Weird Among Us Cosplay Lets You Be All 10 Players At Once

Weird Among Us Cosplay Lets You Be All 10 Players At Once An Instagram user is making "low-cost" Among Us cosplays using his own body parts to represent the crew members of the beloved multiplayer game. An Instagram user has found a bizarre way to cosplay multiple Among Us characters at the same time. The social deduction game has taken the internet by storm despite being largely ignored when it released in 2018. The game has reached such incredible amounts of popularity that the developer cancelled a sequel to focus up on developing the current game. Among Us, like the similarly explosive Fall Guys before it, owes much of its success to its adorable, minimally designed characters. The astronauts in Among Us are small, beanlike creatures, decked out like Skittles in bright primary colors. Like in Fall Guys, players can purchase cosmetic accessories for their astronaut, including hats, and even little pets that can follow them around. While players are mostly interested in Amo...

Among Us As Imagined By God Of War Art Director Is Nightmare Fuel

Among Us As Imagined By God Of War Art Director Is Nightmare Fuel

Sony Santa Monica Art Director Raf Grassetti uses his talents to reveal what he believes is hiding under the helmets of Among Us' Impostors.

Among Us As Imagined By God Of War Art Director Is Nightmare Fuel

Among Us fan art has been taken to entirely new heights now that the Art Director behind 2018's God of War has unleashed his own high-caliber work upon the internet, and it's nothing short of nightmare fuel. Although Among Us has been around since 2018, it has only lately started to garner a huge and sudden mainstream following. The murder mystery-meets-sci-fi horror game requires players to use their powers of deduction to suss out the Impostors from within their ranks of innocent-looking crewmates quickly - or otherwise meet their sometimes grisly animated demise.

Two years after its initial launch, InnerSloth’s Among Us has recently become a cult classic among gamers. Many high-profile Twitch streamers and YouTubers have released videos of themselves playing the game to alleviate their lockdown boredom, much to the entertainment of fans and fellow players alike. It’s simple and minimalistic graphics may not be what many gamers today are used to, especially now that more realistic and smoother looking 4k games are being released, but that hasn’t dampened down the ever so slightly macabre gameplay of Among Us. With a parasitic shapeshifter whose soul goal is to ensure the rest of the crew meet an untimely end, the game is engaging, tense and darkly humorous.

Raf Grassetti, full-time Sony Santa Monica Studios Art Director and part-time 3D fan artist, has shared a haunting interpretation of what must hide under the non-descript space helmets worn by the Impostors in Among Us on Instagram. In his reimagining, a writhing mass of tentacles protrude out of the red space suit, as the parasite within smashes through the visor of the blue crew member, killing them. This depiction is most likely inspired by the in-game killing method of the impostor using a spear like tongue to target an unsuspecting crew member’s head, but it looks far more grotesque coming from the AAA specialist than in the actual game's lo-fi 2D aesthetic.

Of course, this is not the only fan art inspired by Among Us following its sudden smashing success. Twitter user and YouTuber Neytirix created a mini comic strip also inspired by the game, once more picking up on the game's darker undertones that are not immediately apparent. Featuring three panels, each depicting the stages of gameplay that lead to the social deduction element of Among Us, the comic strip truly shows how the players must not simply just state what they witness and know to be true, but also use their charisma and charm to convince others to vote the same way as them in order to eject the Impostor from the ship in order to secure a Crewmate win.

With this comic strip combined with Grassetti’s God of War-tier artwork, players can now truly envision the horror and manipulation disguised by the brightly hued space suits and simplistic style in Among Us. Perhaps now the popular lockdown party game will be seen in a whole new light by gamers, as they weave their webs of deceit and annihilation from the comfort of home.

Among Us Hat Graph All 94 Hats Ranked From Cute To Sus

Among Us Hat Graph All 94 Hats Ranked From Cute To Sus Among Us' hats can say a lot about the player that wears them and may influence who dies first. Here's every hat in the game ranked from cute to sus. One of the best ways to appear innocent in Among Us is by dressing for the occasion. While judging someone by their appearance is superficial, it could also be a player's saving grace. This graph will examine every hat in Among Us and rank them according to how cute, boring, silly, and sus they are. In a social deduction game like Among Us, players usually don't have a lot to go off outside of appearances. This becomes even more true for players who primarily play in public lobbies where voice chat isn't an option. A player could be given the benefit of the doubt immediately depending on how they choose to dress. While dressing cute could help an innocent crewmate stay out of the spotlight, it can also allow the Impostor to prey on the unassuming minds of their vic...

Among Us Theory What Impostors Really Are

Among Us Theory What Impostors Really Are Among Us' dastardly Impostors terrorize crewmates with various forms of killing and sabotage, and fans have theories about their origins and motives. The Impostors that give Among Us its name and central gameplay hook are, by design, a mysterious bunch. On the surface, they're nearly identical to Among Us' colorful crewmates, but Impostors exhibit certain strange and terrifying properties. Due to the game's lack of overt story, it's unclear what exactly Among Us' Impostors are, but fans have a few compelling theories. Unlike normal crewmates, Impostors have the ability to slink through vents, which - unless crewmates are small enough to do this, too, but simply have no need to - suggests they have some kind of shapeshifting ability. This would also explain Impostors' ability to open up a large mouth at the waist of their spacesuits and stab victims with sharp tongues. It's possible Among Us' crewmates also ha...

Why Among Us 2021 Roadmap Hasnt Released Yet

Why Among Us 2021 Roadmap Hasnt Released Yet A 2021 map for Among Us updates is still missing in action, despite a promise early this year - which may be because predictions are impossible. In a January blog post, Among Us creators InnerSloth promised a content roadmap for 2021. The idea was to "be more transparent" about what features were launching for the social deduction game, and in which order. As of mid-May, however, that roadmap for Among Us still doesn't exist, and given both the time of year and the likely explanation, it may not arrive at all. Among Us first launched in June 2018 as a mobile-only title for iOS and Android, only reaching PCs in November that year. It was largely sidelined until early 2020, when Twitch and YouTube streamers helped shoot it to massive popularity. This resulted in a Nintendo Switch port in December, and plans for both Xbox and PlayStation versions by the end of 2021. In terms of original content, the biggest release so far has been...
