It is an exciting time for Among Us players. The makers have announced a new map for the game that is all set to arrive on March 31, 2021. Making things even better, players will be entitled to a few free hats along with the update. It is unclear which hats would be given out for free, but the angry eyebrows are confirmed as of now. The news was shared on the game’s Twitter handle. The new update also brings in new abilities for the players to test out. Now, players can choose which room to start in and there is also a basic account system for moderation. This will ensure the safety of everyone who plays the game with a dedicated report button. The makers have also added ladders which should be fun to play around. “This free update will have all new tasks, the ability to pick the room you start in, ladders, a basic account system for moderation and more,” the developer wrote in a blog [https://innersloth.itch.io/among-us/devlog/232933/-march-31-the-airship-releases] post. THE BIG CHANGE FOR AMONG US The developers also acknowledged that they did not expect their game to reach such immense heights of popularity; however, the year 2020 completely changed their perspective. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/among-us-single-player.png] Ironically, the pandemic played a huge role in helping the game out. And soon enough, Among Us was among the most played games, thriving as a multiplayer. “Among Us’ popularity was something no one expected, and quite late into 2020 too. We had already considered the game done and had moved onto something else. And while it may seem odd things took a few months, it’s quite normal in game development, especially for a team of our size.” The devs also mentioned how developing an update isn’t as easy as it sounds. Being a cross-platform title, they need to get things to perfection before launch. Among Us launched back in 2018 with a single map. It has been years since the game introduced a new map. The Airship will be the fourth official map in the game, and it does look exciting. Among Us is available to play for PC, Mobile and Nintendo [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/nintendo/] Switch. It’ll arrive on the Xbox consoles later this year. 

Popular multiplayer Among US is bringing in some free goodies with the big
Airship map update slated for launch this month.

<h2><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-434146" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/among-us-game-e1601565968912-560x315.jpg" alt="" width="560" height="315" />What type of game is Among Us?</h2>
Among Us is a social deduction game heavily inspired by the party game 'Mafia'. Developer Innersloth released the game in 2018, but it only gained popularity in 2020. Streamer Sodapoppin discovered the game first and since then, streamers like PewDiePie, Disguised Toast, Pokimane, Ninja have all played it regularly.

The rules of the game are simple. With up to 10 players in a single game, players can choose whether they want to have 3, 2, or 1 impostor per game based on individual preferences. Impostor/Impostors and crewmates are randomly chosen.

Once the game begins, the crewmates have to finish certain tasks on the map at different locations. The job of the impostors is to kill the crewmates without being suspected. If a dead body is found, both crewmates and impostors can report it. Once done, the players can choose to vote out anyone they suspect or just skip voting.

Another way impostors can win is by sabotaging the reactor or oxygen on the ship. If there are an equal number of impostors and teammates by the end of a voting session, the impostors win. If the crewmates successfully identify the impostors and vote them out, they win. Crewmates can also win if they successfully complete all the tasks before the impostors can do their jobs.

Developer Innerslorth also announced earlier that they were working on an Among Us 2 title. Although, shortly after the original game blew up in popularity, the developers announced that the sequel was canceled for the time being. They wanted to focus all their efforts on making the current game better.

Among Us also allows players to customize their appearance. Players can equip different hats to make their appearance quirky and fun. Additionally, players can also have a mini crewmate as well.

There are different Among Us Mods also available. For example, one mod allows players to have a lobby of 100 players. Another mode allows crewmates to pass through walls, making them look like hackers.

The recent update also made the game better in terms of functionality and promised to add a new map as well.
<h2>Platforms Among Us is available on</h2>
Among Us is currently available on Steam for PC and is also available on iOS and Android. The game also has cross platform play enabled for players to enjoy with their friends on different platforms.

<h2>Among Us 2021: Mods, Gameplay, Updates, System Requirements</h2>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-542466" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210207052524/egs-amongus-innersloth-s6-1200x1600-675403712.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="1200" />

Among Us is an online multiplayer social deduction game developed and published by InnerSloth. The game takes place in a space-themed setting. Players either assume the role of Crewmates or Impostors. While most of them are Crewmates, only a predetermined number are Impostors.
<h2>Among Us Development &amp; Release</h2>
The developers initially intended to release Among Us as a mobile-only local multiplayer game featuring a single map. The game underwent a release on June 15, 2018.  With a simultaneous player count of 30-50 players shortly after release, the game didn't have a massively successful launch.

Although the numbers seemed insignificant, the player base was vocal. The development team didn't give up and continued working on it. They added online multiplayer, new tasks, and customization options. Later on November 16, 2018, InnerSloth launch Among Us on Steam.

Eventually, the game received a second map and then a third, which initially required additional payment. However, in June 2020, the maps were made accessible for free. The map packs are still available for purchase as DLC on all platforms, but those provide access to the skin bundles instead of the maps.

The team kept putting out regular updates for what game, which ultimately resulted in snowballing the game's player base, contributing to a steady increase in player count.
<h2>Rise to popularity</h2>
Despite releasing in 2018, it was not until mid-2020 when Among Us first witnessed a surge of popularity. This was because of the content creators and streamers who began playing the game on their live streaming platforms.

Since July 2020, numerous prominent Twitch streamers and YouTubers, including Sodapoppin, xQc, Pokimane, Shroud, Ninja, PewDiePie, and many others, gradually began spending a lot of time streaming the game. Among Us also provided an avenue for socialization amidst the strict social distancing orders imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The game's popularity continued to skyrocket in the following months. In September 2020, the game exceeded 100 million downloads, with the player count spiraling to 1.5 million concurrent players. Furthermore, in late September, this number peaked at 3.8 million players, which ended up overloading the game's servers.

The game's popularity has inspired many fan arts and hilarious internet memes. In response to the game's popularity, the studio announced a sequel dubbed Among Us 2 in August 2020. However, in September, the team ruled out the sequel due to the popularity the original game had amassed. Instead, they shifted their focus to improving the original game and add more content to it.
<h2>Among Us Gameplay</h2>
The multiplayer game supports 4-10 players, who can play online or via local WiFi, as they prepare their spaceship for departure. However, one must always keep their guard high as one or more random players amongst the Crew are Impostors bent on killing everyone and sabotaging the spaceship.

Originally created as a party game, it's recommended to play this game with friends at a LAN party or online using voice chat. The game also facilitates cross-platform play between Android, iOS, and PC.

Players have customization options like picking a color and hat for their avatar. Other options for game settings include adding more impostors, tasks, and much more. The game also features rich Discord integration for comms, as well as an in-game text chat.
<h5>Crewmates</h5>
Crewmates' objective is to fill up the group taskbar or discover the Impostor. Crewmates can win by completing tasks to prepare the ship or ejecting all Impostors. To undo the Impostor's sabotages, one has to react quickly.

Checking the Admin map and Security cameras are effective ways to keep tabs on other Crewmates. Report any dead bodies immediately to start a discussion of who the suspected Impostor is. Besides that, Call emergency meetings to discuss suspicious behavior—finally, vote to eject suspected Impostors.
<h5>Impostors</h5>
Impostors aim to kill off the entire crew. They will kill crewmates and frame innocent bystanders for their deeds. Impostors can pretend to run tasks to blend in with the crewmates. Moreover, sneaking through the vents is a quick way to navigate the spaceship.

Using sabotages is an effective way to create chaos and divide the crew. Last but not least, Impostors can trap and kill victims in private behind closed doors.
