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.

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 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...
