Among Us is one of the latest indie games that has blown up after streamers started playing on Twitch and other streaming sites. The player base of the game is now massive and that base has started to demand more changes and updates. Among Us developer InnerSloth canceled their plan for an Among Us sequel and announced that they will support the original game first, and now they are keeping their word.
InnerSloth revealed that they have been nominated for two awards for The Game Awards. They also asked their fans to vote for them. The Game Awards will occur on December 10, so I guess we will know who wins then. The developer also gave us a sneak peek of a new map that will be added to Among Us in the future. The map has a more futuristic vibe than the other three that are currently available, IMO.
The coming update will also bring balancing changes, new features, and bug fixes. You can read about them below.
Balance changes
- Comms sabotage hides task arrows
- Comms red light no longer immediately responds to the correct position
Bug fixes
- Fixed camera flinging on security cams
- Fixed inaccurate admin table on Polus

What’s coming up?
- Accounts. One of our biggest priorities has been to get our account system nailed down and in line with privacy policies. The first focus for accounts will be to get reporting and moderation integrated ASAP. We want our game and communities to be welcoming, respectful places, so this will be a first step in tackling the toxicity and hacking. Thank you for being excellent to each other in the meantime! If you have any issues, you can send reports to support@innersloth.com.
- Languages. We’ve been getting the game localized so Among Us can be enjoyed anywhere! Currently, the plan will be to get these languages in: French, Italian, German, Spanish EU and LA, Dutch, Russian, BR and EU Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Filipino (Bisaya). There will be more to come, but as we said, accounts first!
- Mobile ads. There have been a lot of issues with inappropriate ads on mobile, so until 2021, they’ll be removed. Enjoy! Think of it as a small thank you for all the support you’ve given us. :) Everyone who paid to remove ads, don't worry. We're gonna re-add them and make sure you get something extra for paying. More than anything, we just want to improve everyone’s experience, and not just ignore your concerns.
