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...

Fortnite Finally Admits Impostors Mode Was Inspired By Among Us

Fortnite Finally Admits Impostors Mode Was Inspired By Among Us

In outlining the changes and improvements coming to Fortnite v18.20, Epic Games has finally admitted that Among Us inspired the Impostors Mode.

Fortnite Finally Admits Impostors Mode Was Inspired By Among Us

A rundown of everything featured in v18.20 sees Epic Games finally admit that Innersloth's Among Us did indeed inspire the creation of Fortnite's Impostors Mode. Epic released Impostors Mode for Fortnite back in August, allowing 10 players - two impostors and eight agents - to assume their specified roles while aboard a submarine.

The agents performed assigned tasks, while the two impostors set about sabotaging the submarine and discretely dispatching other players. In true Among Us fashion, agents can host discussions and share information about the turn of events, all in an effort to suss out the on-board saboteurs. It's no surprise, then, that Epic quickly sat on the receiving end of accusations that it blatantly copied the hit social deduction game. To make matters worse, the publisher neglected to credit Innersloth, a decision that confused both fans and Among Us creators. Fortunately, patch notes for the most recent Fortnite update ameliorate the issue. (Kind of.)

A post on Epic Games' official website outlines what players can expect from Fortnite v18.20, which goes live today across all platforms. The new patch includes a few major bug fixes, a refresh for Return Requests, and improvements to Impostors. Upon mentioning the latter, the Epic post specifically credits Innersloth's Among Us as inspiration for the submarine-set game mode in Fortnite. The brief line in question reads as follows: "v18.20 brings improvements to Impostors, the game mode inspired by Among Us from Innersloth!" As Eurogamer notes, however, credit to Innersloth only appears via the blog post and not in the in-game description.

Fortnite Finally Admits Impostors Mode Was Inspired By Among Us

Hopefully, Epic eventually references Innersloth in Fortnite, where most players will actually see the credit being given. The blog post shoutout is nice, of course, but only so many active users keep track of in-game happenings through Epic's website postings.

Fornite doesn't count as the only game to capitalize on Among Us' surge in popularity in 2020. Steam's First Class Trouble constitutes one such experience, dropping players onto a luxury airship. Dread Hunger serves as another, though it shakes up the established Among Us formula by implementing demanding survival mechanics. It's clear social deduction experiences as a gameplay premise will stick around for the foreseeable future.

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...
