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 Pros & Cons Of The Coming Art Style Revamp

Among Us Pros & Cons Of The Coming Art Style Revamp

A true redesign of Among Us risks alienating longtime players, but if pulled off correctly, it could win the hearts of both newcomers and veterans.

Among Us Pros & Cons Of The Coming Art Style Revamp

One of the most popular elements of Among Us is its visual style - while simple and rough around the edges, it's also immediately recognizable and charming. Its iconic Crewmates have been widely imitated, parodied, and inserted into fan art. As a part of a future update, however, developer InnerSloth is working on revamped artwork, which may carry both positive and negative aspects for fans.

InnerSloth was a small studio when it launched Among Us in 2018, which is part of why the game looks the way it does. Minimalist 2D art is easier to produce while still being endearing, if done with flair. The company didn't have a large budget, so while it succeeded on the flair part, there are literal rough edges in some of the characters and objects, and animation can sometimes be stiff. It's not fully clear what the revamp will entail, although InnerSloth has promised "cleaner lines" along with an "easier animation process" that should streamline things on the backend.

The obvious positive to this change, announced in a recent InnerSloth blog post, is a more refined look. However popular the game might be, it doesn't necessarily look like a global blockbuster. Even regular players might be a bit put off by its graphics if they compare it to other multiplayer options like Apex Legends or Fortnite. Better graphics do mean better appeal if they're executed correctly.

What Downsides Could There Be To Changing Among Us' Art?

Conversely, some players might not want a blockbuster aesthetic. Part of the game's charm is that it is unpolished - it found more success after Twitch and YouTube streamers started playing it years after its debut. An art style revamp might improve it, but this also makes it one step removed from the pleasant indie surprise people came to love. Some players might prefer that InnerSloth focus on adding more maps and tasks, though of course that in itself is changing the nature of the game.

Ultimately, the reaction of the fanbase will depend on just how dramatically the art changes. If InnerSloth only cleans up the existing art, the effect may be underwhelming - yet satisfying to the nostalgia crowd. A true redesign does risk alienating those longtime players, but if pulled off properly, it could win both their hearts and the ones of gamers who previously didn't like the art style of Among Us, making the new update worth the wait.

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...
