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...

Telltale Games Is Being Revived Batman & Wolf Among Us to Return

Telltale Games Is Being Revived Batman & Wolf Among Us to Return

After unceremoniously closing its doors in 2018, Telltale Games is being revived by LCG Entertainment, with Batman and The Wolf Among Us returning.

Telltale Games Is Being Revived Batman & Wolf Among Us to Return

In September 2018, Telltale Games shut down after being hit with a massive wave of layoffs. However, the company is now being revived, and it's bringing two of its most popular titles with it.

According to Polygon, Telltale's assets were purchased by LCG Entertainment. However, while the company plans to sell some of Telltale's back catalog and produce new content, it's retaining the licensee rights to The Wolf Among Us and Batman, as well as some of its original content. Additionally, LCG could pursue other expired licenses.

Sadly, while some of the previously unfinished Telltale stories could pick up where they left off, the most popular Telltale game, The Walking Dead, has since been purchased by Skybound. Furthermore, the planned Stranger Things game is no longer on the table as those rights reverted back to Netflix.

"This is a viable business that went away due to market conditions and some scale choices [Telltale’s previous management] made," John Ottilie, the new co-head of Telltale said. "I like games that tell stories and I think our industry should have a company that specializes in narrative-driven games."

As for the future of Telltale, Ottilie said, "We will probably keep the concept of episodes but with different pacing. This is a different world, from a media consumption standpoint. We need to look at how people like to entertain themselves. I like the idea of binge watching."

While it remains to be seen when Telltale officially returns, LCG Entertainment plans to offer freelance roles to some of those who were affected by the aforementioned layoffs, with the possibility of full-time roles in the future.

Jon Arvedon is the lead news editor for CBR after beginning as a freelance writer in 2017. Prior to joining the outlet, he built up his portfolio by reviewing comic books for several notable sites, as the heroes of Marvel and DC have always been a passion of his. In fact, his love of superheroes is rivaled only by his love of Star Wars and weightlifting. If you're so inclined, you can follow Jon on Twitter at @JonArvedon.

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...
