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 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...
