As of 2021, a round can take place on one of four maps: a spaceship called "The Skeld" a headquarters building called "MIRA HQ" a planet base called "Polus" or an airship based on Innersloth's Henry Stickmin series called "The Airship". Up to three players are randomly and secretly chosen to be the Impostor(s) each round. The goal of the Crewmates is to identify and eliminate the Impostors, while completing tasks around the map the goal of the Impostors is to covertly sabotage the mission either by killing the Crewmates before they complete all their tasks or by triggering a disaster that cannot be resolved.Īmong Us is a multiplayer game for four to fifteen players (previously four to ten players), although recommended for at least five. Each player takes on one of two roles-most are Crewmates, but a small number play Impostors-which does not alter their appearance. A separate VR version of the game, Among Us VR, was released for Quest 2, SteamVR, and PlayStation VR, developed by Schell Games.Īmong Us takes place in a space-themed setting where players look like colourful armless cartoon astronauts however, since the release of "The Skeld" spaceship, three other maps have been added in later years: the skyscraper "MIRA HQ", the "Polus" planetary station, and "The Airship" (based on Infiltrating the Airship from the Henry Stickmin series, also developed by Innersloth). While the game was initially released in 2018 to little mainstream attention, it received a massive influx of popularity in 2020 due to many well-known Twitch streamers and YouTubers playing it.
