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 New Airship Map Is Too Big Says Pokimane

Among Us New Airship Map Is Too Big Says Pokimane

The new Among Us map, Airship, is ultimately "too big, too much" for the social deduction game, says the popular Twitch streamer, Pokimane.

Among Us New Airship Map Is Too Big Says Pokimane

On a recent stream, influential Twitch star Imane "Pokimane" Anys expressed her dislike for Airship, the latest DLC map for Among Us. While she enjoys parts of it, she argued that it's ultimately "too big, too much" for the Innersloth social deduction game, which rose to fame in 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic took hold.

Among Us originally launched in June 2018, but went largely under the radar until it was picked up by various Twitch and YouTube streamers looking for an entertaining broadcast game. Innersloth scrambled to both capitalize on its popularity and keep attention running, churning out a series of new maps and cosmetics. In fact an Among Us 2 was canceled to devote more resources to the current product. Airship, the new Among Us map arrived in March 2021, marking the game's first full year as a success.

To work properly, the new map really needs support for up to 12 players, Pokimane said on a stream caught by Dexerto. The trouble, she elaborated, is that "there are too many places where you can spawn," making it difficult to keep tabs on other people and judge if they're impostors. As with any Among Us map, the core gameplay loop involves completing tasks while keeping an eye on other teammates - people who follow others or take too little time on a task may be killers in disguise.

Pokimane's views are important insofar as they may both reflect and shape what others think. If Among Us falls out of favor with streamers, it could also lose its player base to other multiplayer games. The social deduction genre is relatively niche, however, so audiences might not get similar satisfaction out of games like Fortnite and PUBG. Unlike those, Among Us demands a lot of social interaction that spawns funny incidents. Truer rivals might include Minecraft and Phasmophobia, though the most popular title on Twitch at the start of April 2021 was Grand Theft Auto V. Among Us ranked #13, keeping it ahead of games like Rocket League.

Another recent Among Us addition was a Quickchat option. This makes interactions easier for players who want to avoid sharing their voice, or who simply find regular chat options too cumbersome. This is especially true on mobile devices since players may be in a public space or not have a connected keyboard. An onscreen wheel lets Among Us players quickly select common chat topics like accusations or locations.

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...
