Among Us
The Future of Among Us
Hey everyone, PuffballsUnited here! It’s been a very exciting time for us the past few months! We’ve absolutely loved seeing everyone enjoying Among Us! Forte has been working hard to get the servers adjusted to deal with the huge influx of players. Thank you so much for bearing with us through these growing pains. Hopefully we can get started on new content soon! Speaking of new content…
Us devs have had several long discussions about what we want to do with the game. When do we stop working on Among Us 1? What content goes into Among Us 2? The main reason we are shooting for a sequel is because the codebase of Among Us 1 is so outdated and not built to support adding so much new content. However, seeing how many people are enjoying Among Us 1 really makes us want to be able to support the game and take it to the next level. We have decided to cancel Among Us 2 and instead put all our focus into improving Among Us 1. All of the content we had planned for Among Us 2 will instead go into Among Us 1. This is probably the more difficult choice because it means going deep into the core code of the game and reworking several parts of it. We have lots of things planned and we’re excited to bring new content to everyone as you continue to enjoy playing!
Here’s some things that are coming on the horizon:
* Servers. Forte is still working very hard to figure out our server issues. We don’t have an ETA but things should hopefully be getting better and better. This is taking up all development time on his end.
* Colorblind support. It’s something we’ve put off for way too long… We plan on adding other identifiers for players as well as certain color focused tasks (Like wires). This should also open the potential for more colors. In the past we couldn’t add more colors because it became too difficult to tell players apart.
* Friends/Account System. This is something we’ve wanted to do for a long time but just haven’t been able to tackle. For the health of the game going forward we’re going to sink our teeth in and figure it out! This one will definitely take some time.
* A new stage! It is still very early and we have only just begun designing the layout. The theme has been settled on though! The next stage in Among Us is going to be a Henry Stickmin themed location!
We have LOTS of other things planned too, we just need to prioritize and organize all our plans. Stay tuned!

Add English UK language pls
ive got an idea (pleaze copy this mesassage and sent it to inersloth since idk how) so how about you create and ded cheat like for example you creted ded chat allready but can you make it so the impostor has a chat where impostors and ded peaple can talk since impostors can gather info of where they been and who dey killed so that they can set a plan or a stategy or just comunicate for fun.(idk also this is not idea from me it was from the meme but it would be REALLY usefull tho)
Do you realize that the dead chat already exists?
but that they can communicate with the impostor too (now the dead chat can only comunicate with other dead peaple)
hold on, PuffballsUnited?????????????????
I would have rather liked a sequel as a better game, but I trust you to make the best move. :)
I want there to be a disguise kit for the imposter where the imposter can disguise as a crew mate. The leader of the room can turn the disguise kit on and off.
i think it might be cool if the imposter could find traps and place them every once in a while?
Hey They made The Henry stick man series
I feel like a lot of people are kinda being a bit overwhelming by saying "add this" but 90% of the things they say need fixing are because people are joining random lobbies, which isnt ideal for how the current game is, so if online matchmaking was a bit more optimized (mainly adding voice chat) I think it would be very beneficial, thats just my opinion, thank you for coming to my ted talk
I also think voice chat isn't a bad idea, but I think it would likely be extremely difficult to implement. If their servers are already having trouble managing the influx of players, voice chat would likely be A LOT of extra strain. (Not to mention the specifics of the implementation, and the fact that randoms with voice chat might actually drive the quality of gameplay down if they're really prone to screaming at each other.)
Personally, I would not be at all disappointed if the devs focused on the core stuff first, and then built from there. They've obviously already got something really fun!
True
the henry stickmin map could be the airship or toppat station, Polis is the wall.
Please release a Mac version!!
yes 🥺
yesss
I have no clue if it’s my internet but when I get into a game I just crash! Oh and btw it’s on mobile it’s fine on PC
Please make Among us 2 version for the Linux operating system in Steam
This exact post said it was being CANCELLED.
:c
About adding more roles and mode into the game. Im still not sure if that's a good idea or not. If they added it, maybe people who always got crewmate would stop leaving the game? But i'll miss the classic game for sure so i hope they make it as optional as possible..
I think adding voice chat with the option to disable it when creating the lobby would be a good idea. So when we are trying to join the game, we could see if that game has voice chat enabled or not (maybe add like voice chat icon in the lobby name?). This is just my thought on the update.
I agree.
Can I ask by default only PC version can have voice chat is it?
Yeah,that mean they can launch the console edition too!
I only ask for one thing , PLEASE add More colors to the characters PLEASE
it would be cool if this new stage was the Toppat clan airship
Also, i would like to see a mini Charles for a new pet!
