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 Role Updates Shapeshifter Lets Impostor Mimic Crewmates

Among Us Role Updates Shapeshifter Lets Impostor Mimic Crewmates

Today Innersloth announced a new Impostor role for Among Us: the Shapeshifter, who can mimic other living crewmembers perfectly for a limited time.

Among Us Role Updates Shapeshifter Lets Impostor Mimic Crewmates

Just in time for Halloween, Among Us is introducing a new role that lets impostors mimic crewmates. This should throw even more chaos into what is already a stressful game. Among Us has already gotten into the spirit of the season with Halloween features including spooky hats and decorated maps, and this is sure to liven things up even more.

Innersloth has been hard at work on the game since its initial launch in 2018. With its explosion in popularity over the past year or so, Among Us continues to capture attention, and it will likely continue to do so as it comes to Playstation and Xbox Gamepass later this year. While some changes, like accessibility features, can seem small, major additions like increasing the lobby size and adding new roles into the game help keep things fresh. Among Us has inspired its fair share of imitators—including the drama with Fortnite’s Impostors Mode, clearly inspired by Among Us—but Innersloth is still working to keep the original game feeling new and exciting.

The company’s latest announcement, on the Innersloth website, concerns a new role known as the shapeshifter. As the name suggests, the Shapeshifter is an Impostor role that can change its appearance to any of the other living crewmembers in the game. The change affects the player’s color, name, and skin choice, so they appear identical to their chosen target for a limited time. However, the change is not instantaneous, and it does leave evidence behind, so sharp-eyed crewmembers may be able to see it happen or otherwise figure out that a Shapeshifter is in their midst. Just when the game was getting easier to play through accessibility features, this new role throws a wrench in things.

💥 THE SHAPESHIFTER 💥 One of the new roles in the next update! - Ability: Impostor can morph into any other living Crewmate - Do it well to frame others and create chaos and confusion hehehehehe ✨ All info: https://t.co/XWIybLiTnd pic.twitter.com/vhcak14iHB

Like the other unique roles in Among Us, the Shapeshifter’s inclusion in each game is customizable. Players can choose how many Shapeshifters are allowed per game, as well as the chance of there being any, or they can choose to disable Shapeshifters altogether. Additionally, the length of time Shapeshifting lasts can be altered, as can whether or not the change leaves physical evidence for others to notice. No release date has been announced as of yet, but the announcement did tease some sort of special event coming up that will offer more information. The roadmap trailer Innersloth posted some months back promised quite a few new roles and maps, so the Shapeshifter may be only part of what lies in store.

Among Us has had its struggles maintaining a large player-base, but it still has it adherents, and the addition of new roles like the Shapeshifter will likely help the game keep the players it does have and draw in new ones. With Among Us' fifth map still on the way, players certainly have more to look forward to in the game’s future.

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...
