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 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...
