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 Downloaded on Epic Games Store 15 Million Times During Giveaway

Among Us Downloaded on Epic Games Store 15 Million Times During Giveaway

During its free week on the Epic Games Store from May 27 to June 3, Among Us was downloaded a whopping 15 million times, according to InnerSloth.

Among Us Downloaded on Epic Games Store 15 Million Times During Giveaway

During its free giveaway period on the Epic Games Store, users claimed Among Us more than 15 million times, developer InnerSloth has revealed. The Epic Games Store kicked off its Mega Sale near the end of May by offering a free game a week for four weeks straight. NBA 2K21 served as the first freebie, followed by the Among Us giveaway, the latter of which lasted from May 27 to June 3. Frostpunk and Remedy's Control closed out the Mega Sale free offerings.

In the past, Epic Games Store giveaways have proven a boon to games both big and small, adding significant player numbers to a wide variety of titles. Football Manager 2020, for instance, experienced an increase of one million users after appearing as an Epic Games Store freebie for only three days in 2020. And the trial between Apple and Epic revealed that some developers and publishers receive a pretty penny for hosting their games in such a manner. According to court documents, Epic paid Unknown Worlds $1.4 million for Subnautica's EGS giveaway; meanwhile, Devolver Digital received $300,000 for Stories Untold.

Among Us spent May 27 through June 3 as a free title for the Epic Games Store's Mega Sale. This relatively brief stint as a free-to-own game evidently worked wonders for the social deduction experience, evidenced by news from developer InnerSloth. A recent social media post from the team noted that Among Us secured a staggering 15-plus million downloads from Epic Games Store users during its time in the giveaway. See InnerSloth's celebratory post in the tweet linked below:

Fun fact! During the free week on @EpicGames (May 27 - June 3)... ✨OVER 15 MILLION COPIES✨ of @AmongUsGame were claimed!! Welcome to the crew and thank you for downloading and playing. We're blown away! 🚀🪐 pic.twitter.com/IF5vwMSxro

These numbers clearly increased Among Us' player count drastically, meaning the hit multiplayer experience has garnered an even wider reach on PC. Undoubtedly, Among Us' popularity will continue to spread once it migrates to PlayStation and Xbox consoles sometime in 2021.

The wildly successful title from InnerSloth isn't only making waves this week for its impressive Epic Games Store showing. Mediatonic recently announced a second Among Us crossover for Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout, which goes live on Friday, July 2. When the new Among Us-themed content arrives, Fall Guys players will have a chance to grab a purple impostor skin, complete with a cracked spacesuit visor and gnarly teeth.

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...
