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 Developer Shows Off New Voting Screen (& Roasts a Troll)

Among Us Developer Shows Off New Voting Screen (& Roasts a Troll)

Among Us developer InnerSloth flexes the game's new Impostor voting screen, redesigned to handle the game's increased lobby sizes.

Among Us Developer Shows Off New Voting Screen (& Roasts a Troll)

The developers of Among Us, Innersloth, have shown off a comparison of the deduction game's new voting screen in comparison to the old one, all while managing to deliver a stinging clapback on Twitter in the process. The voting screen was overhauled to support the game's new 15-player lobby sizes, one of several major changes coming to the sleeper hit indie game.

Bigger lobbies were added as a part of June 15's Anniversary Update. That release also gave Among Us a "cleaner" art style and a new kill screen menu, reminding players who died between rounds. Because of the potential for confusion among the living, Innersloth also introduced new crewmate colors Rose, Gray, Tan, Coral, and Banana to the game's growing palette. The new art style is partly in service of making characters easier to animate, and will further help when the game transitions to 4K-capable Xbox and PlayStation consoles later in 2021. No solid release date for either port has been set, but Among Us is currently on Nintendo Switch, PC, iOS, and Android.

The updated voting screen, shared via the official Among Us Twitter account, is wider with smaller nametags for each player, enabling three columns of five. True to the original version, an election-style "I Voted" sticker is slapped on each nametag as votes come in. Aesthetically, the screen now resembles an older Samsung smartphone, as hinted by its pill-shaped physical home button, whereas the previous version appears to have been designed more after Apple's iPad. Functionally, though, the two screens are identical.

However, an unexpected moment came when a Twitter user replied with, "What's the point of updating your game if literally nobody plays this." Innersloth answered back with "what's a god to a non-believer," earning over 2,000 likes as of this writing versus the troll's 73, which is quite the ratio for a game that supposedly has no interest behind it.

The Among Us account is one of the more vocal marketing mouthpieces on Twitter, endearing itself through a casual voice and regularly retweeting fan art from around the world. Other companies' Twitter presences are often more stiff, likely because of the risk of bad publicity. Though Among Us' player counts have indeed dropped since it became a viral sensation (according to PlayerCounter figures), but there can still be over 1 million players online simultaneously. It seems clear the game is far from dead, and Innersloth's strong social media presence is likely to thank for that in part.

Beyond Xbox and PlayStation ports, Innersloth is working on yet more feature additions for Among Us, with similarly indefinite release dates. These include a fifth map, achievements, cross-platform account linking, a Hide & Seek mode, and "new roles and ways to play," such as a Sheriff character. Continuing a focus on revenue-generating cosmetics, players will soon be able to buy custom visors for their characters, as well.

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...
