crewmate Role - Tracker 📡[/h2]

Grab your bandana or maybe a shrub to hide behind as you keep tabs on a Crewmate. The Tracker has the ability to well... track a Crewmate's location via the map for a limited amount of time. Catch those Impostors in a lie about where they've been and save the crew - or not...



[h2]New Crewmate Role - Noisemaker 🔊[/h2]

AAaaaAaAAAaaaAHHHhhh

No, the Noisemaker doesn't actually sound like that, but they do sound off when they become the poor victim of an Impostor kill. There's also a visual indicator of their death that appears on screen so your fellow Crewmates can run to catch the Impostor red handed (even if it's not Red).



[h2]New Impostor Role - Phantom 👻[/h2]

If you've ever wanted to just up and disappear when you're the Impostor, I have great news. Our new Impostor role, the Phantom, has the ability to turn invisible! Want to escape after the perfect kill? Active your ability and sneak right by those dum Crewmates. Just remember it's for a limited time to plan your escapes and appearances well!



[h2]Lobby Settings[/h2]

When you spawn in the lobby you'll notice that there's a big empty space where the lobby settings used to be! Our user interface expert, Lucy, worked really hard with our programmers to make the settings look beautiful and only a button click away. The right side of the screen now has a menu to clearly display the room code, map, number of Crewmates, privacy, and game setting presets - more on that later.

When you're a Crewmate waiting for the host, you'll be able to view the settings that are applied by selecting 'View' to pop out a handy overview menu so you can see what the host has set up.



If you're the host, you'll have a slightly different menu to tweak and dial in the settings for the next round when you select the 'Edit' button.



In our handy dandy gif (pronounce it jif and you get ejected), you can find our Game Presets I mentioned earlier! Those allow you to quickly change the setup between two options:

Core Settings - for those looking for a classic Among Us feel with no extra roles. Just you, your fellow Crewmates, and some Impostors.

Roles Galore - for those looking to spice up their lobbies by adding in roles to the mix (mmmmm, rolls). You can set the chances of the Tracker, Engineer, Scientist, Guardian Angel, Shapeshifter, and Phantom to be in the game.

We also have two presets available for Hide N Seek:

Pitch Dark - for those courageous Crewmates who want to hide in the darkness without a flashlight.

Flashlights - for those who like shining the light on things... like your Crewmates killed by the Seeker.



[h2]Patch Notes[/h2]

That's a lot of newness happening, but it wasn't just new items the team was working on. We also have a lot of patches so be sure to update your game to v2024.6.18 for these fixes:

• The Fungle - Crewmates wont be stuck in the ladder climb animation if a Mushroom Mixup happens while climbing a ladder
  
• Shapeshifters who are climbing a ladder when a meeting is called will not longer get stuck in the climbing animation
  
• Airship and The Fungle as Shapeshifter - The Shapeshift duration timer now counts down correctly under all conditions
  
• Classic and Hide N Seek - Desolation of Skeld Pet will now appear during matches and not guard their hoard in the dropship
  
• Quick Chat - Text in the chat field will have the same colors as the quick chat builder
  
• iOS - The "Pending Account Deletion" message is no longer hidden by the Friend List bar
  
• Child Accounts that become old enough to be full accounts will now receive permissions correctly
  
• Scientist - The battery duration timer is is no longer blocked by the settings icon on some resolution settings
  
• The Great Goalie visor now layers correctly with certain hats
  
• Skeld - An extra button no longer appears on screen during the second part of the Inspect Sample task
  

(Takes a deep breath) That was a whole lot of stuff! If you're still reading take a quick break yourself and strap back in for the Bug Zone with Mike!




BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! Did you think we were just crafting new roles and overhauling our menus? Nope! We've also been working EVEN HARDER to find more bugs and making sure players have the best experience possible. But there's always more to do, of course. Some players may experience the following known issues:

• Practice Mode - Switching roles while tracking a dummy will track that dummy indefinitely
  
• Lobby - Lobby updates may be shown with the incorrect icon and color under certain conditions
  
• Lobby - Controller buttons may overlap the Game Settings update text when opening certain menus
  
• Lobby - Description text may flicker when opening and closing the edit window
  
• Skeld/Polus - A controller button icon may show up during Inspect Sample task Part 1 when not using a controller
  
• Classic - Audio feedback may happen during certain cutscenes when some buttons are pressed
  

There might be more bugs hiding out there, so be sure to check each vent and under every mushroom like the good Crewmates we know you are. And if you do find something, submit a ticket to let us know!

Mike





I can't wait to see what fun moments y'all clip or turn into your own fan art with the new roles! Before that, let's look at some pieces right now!

You need to find someone that looks at you the way Henry looks at diamonds. Our Discord member, Kean the Bean, really captured the feeling and in a funny meme format too.



Another of our Discord members, AQ, did a rendition of their Crewmate who I believe is ready for anything. The model of preparedness even.



Rounding out our group of three is another Discord member (seeing the pattern?), Amissinpiece, with their ultra gummy and very delicious looking Crewmate.



Great job on these pieces y'all! You can find these and many more fan art works in our official Discord! But don't worry this isn't the only place you can share fanart! Remember to tag us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok with your creations and chaotic moments.

I promised to keep track of Red so I'll see you later!
