Summary
The development team behindAmong Ushas rolled out its 2024 roadmap, promising new features coming to the game throughout the year. Although reaching its height of its popularity in August 2020, publisher/developer Innersloth has continued to add regularAmong Uscontent updates to keep the gameplay fresh.
A deductive reasoning game,Among Ussupports up to 15 players per gameand randomly assigns them different roles. Impostors attempt to kill off Crewmates discreetly, while the other players can collectively win the game either by completing all their tasks or successfully identifying all Impostors and ejecting them from the game.
Possibly the most-anticipated change coming to the game this year will be the addition of more roles for players to fill. While the game originally pitted an Impostor against a group of Crewmates who are trying to determine its identity before it kills them all off, 2021 saw multiple otherroles added toAmong Uson both sides of the playing field, including Shapeshifter, Guardian Angel, Engineer, and Scientist. Innersloth hasn’t divulged what these new roles will be or the special powers they will possess, but it does list them in the announcement as “Coming Soon,” so it’s likely they’ll be the first addition in the roadmap to make their way into the game.
Everything Coming To Among Us in 2024
In addition to the new roles, Innersloth has announced more improvements coming toAmong Us.Multiple upgrades are planned for the game’s lobby, including refined search settings to help players find a game that suits them, “snappy menus” to give hosts better control over the game settings, better visibility of those settings for players looking for a game to join, and music playing as players wait to start a game. Along with these changes,Among Usis set to receive new cosmetics that players can use to customize their avatars, including some unspecified collaborative efforts. PastAmong Uscollab effortshave brought in cosmetics from other popular indie games, such asUndertale,Untitled Goose Game, andCastle Crashers, as well as cartoon cat Pusheen.
One feature not included in the roadmap is the addition of anew map forAmong Us. The game currently supports five different maps for players to wander about in, with the most recently added being The Fungle, which debuted in late October 2023. There have only been two years since the game’s 2018 launch that haven’t seen the addition of a new map – 2020 and 2022 – and while none currently seems to be in the works for 2024, the roadmap states that it still has more surprises coming to the game this year.
