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 Has Been Downloaded More Than 217 Million Times On Mobile

Among Us Has Been Downloaded More Than 217 Million Times On Mobile

The free-to-play mobile version of Among Us has reached an astounding level of success as it has been downloaded 217 million times to date.

Among Us Has Been Downloaded More Than 217 Million Times On Mobile

The mobile version of the hit game Among Us has officially been downloaded over 217 million times. Though the game is two years old, its popularity did not take off until 2020 and the subsequent COVID-19 pandemic that came along with it.

The COVID-19 pandemic has largely been attributed to giving Among Us its current success. With many stuck in their homes due to quarantines, Among Us has provided a method for people who aren't typical gamers to fulfill their social interaction needs in these difficult times. It is similar in execution to the tabletop game Werewolf and has managed to transfer many of the successful social aspects of tabletop gaming to the video game medium. The mobile version of Among Us, which is free, has also been easy on consumer wallets during a time where money can be tight.

Sensor Tower reported the massive download numbers for the mobile version of Among Us along with some other information marking the game's success. In October alone, the mobile version of the game was downloaded over 75 million times. The mobile version of Among Us has also generated over $39 million in revenue despite being free to play. This was largely thanks to player cosmetic purchases over the game's two year run. Among Us has become so successful that indie developer InnerSloth canceled work on a potential sequel in order to maintain and expand its massive hit.

Among Us Has Been Downloaded More Than 217 Million Times On Mobile

The COVID-19 pandemic alone was not enough to catapult Among Us to its current success. The game found a following on Twitch and it recently reached massive levels of exposure thanks to one particular stream. United States Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez played Among Us on Twitch as a way to urge Americans to vote in the 2020 elections and it became one of the largest streams in the site's history. This no doubt broadened the game's already wide publicity that it had built up during the rest of the pandemic.

The circumstances that have surrounded Among Us' rise have felt truly unique. There have been games in recent memory, like Fortnite, that have gone from obscurity to ruling the world seemingly overnight. Among Us, however, reached its current level of popularity not because it was groundbreaking, but because of what it provided during unprecedented worldwide circumstances. It gave people a way to connect in ways that they physically could not. It became more than a game and turned into a medium of social interaction in a way no other video game has ever come close to doing. With the newest console generation just about to launch, the impact of the Among Us shows what can be made even without cutting edge technology or a massive AAA budget.

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...
