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 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...

Every Among Us Kill Animation Ranked By Level Of Violence

Every Among Us Kill Animation Ranked By Level Of Violence Among Us is pretty brutal for such a simple-looking game with cute, rounded characters. Here's each kill animation ranked from least to most violent. Despite the rather cute and simple look of Among Us, the online science fiction game has some pretty horrific kill animations that are often shown when an Impostor is left alone with an unsuspecting Crewmate. This list will go over each one, ranking them from least to most violent. Killing is a natural part of Among Us as the premise states a parasitic shapeshifter Impostor has taken the place of one of the Crewmates in an otherwise productive crew of MIRA scientists, explorers, and researchers. Crewmates try figure out who the Impostor is while trying to stay alive, but fans know that death is an inevitable part of the game. In fact, the absence of one makes it near impossible to find out who the real Impostors are. Currently, there are only four different kill animations, but...

Among Us Map Timeline Theory How The Impostor Attacks Started

Among Us Map Timeline Theory How The Impostor Attacks Started One interesting Among Us fan theory offers an explanation on the origins of the Impostors and provides a timeline for when and where they appear. The online social deduction multiplayer title Among Us is a relatively simple game, but it's recent success has already brought about some interesting and complex fan theories to give more backstory to the space-themed setting. One theory gives a plausible explanation for how the Impostors came to be, incorporating each of the maps for more evidence. There are currently three maps in Among Us: The Skeld, MIRA HQ, and the latest addition, Polus. The developers are in the process of adding a new map, so this theory will only pertain to the ones already available. The Skeld is the primary map that takes place on a cargo spaceship which travels to the other locations. MIRA HQ is a tall building set high in a planet's atmosphere and is the location the Crewmates travel back to a...
