Animal Crossing player brings Pokemon Stadium to New Horizons Game Freak / NintendoAn insanely creative Animal Crossing player has brought Pokemon Stadium to New Horizons. The dedicated fan transformed his entire island into one giant Pokeball. Ever since its debut in March, New Horizons has sparked the creativity of its community. The latest release in the social simulation franchise introduced players to the ‘terraforming’ tool.

Here’s a video after I planted my roses and put down some paths. So many roses. Definitely over 500 at least. pic.twitter.com/ZRIYalg9RP — robo hero berry (@zapsuit) April 20, 2020 Even though it’s only been out since March, New Horizons has already become one of the most successful releases on the Nintendo Switch.

Animal Crossing player creates “catalog island” to buy every item NintendoAny player of Animal Crossing: New Horizons understands that obtaining every single possible item from Nook’s Cranny is a huge achievement. It takes many hundreds of hours of gameplay to collect every wallpaper, flooring, K.K. Slider song, piece of furniture, item of clothing, villagers posters. But one player has announced the creation of a “Catalog Island” after months of collecting and 3 weeks of setting up. The island offers a place to go and peruse and pick up every single item you desire, all for free. On Twitter, @Jaiofeden is giving players the chance to visit the island by asking users to retweet and follow her account. The Island is meticulously organized. Naturally grouped all together are Flooring and Wallpaper, K.K. Slider Songs, Plants, Beach items, and wall-mounted items. A giant part of the beach is dedicated to Miscellaneous items, placed next to all throwback items. A separate section is also dedicated to villager posters with sub-categories: new villagers, Sanrio, non-playable characters. The other main sections are organized by room or use. “Kitchen Heaven” contains all kitchen and diner items, “Recreational Kingdom” contains all gym and arcade items and all lamps, “Restroom and More” includes instruments, bears and electronics as well as bathroom items, while “Bedroom and Living room Utopia” does what it says on the tin. Updated Catalog Island Map! Hope to do one final update in the future with all Saharah rugs pic.twitter.com/DBCI8eApvS — Catalog Island (@CatalogIsland) July 6, 2020 Jai hopes to do an update in the near future with every single rug from Saharah, who sells mystery rugs, flooring, and wallpaper. Since the island’s opening, Jai has been showered with praise, with one visitor saying “that is the most beautiful, most organized island I’ve ever seen… I already ordered like 60 things” How to get invited Jai invites 4 players at a time and uses more than one method to select those visitors. Jai specifies that in order to be invited you must be a follower. She will often take a selection from people who have retweeted her or commented on a tweet that day. She also specifies that she will not accept accounts with no profile picture and no followers as those profiles cannot be accountable for stealing.

Animal Crossing player goes full Breaking Bad with insane secret lab Nintendo / AMCThe options are truly endless in Animal Crossing: New Horizons with you being able to create an island in your own vision, but one player went the extra mile and created something – well, right out of Breaking Bad. The popular series is built on deep storylines, with a lot being hidden away from the public eye, and one fan of the series has brought that same energy to what appears to be an unlikely setting, all things considered. You walk into houses in Animal Crossing and usually see pretty paintings, maybe even some unique layouts that people have created, but in one particular house in-game all is not what it seems. There might be a whole load of furniture in the home of Reddit user bagelcrisp, but there’s something that not everybody will know about just waiting to be explored. Of course, just like Walter White, they appear to be cooking up something very interesting in a hidden room – and it might well be one of the most creative ideas we’ve seen so far. After moving the bookshelf out from its slot, a black room appears. Right behind it, well, you guessed it… The lab is unveiled in all its glory. “Got myself a little side business apart from selling turnips,” the user said, before explaining what others need to do in order to pull off the same sort of lab design. They added: “I honestly made it on a whim to show my boyfriend lol. I just have so much furniture stored I just put the jankiest furniture and decorations up. As long as you have the science set on a table I’m sure people will get the idea lol.” This isn’t the first crossover design that’s been put together in Animal Crossing and after seeing this one, just like another user said, it’s very much looking a lot like Breaking Bad: New Horizons instead.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons Museum Day guide – Stamp Rally & rewards Nintendo (via Twitter: @triforcemeg)International Museum Day is hitting Animal Crossing: New Horizons in the second half of May, and brings along a whole host of rewards that you’ll definitely want to get your hands on. One of the new aspects of the latest Animal Crossing is that many events aren’t coded into the base game, meaning Nintendo has to push them out with updates – perfect for keeping New Horizons fresh for years to come. Players have already enjoyed Bunny Day, Earth Day, and May Day, and now International Museum Day is almost here. The event isn’t actually a “day” like it would seem – instead, it actually runs from May 18 to the 31st meaning fans don’t need to rush in order to claim all of the prizes. For everything you need to know about the epic celebration, keep on reading. Blathers’ Stamp Rally Upon booting up the game on May 18, Isabelle will tell you that it’s International Museum Day – hooray! Then make your way to Blathers, who will give you your own Stamp Cards for the fish, bugs, and fossil exhibits. Each exhibit section will have its own set of little stamp tables in different areas, which you will need to visit to completely fill out your Card. You’ll be able to collect all of the stamps at once, so it is possible to complete the Day all at once rather than spread across the two weeks. International Museum Day rewards There are only three rewards – one for each of the museum’s fish, bug, and fossil sections. You get one upon completion of each exhibit Stamp Card. All are wall-mounted plaques which can be displayed in your home. It’s worth noting that the event won’t start until May 18 in real life, so time travellers looking to get the jump on the festivities are out of luck as the game needs to sync up with the internet to verify the date. You won’t need a certain amount of donations to participate in the event, though if you’re not caught up on your fish and bugs, check out our guide for May here.

Nintendo responds to rumors surrounding new Animal Crossing: New Horizons villagers NintendoA mysterious house was originally spotted in an official Animal Crossing: New Horizons post, but Nintendo has now responded to the rumors of Wolf Link and Felyne’s highly anticipated return. Update: Nintendo has now confirmed that the mystery Animal Crossing: New Horizons house screenshot, which appeared on the official Nintendo website does not reflect that of a new villager. Instead, the official Japanese website states: “It was found that the screenshot introducing the items of ‘Children’s Day’ reflected a house with an appearance that could not appear in the actual game, so the corresponding screen was replaced.” Sadly, this means Wolf Link and Felyne will not be coming to Animal Crossing: New Horizons just yet. However, with The Legend of Zelda series celebrating its 35th anniversary and Monster Hunter Stories 2 releasing later this year, there could still be hope. For now, though, Animal Crossing fans will need to wait for further updates. Original story: Animal Crossing: New Horizons players think they’ve found a new villager via an official screenshot posted on the Official Nintendo website. The post outlined details regarding the upcoming events and showcased the seasonal items fans can expect to see later in the year. While none of these updates are new to the world of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, eagle-eyed players have noticed that there appears to be a mysterious house in one of the screenshots. While we don’t exactly know who lives inside, that hasn’t stopped folks from speculating on who exactly could live there. Animal Crossing new house The house that has everyone excited features a green door, a small circular window, and a traditional thatched roof. This style of house is not available in the current version of the game, which has led Animal Crossing fans to speculate that a new villager will be coming to New Horizons. Felyne Animal Crossing: New Horizons villager One theory suggests that a Monster Hunter-themed villager will be returning. Felyne first appeared in Happy Home Designer as part of a special Monster Hunter collaboration. The style of the house certainly seems to fit in with the theme of Monster Hunter Rise’s Kamura Village – which is also known for its traditional Japanese buildings. This cute cat also made an appearance in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. In fact, Felyne would move into the player’s town if one of the Monster Hunter Stories amiibo was scanned. Both Monster Hunter Rise and the upcoming Monster Hunter Stories 2 have amiibo, so this does make Felyne a pretty strong candidate for the new villager. Wolf Link Animal Crossing: New Horizons villager Many fans have also speculated that a character from the ever-popular Zelda series could be coming to New Horizons. After all, Wolf Link did appear in Animal Crossing: New Leaf as part of the welcome amiibo update. While the house does look different from Wolf Link’s original home, we could still see the return of Twilight Princess’s cool canine. Zelda Animal Crossing: New Horizons villagers Another interesting thing to note is that it is the 35th anniversary of the Legend of Zelda series this year. While we don’t know what Nintendo has planned, it would make a lot of sense for them to celebrate this with some Zelda-themed villagers. Aside from Wolf Link being the most likely candidate, there are some more recent candidates that could appear in New Horizons. After all, Breath of the Wild is home to plenty of characters like Revali, Mipha, Daruk, Prince Sidon, and Hestu. Not only would these characters make perfect additions to any island, but three of these characters (Revali, Mipha, Daruk) also have their own amiibo, which does make their addition more likely. Whether any or all of these characters will be coming to Animal Crossing: New Horizons remains to be seen, but we hope to see Wolf Link, Felyne, and Zelda-themed villagers in future updates.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons players want frustrating camera issue fix NintendoAnimal Crossing: New Horizons has a blindspot in the game that isn’t readily noticeable until a player has a need to peek over an edge, and the community wants a fix for the camera issue. Peering through every nook and cranny in New Horizons lets players get a better sense of where the hole is that they’re plotting or ledge they could be refining, but that gets a bit murky when their camera tilt hits its limit. This makes it nearly impossible to see what lies over the hill or could be waiting around the river bend, and the Animal Crossing community want the developers at Nintendo to take a closer look at the problem to come up with a fix. Adding to players’ frustrations is that, technically, there is a way to look right down onto your villager, and in doing so, getting the best view of what’s over the hump or cliff. “Hey, here’s an idea,” user ‘TheWindCriedDeath’ said. “Let me use this camera angle whenever I want, not just when I’m in a specific situation when you think I need it.” The game doesn’t give players a standard command to take advantage of with their joysticks; instead, you have to be in certain positions around specific objects to make use of the angle, or bring up your smartphone/inventory to peak over. While these are tedious workarounds for the problem, it’s not an ideal method to use when you’re performing one of the game’s main functions; editing your island landscape. “Terraforming is grid-based,” TheWindCriedDeath explained. “So I need to be able to see exactly where I’m aiming, and that’s a pain in the a** looking from an angle along a rounded surface.” It was at this point when the community started to appreciate the in-house camera movement in New Horizons that give you more freedom to look around. Though that could also use improvements, the game already comes equipped with features that could, in theory, be ported over to the overall structure of the game. The developers are going to be supporting Animal Crossing: New Horizons through the seasons with content updates, and it’ll be interesting to see if Nintendo works to give players more freedom with the game’s camera.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons update lets you swim in the ocean NintendoIt’s been rumored for months, but Nintendo has finally made it official. As of July 7, Animal Crossing: New Horizons players will be able to dive and swim in the ocean. New Horizons is the latest title in the long-running Animal Crossing franchise. As the game continues to operate in real-time, the island’s wildlife changes each month to sync with the seasons. This time, the new update also provides new characters and the ability to cool off in the sea. Animal Crossing: New Horizons officially announced on Thursday, June 25 the arrival of “Wave 1”, an update to the game that allows players to don a wetsuit and dive into the ocean, or go swimming and collect new creatures. Animal Crossing Wave 1 update With “Wave 1” players will be able to collect new sea creatures, which can be donated to Blathers at the museum or sold at Nook’s Cranny, by swimming in the sea on their island. New sea creatures include sea stars, sea anemones, spotted garden eels, and scallops. The update also brings new characters. Pascal, an otter, will be making an appearance come August. Pascal is a well-known special character within the Animal Crossing universe and has made regular appearances in Wild World, City Folk, and New Leaf. [Announcement] Cool off this summer by diving into the #AnimalCrossing: New Horizons free Summer Update – Wave 1, arriving 7/3! Put on your wet suit to dive & swim in the ocean, and even meet new characters! Stay tuned for info on Wave 2, planned for release in early August. pic.twitter.com/cYd86R7g6D— Isabelle (@animalcrossing) June 25, 2020 He appears in the sea and will ask you to give him a scallop, something Pascal has done in every Animal Crossing game. In return, Pascal will give you new DIY recipes with a mermaid theme. Gulliver will still pay visits to your island in the new update, but while he was previously dressed as a sailor, he will now come dressed as a pirate. In previous Animal Crossing games, Gulliver has dressed up as an astronaut or an alien. It looks as though the encounter with Gulliver in ‘Wave 1’ still involves waking him up after he washes up on the beach. Nintendo has also teased that “Wave 2”, another game update, will be coming soon after in early August.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons visitor guide – Celeste, Redd, Label, more NintendoLook no further if you’re wondering when Celeste or Redd will next visit your town in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. This guide covers everything about the game’s NPC visitors. The NPCs in New Horizons each add something special to your island experience. To name a few, Daisy Mae, K.K. Slider, and Leif ddon’talways appear. Knowing when to expect them, like Celeste for her coveted DIY recipes, can be quite helpful. Some characters appear more often than others, and it can feel like some rarely show up at all. There is actually a way to calculate who could be coming to your island when, though, and we’ve got all the details down below. New Horizons villager guide Reddit user ‘8BitBish’ is the genius behind understanding how the visitor system works, as they put together a handy graphic that details just how often and who will be coming on what days. Saharah, the mysterious wallpaper and flooring selling camel, is due to appear in your town weekly without fail, and so is Leif, and the shoe merchant Kicks. K.K. performs his songs on a Saturday evening, and Daisy Mae brings her turnips every Sunday morning. The way Redd, Label, Gulliver, C.J., and Flick work are a little bit different. Two of the five NPCs can be found on your island each week, and the three that didn’t show will have priority the next. As for Wisp the ghost and Celeste, they only arrive at night – the former showing up randomly after 8PM, and the star-gazing owl making an appearance when there’s shooting stars and meteor showers in the sky.

How to get Iron Nuggets fast in Animal Crossing: New Horizons NintendoAnimal Crossing: New Horizons allows players to craft many new items using Iron Nuggets for your island. If you need to find Iron Nuggets fast, here is how you can get them. One of the most sought-after items in New Horizons is Iron Nuggets as they allow you to craft various items such as a shovel or a fishing rod which can then be used to catch a variety of fish. So, here’s everything you need to know about how to get Iron Nuggets in the game. Where to find Iron Nuggets in Animal Crossing New Horizons? The only way to find Iron Nuggets in New Horizons is to hit rocks with a shovel or an axe. These are the small-ish silver rocks, not the big dark grey rocks that you’ll find around the coast. Every hit will spawn one single crafting material at random, and it’s certainly not guaranteed that they’ll be Iron Nuggets, so you’ll want to hit as many rocks as you can for maximum gathering potential. The following materials can appear when you hit a rock: Stone – Clay – Iron Nuggets – Gold Nuggets – Money – You can get a total of eight materials from a rock, and each rock resets once every calendar day. You have a limited time to get all eight hits in before the rock stops giving out materials, so you’ll have to be fast. As your character will bounce away from the rock every time you hit it, the best way to maximize your materials is to dig holes around yourself with a shovel to keep you in place and stop you from moving. What’s the fastest way to get Iron Nuggets in Animal Crossing? The fastest way to get Iron Nuggets in Animal Crossing is by farming them and here is how you can do it: Purchase a Nook Miles ticket from the Nook Stop terminal for 2,000 Miles. – Visit the airport on your island. – Use your Nook Miles ticket to visit a deserted island. – Search for rocks and hit them with your shovel or ax. – Collect any Iron Nuggets that pop out of the rocks. – Rinse and repeat! – You can purchase as many Nook Miles Tickets as you like, and there’s no limit on how many deserted islands you can visit in a single day. As long as you’ve got enough Nook Miles saved up, you can farm as many Iron Nuggets as you need using this method. What are Iron Nuggets used for in Animal Crossing?

Now, new rumors and leaks have alluded towards a loveable character from previous Animal Crossing games returning in New Horizons during a future update.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons cherry blossom guide – recipes & crafting Nintendo (via Twitter: @triforcemeg)April is here, which means it’s cherry blossom season in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. This comes with a new array of crafting recipes for limited-time furniture, clothing, and more. Here’s everything you need to know on how to get them. Cherry blossom season is probably the prettiest time of year in the Animal Crossing series, as certain trees turn their leaves into sakura flowers – specifically hardwood ones in New Horizons. In Japan, sakura season is usually in the start of April for major cities such as Tokyo, and the game is no different. Running from April 1 through 10, the beautiful flowers transform islands into a pink paradise. That’s not all, though, as players can use their petals to craft some gorgeous, limited-time items. How to craft cherry blossom items in New Horizons Firstly, you’ll need to learn recipes before you can even start crafting the cute items the event has to offer. They can only be found by shooting balloons down with a slingshot, and even then the spawn rate for presents including a recipe seems to be uncommon, so it might take some time. While on the lookout for the balloons, you’ll no doubt notice rogue flower petals floating around your island. You might be tempted to ignore them, but you’ll actually need to catch them with your net as though they were a flying bug in order to start crafting the sakura-themed items. Be careful, though – if you miss your shot, the petal will disappear and you’ll have to start your search for another one all over again. Once you’ve got enough petals to make a recipe after learning it, head to your crafting table to make the item. There are 14 different items to collect, so make sure you’re well-stocked on slingshots so you have a backup if yours breaks. The full list of cherry blossom items and the materials needed to craft each piece can be found below: Cherry-blossom-trees wall – 10x petals, 5x hardwood Cherry-blossom flooring – 10x petals, 20x weeds Sakura-wood wall – 5x petals, 10x wood Sakura-wood flooring – 5x petals, 10x wood Cherry-blossom-petal pile – 5x petals Cherry-blossom bonsai – 6x petals, 2x hardwood, 3x weeds, 3x stone Cherry-blossom branches – 8x petals, 4x tree branch, 5x clay Cherry-blossom pond stone – 10x stone, 3x petals Blossom-viewing lantern – 6x petals, 4x hardwood Outdoor picnic set – 10x petals Cherry-blossom wand – 3x petals, 3x star fragments Cherry-blossom clock – 5x petals, 1x iron nugget Cherry-blossom umbrella – 7x petals Cherry-blossom pochette – 6x petals Alongside the season, the Bunny Day event is also running from April 1 to 12 in celebration of Easter, giving players a lot to do at the start of the month.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons enters the world of anime with new manga Viz Media / TM & © 2021 Nintendo.Animal Crossing: New Horizons is jumping headfirst into the world of anime with a new manga. Called “Deserted Island Diary,” the graphic novel focuses on villagers as they navigate island life. New Horizons took the world by storm when it was released in 2020, becoming a way to forget about reality for many during the height of the global health crisis. Escaping to a deserted island where you can live out your tropical dreams… Bliss. Now, there’s a new perspective on the series with an upcoming manga. It follows four islanders as they start their new lives in paradise, and also features fan-favorite characters like Tom Nook and Blathers. Animal Crossing: New Horizons manga Published by Viz Media and written by KOKONASU RUMBA, the graphic novel centers around characters Coroyuki, Himepoyo, Benben, and Guchan as they participate in classic New Horizons life, doing all the tasks players do on a daily basis such as collecting Bells, donating to the museum, and more. It also has popular animal villagers too, like Raymond, Dom, Timmy, and Tommy, and the Able Sisters, who interact with the humans in what looks to be some hilarious storylines. The manga releases on September 14 and can be purchased at all major book retailers. This isn’t the first time Animal Crossing has been brought to other mediums like this, but it is a first for the West. In 2006, a movie – titled “Dōbutsu no Mori” – was released in Japan, with a very similar style to “Deserted Island Diary.” Sadly, it was never released in English, but you can find some pretty convincing fan dubs on YouTube if you’re interested in watching it.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons Feng Shui – how to decorate, color zones NintendoApplying Feng Shui in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a clever strategy to secure top Happy Home Academy scores regularly. Here are the best Feng Shui ideas for ACNH. The concept of Feng Shui in New Horizons, inspired by ancient Chinese art, plays a pivotal role in creating a harmonious living space. Though not explicitly mentioned, this hidden game mechanic significantly influences your weekly Happy Home Academy rankings. It can be somewhat difficult to work the proper techniques into an attractive room design, but it’s necessary if you want to create the type of home that consistently nets you a considerable amount of points. If you’re looking for a way to bag the Happy Home Academy bonuses, you’ll have to successfully implement a simplified version of Feng Shui in your home. Here’s how you can take the time to do that properly. What is Feng Shui in Animal Crossing: New Horizons? Feng Shui is a traditional Chinese practice used in a bid to help individuals achieve harmony with their surroundings by way of placing furniture according to the cardinal directions. These include north, south, east, and west. The idea is to create a balance between the directions in a way that promotes zen. It just takes some doing in both the real world and in-game. Animal Crossing: New Horizons isn’t the first game to utilize this system, based on real-world practice, as it’s been seen throughout Happy Home Academy rankings across the series. The better you are at placing items in your home according to the fundamentals, the better scores you can expect to see. How to achieve Feng Shui in Animal Crossing: New Horizons Animal Crossing doesn’t get too complicated when it comes to Feng Shui requirements. It only uses south, east, and west out of the four cardinal directions as well as three primary colors to worry about: red, yellow, and green. Your home has three potential zones, as seen in the graphic above. The zones are essentially two sets of tiles along the eastern, west, and southern walls. You must place the correct type of item with the right color in the corresponding zone to earn the Happy Home Academy bonus. The colors that correspond to each zone are as follows: Color: Green Direction: South – Color: Red Direction: East – Color: Yellow Direction: West – You’d need to place a yellow item to the left of your room, a green item to the front, and a red item to the right according to the grid. Be careful not to exceed the tiles allotted for each zone, or you won’t receive as large of a bonus. How to maximize Feng Shui placement Though you need to be careful about which decorative items you place in each zone, you only need to concern yourself with one correctly-colored item in each area. This way, you can customize a room that you enjoy with your own personal style without making it a mix of arbitrarily-colored items that don’t necessarily match. You can’t achieve Feng Shui by using colored wallpaper or flooring, and you may only use furniture items to do so. However, wall-mounted furniture like wreaths, cameras, and even insect models can count toward color bonuses. They shouldn’t take up much room, and you can put whatever other decorations you enjoy in the home while still fulfilling Happy Home Academy requirements.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons gift guide for villagers Nintendo (via Twitter: @triforcemeg)Building strong relationships with your Animal Crossing: New Horizons villagers involves gifting them thoughtfully. Our ACNH gift guide is here to assist you in choosing the best presents in the game. Animal Crossing: New Horizons allows players to meet hundreds of villagers, each with their own unique personality. If you want to befriend these villagers in the game, the best approach is to give them presents. Finding the right gifts for villagers in Animal Crossing can be challenging, particularly if you’re unsure about their preferences. Each villager has a set of items that they will be overjoyed to receive in the game, scoring you points to raise your friendship as a result. So, here’s a comprehensive guide that will help you choose the right gift for the villagers. Contents Animal Crossing gift tips: points system – Animal Crossing clothing types – Animal Crossing Gift Guide: Best gifts for villagers – Animal Crossing gift tips: points system Before we get started with the Animal Crossing gift guide, there is actually a point system when it comes to friendship in the game. Each character starts with 25 points automatically, and will eventually ask to move when that level hits zero. If you want to maintain a good relationship with your favorites, you need to make sure that never happens – and that’s where gifting plays a part. Here’s how the point system breaks down: Furniture: 3 points – Favorite Clothing Style: 2 points – Garbage: -2 points – Umbrellas: 2 points (non-frog villagers only, they get 1 point) – Flowers, fish, and insects: 2 points – Tools and music: 2 points – Wrapped gift: 1 point – Animal Crossing clothing types Giving them furniture that costs over 10,000 Bells is a surefire way of raising the stat, and you’ll earn an additional point if you wrap the gift. The same can’t be said for other items like clothing, though – this is where you need to be a bit more selective in what you hand out, with each villager preferring one of the available types: Active: Sporty stuff like the sports cap, ski goggles, ladder shades, and wrestler uniform. – Colorful: Multicolored attire like the egg party dress, flashy cardigan, and pharaoh’s outfit. – Cool: Hip-themed clothing such as the collarless shirt, mage’s hat, and meme shirt. – Cute: Charming pieces like the heart shades, flower sweater, zen hair clip, and dolly shirt work wonders. – Elegant: Fancy-looking apparel such as the tiara, butterfly shades, and tailcoat. – Gorgeous: Beautiful things, for example, the Labelle sunglasses, gown coat, and flashy hairpin. – Simple: Plain attire like the Oval Glasses, Straw Hat, and Tee Dress. – You can’t give villagers gifts until you’ve raised their friendship level, either, and you can only do so once per day. So make sure you talk to them as much as you can to lay the foundations for a blossoming connection. Each character also likes specific colors, so you’ll need to make sure you match those up to the style.

One of the primary activities in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is fishing. To avoid repetitive catches, it’s helpful to know the spawn rates of different fish in the game.\n\nAs a staple activity in New Horizons, fishing is one of the first things you’ll engage in. Being aware of the spawn rates for each fish can make your fishing adventures more varied and rewarding.\n\nFish can be caught in the sea, in a pond, off the edge of a pier, and in other spots, but it can become quite repetitive if you’re looking for a different catch of the day. Obviously, catching fish means you can earn plenty of Bells, but you could be waiting for months to see something other than a Black Bass. \n\nContents\n\n \tWhen can you catch fish in Animal Crossing\n \tAnimal Crossing fishing spawns guide\n \tAnimal Crossing fishing shadows guide\n\n Fish can be used for Bells or to fill out the Museum.\nWhen can you catch fish in Animal Crossing\nFor fishing, there are some key decisions that you have to make early on in Animal Crossing. Depending on whether your island is situated in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere will change your spawn rates.\n\nThis is because islands in the Northern Hemisphere work on a different timeline than Southern. Summer in the north is Winter in the south, for example. Don’t fret, however, because we’ve broken down the differences.\n\n \tSpring: Northern (March, April, May) Southern (September, October, November)\n \tSummer: Northern (June, July, August) Southern (December, January, February)\n \tAutumn: Northern (September, October, November ) Southern (March, April, May)\n \tWinter: Northern (December, January, February) Southern (June, July, August)\n\nAnimal Crossing fishing spawns guide\nEven though things are slightly different when it comes to the time of year for things to spawn, the amount of Bells you’ll get for selling them to Nook’s Cranny stays the same. This is also the case for the time of day for their potential spawns. Here’s a full list of all the fishing spawn locations in the Animal Crossing New Horizons. \n\n\n\nFish\nValue\nLocation\nTime\nShadow Type\nMonth (Hemisphere)\n\n\n\n\nAnchovy\n200\nSea\n4 am – 9

water. Smaller fish will have smaller shadows while bigger fish might even show their fins above the surface rather than just having a shadow.\n\n Bigger fish can be seen by the bigger shadows.\n\nNow, if you’ve already set up your island to be in the Northern Hemisphere and you don’t want to time skip in order to get some fish that won’t appear until later in the year, you can travel to a Southern Hemisphere island – provided you know a friend who has one.\n\nIf you catch a fish on an island in a different hemisphere, it will stay in your pockets while you travel back to your own island. This is ideal for filling up your museum or getting a huge number of Bells.\nThat’s everything you need to know about fishes in Animal Crossing New Horizons!

Animal Crossing: New Horizons April update reveals new visitors and more NintendoNintendo has revealed the next set of updates coming to Animal Crossing: New Horizons between April and June – and it appears as if the previous leaks were actually pretty spot on. After years of waiting, Animal Crossing fans finally got their chance to play a new release in the form of New Horizons. Players have their lives transformed in New Horizons, as they head to a deserted island with the quest of building a thriving community – with a little help from Tom Nook and Nook Inc. With the game being based on real-world time – provided you don’t time skip, of course – events and changes can be pretty gradual, incorporating live events like birthdays, special events, and much more. Though, after leaks suggested that Nintendo was working on a new update, they’ve officially revealed what is coming next. The next update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons will begin starting April 23, as more island visitors will start popping up. These will be in the form of Leif and her Garden Shop as well as Jolly Redd’s Treasure Trawler – where you can buy special art and furniture. Also starting on April 23, and running until May 4 will be the Nature Day event where you will be able to earn extra Nook Miles for special activities. You’ll also be able to use a May Day Ticket to head on a May Day Tour of a special island starting from May 1 to May 7. Starting on May 18 until May 31, Blather’s Museum will celebrate International Museum Day by handing out rewards through a ‘Stamp Rally.’ Once May comes to an end, Wedding Season will begin on your island for the whole of June. You’ll be able to find special island visitors holding to celebrate their wedding or anniversary – so be sure to take a photo of them. The previous leaks suggested that there would also be a Cafe and Seafood diving coming, though, they don’t appear to have made it into this update. We’ll just have to wait and see if they come further down the line or Nintendo has something else in store. Though, players will be able to enjoy the free April update regardless.

Animal Crossing New Horizons Redd art guide: Real vs fake paintings & statues NintendoDetermining the authenticity of Redd’s artworks in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is crucial to avoid being duped. Our guide will help you distinguish the real art pieces from the fakes in the game. Beware of the shady dealings in the world of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Jolly Redd is notorious for selling art on his boat, but not all of it is authentic. It’s up to you to identify the real masterpieces. This traveling merchant will visit the tiny northern beach of your island on random days, offering up four pieces of art for sale. Some are genuine and can be donated to the museum, while others will be fake (and are essentially useless). Because of Redd’s trickery, it’s really important to double-check every piece of art before you purchase it from him. We’ve put together an ACNH art guide to help you spot the real from the fake and avoid ending up with a useless forgery. Contents How to spot fake art in Animal Crossing New Horizons – Differences between real and fake paintings – Differences between real and fake statues – Where to find Redd – How to spot fake art in Animal Crossing New Horizons Every piece of art in ACNH is based on a famous painting or statue, so if you know what the genuine work looks like, you should – in theory – be able to spot a fake piece of art. The differences between real and fake pieces of art are often very small, though, so it’s easy to be fooled. To make matters worse, some pieces of art have multiple fake versions, while some don’t have any. We’ve listed all of the art you can find in Animal Crossing New Horizons below, including details of how to spot the difference between real and fake pieces. Animal Crossing New Horizons art guide: Real vs fake paintings Here are all of the paintings in Animal Crossing New Horizons alongside the differences between real and fake versions (if there are no details, there are no fake versions): Ensure to take extra care when examining the Wild Paintings for a fake, as these, in particular, are quite difficult to distinguish between. Despite the differences being simple, there are two halves and the colors are inverted for each one. Double-check the table above before buying them. As we mentioned before, some of these paintings have multiple fake versions, but they will always have the differences listed above – and sometimes extra differences that make them even easier to spot. ACNH art guide: Real vs fake statues Here are all of the statues in Animal Crossing New Horizons alongside the differences between real and fake versions (if there are no details, there are no fake versions): The most difficult fake to spot is probably the Rock-Head statue, as the difference between the real one’s neutral mouth and the fake one’s smiling mouth is very small. Make sure you examine it well. The Valiant statue is also quite tricky. Make sure you’re thinking from the woman’s perspective when examining which leg is stepping forwards. Where to find Redd in Animal Crossing New Horizons Before you’re able to get Jolly Redd to appear on your island, you’ll first need to ensure that you’ve completed a few prerequisites: Make 60 donations of fossils, fish, or bugs to the museum then speak to Blathers, who will bring up the prospect of displaying art at the museum. – The next day, look for Redd roaming your island. He’ll offer you a painting for 498,000 Bells, but after you decline he’ll reduce the price to 4,980 Bells. Donate this piece of art to the museum, and it will close for renovation. – Once the museum reopens, Redd will start visiting your island on random days. You can find his boat at the tiny beach on the north of your island, which will require island terraforming abilities or a classic ladder to reach. – Every time Jolly Redd visits your island, you’ll be able to purchase one painting or statue only, and it will be delivered to you via mail the following day, so make sure you choose wisely – and avoid those fakes. That’s everything you need to know about determining the authenticity of Redd’s artworks in Animal Crossing New Horizons!

Animal Crossing: New Horizons avatars added on Switch NintendoA new Nintendo Switch update has finally added Animal Crossing profile icons, as well as a new option allowing players to remap their button layout. New Horizons is definitely one of the hottest games so far in 2020, and Nintendo seems to know when they’ve got a hit on their hands. In another step towards letting Animal Crossing fans customize their Switch like they would their house, Nintendo has added several new Nintendo avatars featuring characters from the game. The new avatars feature the OG Tom Nook, his sons Timmy and Tommy, the immortal Isabelle, the dedicated pilot Wilbur, CJ the beaver fish vendor, and Flick, the red rock lizard who’s also a bug connoisseur. Tom Nook and his kin are approaching Legend of Zelda territory with the number of player icons they have available, but Animal Crossing has definitely proven to be one of Nintendo’s flagship franchises, so they probably deserve a little recognition. There was another update worth noting in the patch, and it’s one that’s a big quality of life upgrade for anyone who owns a Switch, including Animal Crossing fans – the option to remap buttons. Controller button remap options from Nintendo Switch FW 10.0.0 pic.twitter.com/kmpBNkH749 — Wario64 (@Wario64) April 14, 2020 Controller remapping basically allows players to switch around the button functions however they see fit, and not just in certain games, but for the entire system interface. Drastically changing your layout might not be a good idea for those who just picked the system up, but fans who know the Switch controls by heart will definitely be able to use this to their advantage. For example, if you need to produce mass amounts of fishing bait, you might think about switching A and one of the trigger buttons, to reduce the strain on your fingers from confirming that yes, you do want to continue crafting. How much of an impact a button change would have on your crafting output remains to be seen, but at this point, players will probably try anything they can to simplify the process.

Animal Crossing flower guide: How to breed hybrid flowers in New Horizons NintendoGrowing a variety of flowers, including unique hybrid blooms, is a highlight in Animal Crossing New Horizons, and this guide shows how to cultivate these rare hybrids in the game. Since its return and Nintendo Switch debut in 2020, Animal Crossing New Horizons has continued the cozy franchise tradition, with flowers playing a significant role in the game’s life simulation aspects. While flowers can certainly make your island look more appealing, you can breed them in the game to get rare hybrid creations that will stand out due to their unique colorings. Hybrid flowers can’t be purchased in a shop or simply found, so if you want to fill your island paradise with them, you’ll need to know how to breed standard flowers. Here’s a full guide to breeding flowers in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Contents Breeding flowers in Animal Crossing New Horizons – How long does it take for flowers to breed in Animal Crossing – How to get hybrid flowers – Hybrid flowers list – How to get gold roses – Breeding flowers in Animal Crossing New Horizons Flowers are a simple yet essential element of any Animal Crossing game experience. Planting them can make your island look more attractive, and can also help you increase your island’s star level. When you get a ladder in New Horizons, you’ll be able to climb the cliffs on your island and discover that you have a specific type of wildflower growing on it. This can be any of the following eight breeds: Cosmos – Hyacinths – Lilies – Mums – Pansies – Tulips – Roses – Windflowers – You can get other breeds of flowers by picking them from your friends’ islands and replanting them on your own island, or by purchasing seeds from Timmy in Residential Services and later from Nook’s Cranny. Growing new flowers is as simple as planting seeds and making sure you water them every day until they’re fully grown. You can use a watering can for this, but if it’s recently rained, you won’t even need to do that. How long does it take for flowers to breed in Animal Crossing Flowers grow in four stages over four days, going from sprout, to stem, to budding, to flowering. It is important to remember that a flower will only attempt to breed while in the budding or flowering stage which means that it can take 5-10 days for a flower to breed. However, it is important to remember that an actual number is not available meaning that the days you have to wait for your flower to breed may vary especially depending on the kind of flowers you want to breed. How to get hybrid flowers in Animal Crossing New Horizons If you want to decorate your island with some more exciting flowers than those available as standard, you can utilize the flower breeding method in Animal Crossing to get your hands on some unique hybrid flowers. The easiest way to do this is to plant your parent flowers diagonally in a checkerboard pattern. Doing it this way, as opposed to planting them all in a row, provides optimal space for new hybrid flowers to grow. – Make sure your flowers are watered every day, either with a watering can or by the rain, and hybrid flowers will eventually grow in the empty spaces. – Once grown, you can dig them up and replant them elsewhere. – Here’s how to grow hybrid flowers in Animal Crossing: Get seeds of your two chosen parent flowers, making sure they’re the same breed. – Plant them near each other in a diagonal checkerboard pattern. – Water them every day. You can skip this step if it’s raining. – Once the parents are fully grown, hybrid flowers should begin to grow! – We’d also recommend placing fencing around your flower patches, as that will stop you (or friends) from accidentally running through them and ruining your hard work. Fences also make your island look nicer!

Animal Crossing: New Horizons Bunny Day guide – eggs, recipes, more NintendoAnimal Crossing’s Easter celebration is well underway in New Horizons as of April 1, with Zipper spearheading the Bunny Day event. Here’s everything you need to know about it. For the first time in a mainline entry in the series, holiday events span over several days rather than just one. For Easter, Zipper T. Bunny has scattered multiple types of eggs and crafting recipes all around your island, and has tasked you to search for them and make themed furniture and items before April 12. It’s not as cut and dry as just finding them though – particular eggs require different methods, and you’ll need to seek out the recipes in order to craft certain items. Luckily for you, we’ve got everything you need to know on how to complete his Bunny Day challenge. Where to find eggs There isn’t just one set type – there’s actually six kinds you’ll have to discover if you want to craft all the DIYs: Water, Earth, Leaf, Wood, Stone, and Sky. They can be found by: Water – Using your rod to fish in the river and the ocean Earth – Digging at star-shaped holes with your shovel Leaf – Shaking trees Wood – Chopping trees with your axe Stone – Hitting rocks with your shovel Sky – Using your slingshot to pop present balloons out of the sky When fishing, the eggs will be medium-sized shapes in the water, so look out for those to maximize your chances of finding them. As for chopping trees, make sure you use a flimsy axe to get three chops without cutting the tree down, and when smashing rocks, dig three holes behind you in order to get all eight hits. How to get crafting recipes Like regular recipes, the Easter ones are random – though Zipper will give you the Bunny Day Bed when you first talk to him, and the Arch on April 12. You can find them by either shooting down striped balloons with your slingshot, picking up striped bottles from the beach, or talking to your fellow villagers. You’ll also automatically learn some clothing recipes like the Earth-Egg Outfit and the Leaf-Egg Shell after you’ve gathered a certain number of each egg type, so keep collecting them until your character says they’ve imagined a new way to use them. After you’ve crafted everything, the rabbit will gift you with the recipe for the Wobbling Zipper Toy. If you show him this once you’ve made it, he’ll give you the one for the Bunny Day Wand. Every crafting recipe as well as what eggs you need to make the items can be found below: Bunny Day Bed – 1x Stone, 1x Earth, 1x Leaf, 1x Wood, 1x Sky, 1x Water Wall Clock – 3x Sky Lamp – 4x Wood Vanity – 4x Leaf Glowy Garland – 1x Earth, 1x Stone, 1x Leaf, 1x Wood, 1x Sky, 1x Water Stool – 3x Water Wardrobe – 4x Stone Wreath – 1x Stone, 1x Earth, 1x Leaf, 1x Wood, 1x Sky, 1x Water Table – 4x Earth Bag – 1x Stone, 1x Earth, 1x Leaf, 1x Wood, 1x Sky, 1x Water Crown – 1x Stone, 1x Earth, 1x Leaf, 1x Wood, 1x Sky, 1x Water Wallpaper – 2x Stone, 2x Earth, 2x Leaf, 2x Wood, 2x Sky, 2x Water Flooring – 2x Stone, 2x Earth, 2x Leaf, 2x Wood, 2x Sky, 2x Water Fence – 1x Stone, 1x Earth, 1x Leaf, 1x Wood, 1x Sky, 1x Water Merry Balloons – 1x Earth, 1x Leaf, 1x Sky Festive Balloons – 1x Stone, 1x Wood, 1x Water Rug – 1x Stone, 1x Earth, 1x Leaf, 1x Wood, 1x Sky, 1x Water Arch – 2x Stone, 2x Earth, 2x Leaf, 2x Wood, 2x Sky, 2x Water Earth-Egg Shell – 2x Earth Earth-Egg Outfit – 3x Earth Earth-Egg Shoes – 2x Earth Stone-Egg Shell – 2x Stone Stone-Egg Outfit – 3x Stone Stone-Egg Shoes – 2x Stone Leaf-Egg Shell – 2x Leaf Leaf-Egg Outfit – 3x Leaf Leaf-Egg Shoes – 2x Leaf Wood-Egg Shell – 2x Wood Wood-Egg Outfit – 3x Wood Wood-Egg Shoes – 2x Wood Sky-Egg Shell – 2x Sky Sky-Egg Outfit – 3x Sky Sky-Egg Shoes – 2x Sky Water-Egg Shell – 2x Water Water-Egg Outfit – 3x Water Water-Egg Shoes – 2x Water Party Hat – 2x Stone, 2x Earth, 2x Leaf, 2x Wood, 2x Sky, 2x Water Party Dress – 3x Stone, 3x Earth, 3x Leaf, 3x Wood, 3x Sky, 3x Water

Animal Crossing island names: Best ideas for all themes in ACNH NintendoAnimal Crossing New Horizons allows you to name your island so if you’re struggling for inspiration, our island names list may give you some ideas for what name you should give your island paradise. Before you can start decorating your house and terraforming the environment, you could spend hours coming up with a name for your island. If you’re stuck for inspiration on a name, however, there are plenty of great ideas out there that include referencing popular TV shows, movies, and even other video games. With that in mind, here are some of the best island name ideas for different themes in Animal Crossing New Horizons. Movie and TV-themed island names The Shire (Lord of the Rings) – Hogwarts (Harry Potter) – Riverdale (Riverdale) – Pandora (Avatar) – Mos Eisley (Star Wars) – Wakanda (Black Panther) – Asgard (Thor) – Arkham (Batman) – Smallville (Superman) – IslaNublar (Jurassic Park) – HiddenLeaf (Naruto) – Andys Room (Toy Story) – Arendelle (Frozen) – Neverland (Peter Pan) – Disneyland (Disney) – Twin Peaks (Twin Peaks) – Creekwood (Love, Simon) – Sunnydale (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) – Video Game-themed island names Hyrule (The Legend of Zelda) – Planet ZDR (Metroid Dread) – Trodain (Dragon Quest) – Eorza (Final Fantasy XIV) – Oddworld (Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee) – Azeroth (Warcraft) – SilentHill (Silent Hill) – Thedas (Dragon Age) – Sanctuary (Diablo) – StormPoint (Apex Legends) – Stardew (Stardew Valley) – WuhuIsland (Wii Fit) – Kanto (Pokemon) – Johto (Pokemon) – Unova (Pokemon) – Galar (Pokemon) – Nintenland (Nintendo) – Nature-themed island names Ocean Beach – Coral Reef – Atlantis – Hawaii – Maldives – Pearl Cove – Milky Way – Moonlight – Star Isle – Madagascar – Honeydew – Lily Field – Rosewood – Hillgrove – Maplevale – Pine Falls – Funny island names Miss Isle – Eggs Isle – Din Isle – Pure Isle – Host Isle – Eye Land – Hi Land – Purgatory – How to think of island names in Animal Crossing If none of our suggestions above take your fancy, you might need to come up with your own island name — and some of the best inspiration can come from the things you enjoy in life. Are you part of a fandom that could translate into an island name? For example, some pop stars have names for their fans, while most movies have memorable settings, like Harry Potter’s Hogwarts Castle. You could also name your island after one of your hobbies or passions, with an ‘isle’ or ‘town’ added to the end to give it a homely feel. Just remember that it can’t be longer than 10 letters (including spaces). Our final suggestion is to use an island name generator. There are loads of them online, and they can help you come up with a name that’s based on your interests or themed around a specific aesthetic. Can you change your island name in Animal Crossing: New Horizons? The bad news is that you can’t rename your island in Animal Crossing New Horizons. The game will warn you about this when you start playing. Once you’ve chosen your island name, there’s simply no option to change it, so make sure that you’re totally happy with the name and that the spelling is correct before you begin your adventure. That’s everything you need to know about picking the perfect island name. You can also take a look at how to breed hybrid flowers to grow flowers with eye-popping colors. You can also check out how to restart your island in case you’re not satisfied with your progress.

Animal Crossing leaker reveals secret nerf to insect spawn rates NintendoCatching insects is a pretty enjoyable way to pass the time in Animal Crossing New Horizons, but some secret changes and nerfs are going to make some bugs even more difficult to find. Animal Crossing’s v1.2 update was released pretty out of the blue on April 21, revealing everything that was coming up until the end of June. There were announcements for new event days, new island visitors, and more – but there wasn’t really notes about changes to the in-game economy or mechanics. As the game runs on real-world time, things can become easier – or harder, of course – to find depending on what time you decide to open up your deserted island. However, there appears to have been some secret changes made to bug spawns that could affect your income of Bells and filling out Blathers museum. These secret changes were revealed by dataminer Ninji, who noted that the spawn rates have since been “unified for all insects.” This means that while some insects may have been rarer in certain months, even though Critterpedia says you can find them in that time frame, everything is now the same. The data miner revealed that Peacock Butterflies have been cut by 80-90%, with both Emperors and Atlas moths going down 50%. Regular Stinkbugs are up 100%, while man-faced ones are down 50%. peacock butterflies have been cut by 80-90%; emperors and atlas moths by 50% regular stinkbugs are up 100%, man-faced ones down 50% tiger beetles up by 33%, scarab beetles down 40% scorpions and tarantulas have both been nerfed significantly as well#ACdatamining #ACspoilers — Ninji (has moved) (@_Ninji) April 24, 2020 Aside from those, Ninji also noted that Tiger Beetles are now 33% more likely to appear while Scarab Beetles spawns are down 40%. Both Scorpions and Tarantulas have been “nerfed significantly” in the process as well. Other insects like the Mantis, Orchid Mantis, Honeybee, Banded Dragonfly, Dung Beetle, and Rainbow stag have also been taken down a touch. Though plenty of others have increased as well. These changes are no doubt a blow to players who want to complete their Critterpedia collection and have been following the previous spawn guides that had been figured out by others. However, Nintendo could easily make a change further down the road if these tweaks make some critters near impossible to find rather than just adding another level of difficulty.

Animal Crossing ‘Museum Gift Shop’ is perfect for extra fossils NintendoAnimal Crossing: New Horizons players have probably run into the same fossils a few times over, making a ‘Museum Gift Shop’ that takes care of the extra bones all the more welcome. The idea would be a streamlined way of converting fossils that can’t be donated to Blathers into miniature sets of themselves – an idea akin to the red lizard named Flick who already performs that task but with insects instead. But since Blathers doesn’t provide that service in his museum, user ‘Kyriearashi’ created another shop with a brand new villager to pick up the slack and finally give players a way to use all of those extra fossils. They started by introducing Bubs, a white owl who has an affinity for Celeste and the curator for the Museum Gift Shop. Where Blathers doesn’t give people a way to dump their fossils, Bubs would welcome them with open arms since he can convert them into miniature models of the larger picture. The Animal Crossing community was instantly taken by the character as well as all of the possibilities that this could have for decorating and getting new items. “This is such a cute concept! I love the character (and his little crush on Celeste),” user ‘InfiniteDandelions’ said. “It’d be a cool way to use spare fossils, and I’d totally buy that Starry Night umbrella.” Along with the concept, Bubs and his shop would also sell museum-themed clothing, equipment and furniture. From the rough concept that Kyriearashi created, there were already designs that sparked other players’ interests. But it wouldn’t be an Animal Crossing addition without adorable extras that the developers sneak in behind the scenes. True-to-form, Bubs would have a crush on Celeste, so when she’s in town, the white owl will try to “pluck up the courage to talk to her.” With the number of fossils in the game, players are bound to run into the same one a couple of times. There’s an option to just display them outright, but that takes up a ton of valuable space on your island. Having an option to scale down the fossils with a Museum Gift Shop that has those services would expand the customization possibilities in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Animal Crossing: New Horizon player reaches amazing milestone after 3 years NintendoOne Animal Crossing New Horizons showed off some serious dedication after earning every achievement through three years of playing. Animal Crossing New Horizons was undoubtedly one of the biggest games of 2020, with millions of players developing and building their own islands over the course of the year. While many fans stopped playing after Nintendo ended support for the game, there are still plenty of dedicated fans who continue to check in with their villagers and fill out their museums. Now, one New Horizons player showed off an amazing feat of dedication on social media that was three years in the making, and fans can’t believe it. Fan completes incredible Animal Crossing New Horizon challenge A Twitter user named Markwars1972 tweeted that he’d finally completed every single Nook Mile Challenge in New Horizons, which “took almost 3 years of normal play to reach.” He attached a video of his character crafting a flimsy fishing rod, then went to check his Nook Mile app only to find the last challenge finally stamped. The final challenge was to craft 3000 tools, which anyone who’s played New Horizons before knows is no easy feat. While tools can break surprisingly fast in New Horizons, crafting over 3000 of them would definitely take years to do naturally. Markwars explained the reason he was able to complete the achievement at all was likely because he only used the lowest-grad tools available. “That’s why you always see me with a flimsy rod and net. I guess I can finally stop crafting them.” Fellow Animal Crossing fans filled the replies with congratulations for finally achieving this monumental task. “Congratulations! You are in the top 0.01% of Animal Crossing players,” one fan account replied. Congrats! I’ve been thinking about going for 100% completion but I think I’ll stick with just getting all the achievement cards. Some of those milestones are pure insanity (villager birthdays, Gulliver, fishing etc). — Bobby (@lowcalbobes) January 5, 2023 Another fan congratulated him and expressed that they’d like to complete the Nook Miles app as well, but admitted that it was extremely difficult to actually do so. “Some of those milestones are pure insanity (villager birthdays, Gulliver, fishing etc).” Unfortunately, the only real rewards players receive for completing every Nook Miles Challenge are bragging rights and a ton of Nook Miles. While many will probably not find it worthwhile, it’s undoubtedly an incredible accomplishment for a diehard Animal Crossing fan.

Animal Crossing: New Horizon’s huge 2.0 update goes live 24 hours early NintendoAnimal Crossing New Horizon’s huge 2.0 update is now available to download on Nintendo Switch, after the devs pushed the long-awaited content drop live 24 hours earlier than its planned November 5 release date. The “2.0” update, which brings new activities and items to Animal Crossing, has gone live early. Anticipation has been building in the New Horizons community for some time now, especially after Nintendo revealed the 2.0 update would be totally free, and add a number of long-waited features, buildings, and new characters to the super-popular game. The new update was originally slated to go live alongside Animal Crossing’s next major DLC expansion, Happy Home Paradise. The paid add-on pack is still locked by pre-order options on the Switch eShop, but that seemingly hasn’t stopped Nintendo from pushing the 2.0 update live a day early. To get your hands on the update, simply go to “software update” on the Switch home menu to start the download. There has been no official confirmation from Nintendo that this was a deliberate choice, but we’ll keep you updated if the devs do reveal more info. What’s in the Animal Crossing 2.0 update? Brewster opens cafe Nintendo says: “Something new is coming to a corner of the museum.” In the 2.0 update, Brewster is opening the Roost, once players fulfill a favor for Blather. The Roost is “a new location to take a relaxing break in and enjoy some hand-selected coffee”. You can invite islanders and friends to the cafe too, to “enjoy relaxing cups of joe” together. Kapp’n boat tours Kapp’n has brought new tours to the island! He sings sea shanties on the journey, and gives players the chance to collect “mysterious flora” on the tour. Gyroids appear on island Animal Crossing’s 2.0 update is adding “gyroids” to the island. These will work the same as fossils, and can be dug up and added to your inventory upon discovery. Harv’s Island adds shops, markets Harv’s Island is “undergoing a renewal” in the new Animal Crossing update. In 2.0, Harvey is inviting shops to the island for an open market. Players can contribute Bells to the cause to make the shopping group grow even bigger too. Redd, Saharah, and Kicks will all have shops here, and Reese and Cryus’ shop will offer new, 2.0-unique furniture customizations not including in workbenches. New DIY cooking recipes Perhaps the most eagerly-anticipated 2.0 change is that cooking will be added to DIY recipes. Animal Crossing players can now grow veggies like tomatoes, wheat, sugarcane, poatotes, and carrots, and add them to delicious dishes whenever they want. Nook Inc adds island support In this update, Nook Inc will “offer further support for your island life”. These include group stretching at the plaza, bigger home storage, a Resident Representative update, and changing the rate that weeds grow on the island. All in all, the Nook Inc update will “help adjust the island to fit players’ lifestyles.” New Animal Crossing villagers in 2.0 update A handful of new Animal Crossing New Horizon characters are coming with the 2.0 update as well, including a few old fan-favorites. Here’s every new villager coming to Animal Crossing: New Horizons in the 2.0 update: Ione (Squirrel) – Shino (Deer) – Petri (Mouse) – Quinn (Eagle) – Zoe (Ant Eater) – Rio (Ostrich) – Azaelea (Rhino) – Faith (Koala) – Sasha (Bunny) – Tiansheng (Monkey) – Marlo (Hamster) – Cephalobot (Octopus) – Chabwick (Penguin) – Ace (Bird) – Frett (Dog) – Roswell (Crocodile) – Animal Crossing New Horizons 2.0 may have been set live a day early, but the Happy Home Paradise DLC isn’t quite available just yet. The new content add-on will be released on Friday, November 5.

Animal Crossing Happy Home Paradise guide: How to get started, invite villagers & design the best houses NintendoAnimal Crossing‘s Happy Home Paradise DLC for New Horizons offers a creative outlet for players to design holiday homes.

Contents How to start Happy Home Paradise – Designing the best houses and rooms – Interior design tips for Happy Home Paradise – How to invite villagers to Happy Home Paradise – How to start Happy Home Paradise in Animal Crossing: New Horizons Getting started with Happy Home Paradise in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is incredibly easy, as it mostly starts without you needing to lift a finger: After loading up the game with the DLC installed, your NookPhone will ring – it’ll be Tom Nook. – Once speaking to him, you’ll automatically end up at Dodo Airlines, where you’ll be greeted by both Tom Nook and Lottie. – You’ll have a brief chat and be introduced to Lottie, and she’ll then head off to Paradise Planning through the airport gates. – After this cutscene, you’ll need to talk to Orville, and select ‘I want to go to work.‘ – That’s it! You’ll now take to the skies before landing at Paradise Planning. – Designing the best Happy Home Paradise rooms and houses in Animal Crossing: New Horizons Once you’ve arrived on the island and have been introduced to Niko and Wardell, you’ll have the opportunity to challenge your interior design skills and design the best vacation house for your first client – Eloise. Tasked with sticking to her theme of ‘My Relaxing Reading Room‘, you’ll need to pull out all the stops to create something truly memorable. Each client will have varying themes you need to adhere to, along with a select few items that must be included in the overall design. Here’s how to get started: Interior design tips for Happy Home Paradise Unbox the red boxes located on the floor of the house – these are the items your room design must include. – Press down on the D-pad to change the camera view, and then right on the D-pad to open up the interior design UI. – When designing a room, make sure to heavily utilize items listed under the ‘Order‘ tab. – There are plenty of other tabs to use, too, but these should be your first port of call. – While the items listed under the ‘Order‘ tab are most likely to be loved by your client, this is not always guaranteed. To check whether or not they love a particular item, place it down by them near the front door. They’ll smile if they like it, but if something’s really up their alley, they’ll nod, clap or have a heart or an exclamation point appear above their head. Make sure to use this before deciding what to go with in your design to get the perfect idea of what it is that they love. As you progress through your Paradise Planning career, you’ll also be able to take your designs even further by unlocking even more ways to impress your clients, such as accent walls, changing room sizes, creating counters, partition walls, polishing furniture, and even the option to hang lights from the ceiling and add a soundscape to the room. It’s also worth noting that, with each client that you take on, the available furniture you have to use in decorating will grow – so pick clients that lean towards your own particular tastes or a specific villager you have in mind. Make sure to apply these methods to the outside of a home, too, as some clients, like Stu, for example, really wants trees in their vacation escape – and lots of them. How to invite Villagers to Happy Home Paradise in Animal Crossing: New Horizons If you want to give the likes of Beau, Midge, or Merengue their home away from home on your own island, it’s as easy as pie… er, chocolate. After completing your first client, Eloise’s, design, you’ll be rewarded with Poki – the island’s own currency. – Inside the Paradise Planning building, head to the bottom left of the ground floor and you’ll see a collection of souvenir chocolates. – Purchase a few boxes with the Poki you made earlier. – Return home to your island and strike up a conversation with the villager you want to create a vacation home for. – Gift one of the chocolates to them, and they’ll ask to visit Paradise Planning. Select ‘I’ll take you‘. – From here, you’ll both be whisked away to Happy Home Paradise’s island, where you can speak to Lottie in the office to start work and then head back outside to talk to your villager. From there, the process is exactly the same as any other client. So, there you have it – our guide on everything you need to know about Happy Home Paradise in Animal Crossing, from designing the best rooms to getting started.

Animal Crossing “Amazon” sells every item and villager in New Horizons Nookazon[jwplayer CE36Lxg7] A new website has been set up to help New Horizons players buy and sell their items, DIY recipes, and even villagers – it’s like Amazon, but for Animal Crossing. We all know the struggle of being addicted to online shopping. Sometimes it’s just really hard not to succumb to temptation to buy that thing you’ve had your eye on for weeks – it’s just $10, right? Right…? Now, Animal Crossing has been given the “Amazon” treatment, meaning you can buy and sell a variety of different things such as furniture, flowers, and more all at a few clicks of a button. Aptly named ‘Nookazon,’ the service lets players participate in swaps over the internet, and it’s really useful for those in search of certain items. Animal Crossing “Amazon” The website calls itself “the one stop for all your ACNH needs” – and that’s actually probably true. It works by having players communicate over Twitter and Discord to set up trades for whatever the buyer is looking for. If you’re a seller, you simply list your item, choose a price – whether that be Bells, Nook Miles Tickets, or something else – and then wait for someone to contact you with an offer. You’re not just limited to items, either; you can actually sell villagers on the site as well. As you may know, snooty cat Raymond is one of the most popular characters in New Horizons, and he’s actually been known to go for over 700 NMTs which is simply just madness. You’ll be pleased to know that other, less expensive animals sell for normal amounts – that’s definitely not the norm. Nookazon also a good way of filling out the art and fossil sections of your museum, especially if you’re having a hard time finishing off the last few pieces. In the City Folk and New Leaf days, you could go on Animal Crossing forums and ask there, but having somewhere specific to request a certain item is a lot easier. Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been a huge success with fans and those new to the series. So popular in fact, that it sold six million copies in just its opening weekend alone, and over 13.41 million units in six weeks. With those stats, it’s easy to see why a marketplace for the game was set up, with so many players trying to get specific items for their islands.

Animal Crossing and Pokemon merge in awesome fan crossover The-NookstersAnimal Crossing meets Pokemon in this incredibly well-made fan mashup, and this crossover is one you absolutely can’t miss. Redditor The-Nooksters posted their own take on a Pokemon battle as it might look within the confines of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and it’s exactly the kind of content the world needed right now. It’s also absolutely impeccably made. Split into two parts as it recounts the beginning stages of Pokemon Fire Red/Red, it goes all the way from naming your character and rival all the way through choosing a “starter” monster (in this case, a villager) and getting into battle. One such fight takes place between two villagers, impeccably dressed like the heroes of the series, Ash and Gary. Instead of those familiar names, however, we have Stinker and Seabass duking it out. Their Pokemon? None other than Pate and Drift. But that’s not even the best part. What is? Oh, the entirety of the two videos! The Animal Crossing Pokemon crossover we need Everything is done with such alarming precision that you’ll swear Pokemon just got an Animal Crossing makeover. It’s all here: the animal speak, character models, and even the music straight out of the RPG. From waking up in your modest home ready to start your journey, to getting out into the world and selecting a monster from Professor Hardwood, it’s as if you’ve stepped into a new dimension where the two have melded into one game. Things get underway quick with the first battle between Pate and Drift. You may know the first as the peppy blue duck villager with pink cheeks and short brown hair – a friendly, energetic villager who loves to use the expression “quackle.” Drift, on the other hand, is a red jock frog villager who loves staying fit and following sports who spouts “brah” a lot. Seabass sends out Pate, while Stinker uses Drift. As you can imagine, Drift takes out his foe with a simple couple of Tackles, and Pate’s Growl doesn’t amount to much. The-Nooksters used clothing items by salmon_eaterr on Twitter to make the villagers look like their Pokemon counterparts. The rest was created with Animal Crossing environments and models, and some absolutely fantastic video editing. You’ll swear Nintendo and The Pokemon Company had a hand in bringing it together.

Animal Crossing beats Call of Duty as most popular game on Twitter Nintendo/Twitter[jwplayer MUEb49Qk]In a series of new statistics released by Twitter, we’ve found out a lot about users’ favorite games, esports teams and gaming topics — and Animal Crossing is actually proving to be the most popular game on the platform. Every few months, Twitter Gaming post their insights into what has been blowing up, the countries that tweet the most about gaming, particular topics that are popular and more. On August 5, the newest set of data came out pertaining to the first half of 2020 and, with over 1 billion tweets apparently sent in those months, Twitter say the gaming conversation is “at an all-time high.” One of the most interesting statistics, though, is the most-followed gaming-related Topics. Fans can follow a Topic to see tweets occurring regarding said subject. As expected, ‘Gaming’ is the most followed ‘gaming related’ Topic on Twitter. This is then followed by ‘Esports’ and, in third place, the first game to crop up in the list: Animal Crossing. It’s fair to say that Animal Crossing has established a huge fan base since New Horizons launched in March 2020, but this puts in black and white just how incredible a job it has done in earning and retaining an audience. Far more than just a cute, niche game, Animal Crossing has become somewhat of a cultural phenomenon and earned itself the title of most popular game on Twitter, beating out Call of Duty, Fortnite and Pokemon as far as most-followed Topics go. Furthermore, the game isn’t only the most followed Topic in 2020 — it’s the most tweeted about game across the entire globe, beating out games that are uber-popular in Asian countries such as Fate/Grand Order, as well as Final Fantasy and Apex Legends among others. Needless to say, if you weren’t aware of the huge cultural impact of Animal Crossing on the gaming sphere, you’ll know now. It’ll be interesting to see whether the game keeps this pace in the latter half of 2020 and beyond, but it’s no doubt caused huge stirs online already, far more than most games could imagine.

Animal Crossing fan’s cute cosplay perfectly captures Isabelle’s cheerful spirit nintendo/VenusBlessingOne Animal Crossing fan has pulled off a picture-perfect Isabelle cosplay that looks like she should be managing her own tropical island. Isabelle is, to many, the face of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Even if you haven’t checked on your island in a while, rest assured she’s still there keeping things going. Despite the game not being as popular as it was around release, it still had a loyal following. One fan, cosplayer VenusBlessing, showed there’s still plenty of passion for the game with an outfit that just screams “Isabelle.” Turns out, you don’t actually need a whole lot to make an Isabelle cosplay work. A green plaid vest, some yellow pants or leggings, and you’re halfway there already. But, what sets VenusBlessing’s apart is the amount of detail she put into things. The clothes are on point, down to the little red bow on the shirt, and she’s even rocking a hairstyle similar to the Animal Crossing character. She even included the ears and a red hair tie with a bell. The only thing that’s missing is a nice cool drink on her desk. Now if that’s not attention to detail, we don’t know what is. Even though there have been complaints about Nintendo “abandoning” Animal Crossing just a few months after coming out, cosplays like this show the community is still going strong. Whether or not VenusBlessing will pull off any more Animal Crossing looks remains to be seen, but she does have plenty more cosplays on her Instagram page as well.

Animal Crossing fans recreate Brooklyn Nine-Nine intro in New Horizons NBC/NintendoA dedicated group of Animal Crossing: New Horizons fans have shared their incredible recreation of the Brooklyn Nine-Nine theme song, using nothing but characters from Nintendo’s immensely popular title. While a number of video games have successfully translated over to TV or vice-versa, we’re not sure many people had 2020’s Animal Crossing: New Horizons down as one that could make the leap. Some dedicated players, however, saw an opportunity to combine Animal Crossing with Brooklyn Nine-Nine, the popular police sitcom. Despite a turbulent past involving a move from FOX to NBC, Brooklyn Nine-Nine has been acclaimed by audiences and critics alike, and was recently renewed for an eighth season. Fans of Brooklyn Nine-Nine will be very familiar with the show’s infamous theme tune, following an opening skit in every single episode. Did you ever imagine that it could be completely re-skinned with Animal Crossing characters though? On May 22, Redditors ‘TheHooksters‘ shared their recreation of the show’s opening theme in New Horizons. The show is renamed as Crossing Six-Nine, and features a host of in-game characters as the stars of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Tank the rhino stars as the gentle giant played by Terry Crews, while Roald the adorable penguin is brilliantly cast as Charles Boyle, the effeminate, hard-working detective played by Joe Lo Truglio. To round off the excellent character choice, Al and Drake are cast as the hilariously inept Hitchcock and Scully, while Tom Nook plays the humorless, stern Captain Holt. The post quickly garnered considerable attention on the game’s subreddit, sitting at over 11,000 upvotes at the time of writing. One fan joked that it should be made into a regular show called ‘Nooklyn 99’, recreating episodes as they go. It is not the first time Animal Crossing fans have dedicated considerable time to recreating other media in-game. Studio Ghibli’s infamous ‘Spirited Away’ has already been recreated but, if they’re all going to be as awesome as this one, we’re more than here for it.

7 fishing tips for Animal Crossing: New Horizons NintendoAnimal Crossing players can make some serious cash – or should we say, bells – catching fish in New Horizons, and it’s not all down to luck. There are things that you can do in-game to increase your chances of making a big catch, so let’s jump right into it. Players will notice that there are a whole load of new bugs and fish to catch, per a new update, and of course, it’s the latter that we’ll be focusing on here. The Golden Trout, Oarfish, and Loach were confirmed to be rotated out at the end of May, with fresh additions coming in to replace them in the waters. We’ve put together a concise list of top tips that will see you jump from beginner to expert when it comes to casting, courting, and catching in the Nintendo Switch title. How to catch more fish in Animal Crossing: New Horizons Pick the right time to go fishing Before we talk about some of the specific things that can give you the edge, it would be preposterous to not let you in on something not every player will know – certain fish spawn at different times. Monitoring the times that they spawn is crucial, really, for you to be able to target a specific species. That, and checking the weather conditions in which they usually appear. You can do all you want in terms of advantageous methods, if the fish isn’t swimming around in the water waiting to be caught, you’re never going to catch it. The four seasons in-game include different months, as seen below. For a full list of fish spawn times and how to catch them, check out our guide here. Spring: Northern (March, April, May) Southern (September, October, November) – Summer: Northern (June, July, August) Southern (December, January, February) – Autumn: Northern (September, October, November) Southern (March, April, May) – Winter: Northern (December, January, February) Southern (June, July, August) – Take the best fishing tools with you! Before you start things off, let’s make sure you have got the right equipment for the task ahead. The list of things you need to hand, excluding bait which we’ll come onto, is the following: Vaulting Pole: Use this to cross water, when needed. – Fishing Rod: Catching the fish wouldn’t be possible without it. – Shovel: Got to dig up them clams. – Slingshot: If you find presents while fishing, use this to knock down the balloon and claim the prize! – How to get fish bait in Animal Crossing: New Horizons The first one to check off on your list of things before fishing is to get enough bait to last you the session. One of the easiest ways to do this is, if you’re on the beach, digging up clams. These clams aren’t actually visible at first glance, but as you run or walk around on the sand, small dark speckles will appear to show you where they’re found. Simply walk over to them once they’ve been found, take your shovel out, and dig it up. These manila clams are free to find, so no problem there. Do this a few times and you’ll be good to go! After you’ve found a few of the clams, you can also take them to a workbench and create fish bait with them – which is worth 200 bells. Know your shadows The list we’ve linked you to previously will give you everything you need to know about each fish in-game, and how to recognize them when they appear. One of the telltale signs, when spotted in the water, is the size of the shadow that can be seen on the surface. These sizes vary from tiny, small, medium, large, largest, and huge. Below, you can see how each of them looks – and the differences. This is useful because if you’re trying to catch a Great White Shark, for example, worth 15,000 bells, then it’s pointless trying to cast your line out near a tiny shadow in the water, because the Great White’s is of the biggest shadows you can find. Don’t disturb the swim, and spend time at the beach When approaching a new swim, particularly if you can see shadows appearing already on the surface, the last thing you want to do is make too much noise and scare them off. The best thing to do is to walk around next to the water, and not run. The running can disturb them and soon enough you will notice they have left the area, so that’s something to keep in mind. If you spend enough time at the beach, moving from one swim to another checking for shadows, soon enough some will appear – even with fins out of the water. Once you spot one, gently approach, and cast your line into the water using the rod. Be accurate with your casts Once you have got your eye on a fish shadow you would like to pursue, try to cast out your line – using the rod – so the float lands right in front of its eye line. This way, the fish will be quickly alerted about the presence of bait. If you’re lucky enough to get some interaction near the lure, don’t panic. Often the fish will feel the bait before taking it, nudging it, and so on. You will know when it’s finally taken the bait, though, as the float will fully go into the water and a small sound can be heard. Reeling the fish in This is the most important step, but probably the simplest to get the hang of. You will have done so many things to get to this point, so you don’t want to lose it! Once it’s taken the bait, press A quickly on your Nintendo Switch controller to strike. If the strike came in at the right time, you will hook it, and the fish will start circling around. At this stage, you’ve already got the job done so don’t worry about hammering the button down like no tomorrow, as it’s definitely going to be pulled out of the water. Seconds later, it will show you what was hooked! Hopefully, now that you know the spawn times and locations of each species, it will be the one that you want. And that brings us to the end of our fishing guide for Animal Crossing: New Horizons!

Northern Hemisphere bugs and fish for June Fishing season is here! For this month, players will quickly notice a massive jump in ocean creatures available compared to the previous month. Some of these inhabitants are worth an insane amount, so you will be wanting to get your fishing bait ready. Joining the lineup is the rare Dorado, which will be swimming in your island’s river. The large fish is worth a whopping 15k. It gets even better if you are brave enough to take on the ocean’s newly added sharks, as all four are worth thousands. As for insect lovers, don’t miss out on the Goliath Beetle as the little guy fetches 8k.

Given the incredible surplus of these creatures arriving your island, there are more options then ever reel in a big catch. And in terms of Bells, they sell for some of the highest amounts. While each month brings new additions, it also means some of those creatures will stop being available at the end of the season. The bugs and fish leaving at the end of June are: Common Butterfly, Yellow Butterfly, Peacock Butterfly, Firefly, Ladybug, Violin Beetle, Pill Bug, Centipede, Cherry Salmon, and Char. It will be interesting to see how players form their catching strategies in the coming weeks. Although we have a feeling that many will get into the fishing spirit, given the insane opportunities to get some coin.

All new fish and bugs coming to Animal Crossing: New Horizons in May Nintendo / Twitter: @triforcemegAs we enter into a new month, Animal Crossing players will have a fresh assortment of fish and bugs introduced to their islands.

But during the Direct, fans finally got a look at what’s to come and were surprised when 16 new villagers were shown on the cards right at the end of the presentation. Some are fresh to the series, and some were only ever in the original 2002 GameCube title. The products release on the same day as the 2.0 update on November 5, and are sold at local retailers. It is currently unclear whether this is the only method of obtaining the new characters or whether they’ll be thrown into the random villager pool to move in when someone leaves your island.

Ordinances in Animal Crossing: New Horizons In short, Island Ordinances affect the way your town operates. They range from changing your stores’ opening and closing time, to making your economy stronger.

Read More: How to restart your New Horizons island – Here’s every Ordinance in Animal Crossing: New Horizons and what each one does: Early Bird – Shops open and close earlier and villagers wake up sooner – Night Owl – Shops open and close later and villagers go to bed later – Beautiful Island – Flowers don’t wilt, less weeds appear, cockroaches never spawn, and it gives a higher hybrid flower chance – Bell Boom – You get more Bells when selling items and lowers the cost of purchases – To implement or change an Ordinance, speak to Isabelle in your Resident Services building.

100 Thieves release full merch range in Animal Crossing: New Horizons Nintendo (via Twitter: triforcemeg)100 Thieves have released their entire merchandise collection in Animal Crossing: New Horizons (ACNH), and here’s how anyone can claim the codes for their characters. The level of customization in the latest Animal Crossing lets players create and share designs that they can use to decorate walls, flooring, and even individual pieces of clothing in the game’s massive wardrobe. The level of customization has been well-received since New Horizons released with players recreating scenes from their favorite movies to replicating clothes and styles that would be difficult to obtain in real life. All codes for 100 Thieves merch collection 100T merch drops have been some of the most popular releases that sell out mere moments after officially launching. While the hype of their clothing leaves many fans without a chance of copping them, the ACNH codes can provide a little solace for them. The recreations were put together by Twitter users ‘ActualIyCasey’ and ‘dearanipii’ who used their talents to meticulously make every hat, sweater, tee and more. Spanning clothes from 2018 to 2020, the collection includes the very first collection to the latest Numbers series. How to import custom images and designs for Animal Crossing The key to importing these designs within the game lies inside of the Able Sisters tailor shop and having a Nintendo Switch Online membership. If you haven’t unlocked the sisters’ shop yet, you’ll need to progress through New Horizons until they make a location on your island. Once they’ve set up shop on your island, head to the Custom Designs Portal in the back of the shop to the right of the clothes displayed on the wall. From there, all you have to do is input the 14-digit design codes and your character will be ready to rep the entire 100T merch collection from over the years. New Horizons is a benchmark title in the beloved series. Not only does it give players agency of an entire island, the levels of customization, inside/outside furniture, and even the landscape is unprecedented even for Animal Crossing. With the ability to add custom options from brands like 100 Thieves, the possibilities are endless for any player to find something they love in Animal Crossing.

Best Animal Crossing Terraforming ideas & island layouts Nintendo (via Twitter: @triforcemeg)Animal Crossing New Horizons’ terraforming feature lets you sculpt your island into your dream haven. Here are some creative terraforming design ideas to help you achieve your ideal island layout in the game. Terraforming, a fresh addition to the Animal Crossing series in New Horizons, grants substantial creative liberty, allowing you to mold your island as you wish. It represents a significant advancement in series customization as you get to plan your island layout. The feature can be a bit overwhelming at first however, particularly if you’re struggling for inspiration in the game but don’t worry because we’ve got a list of some of the best Terraforming ideas right here. Here are 10 great Terraforming ideas you can use on your Animal Crossing New Horizons island! Contents Best island terraforming ideas in Animal Crossing – Clifftop Museum – Valley – Marketplace – Neighborhood – Zoo – Garden – Park – Island entrance – Lighthouse – Natural ramp – Best island terraforming ideas in Animal Crossing Before you get started on trying to recreate the below methods, it’s worth mentioning that terraforming isn’t unlocked until after K.K. Slider visits your island. Make sure to complete that step first before you attempt to go ahead and transform your town and island. Clifftop museum Collecting bugs and catching fish is one of the main elements of the Animal Crossing series, so why not make a spectacle of your museum to make it stand out above the rest? Using your Waterscaping tool to carve out the land and surround the building with water really adds to the effect of making visitors know that it’s a place that’s worth visiting – especially if it’s swarming with critters. Adding in waterfalls also makes it a sight to behold, and once done, you can fill out the landscape with trees, flowers, and outdoor furniture to make the area look even more beautiful. Valley Bro my friend’s island is crazy. This is the path to his house #AnimalCrossing #ACNH #NintendoSwitch pic.twitter.com/6acZGSphLr — Junk Dog (@JunkusDoggus) March 25, 2020 If this isn’t one of the most creative terraforming ideas you’ve ever seen, we don’t know what is. While players will obviously want to make their own houses one of the best on the entire island, having an entire valley filled with waterfalls and different-sized cliffs leading up to it truly does take the cake. With even the walkway surrounded by its own body of water, the stroll up to your house will make you feel majestic – after all, you are the town’s Resident Representative, so why not reflect that in your design? For added effect, you could even place flowers and items on the cliffs themselves to really jazz up the space and make it your own. Marketplace City Folk for the Nintendo Wii added the Marketplace, which was only accessible by bus, and took players to a plaza with a plethora of shops. Now, you can have something similar on your Switch, if you so desire. Using the Cliffscaping tool to flesh out some hills and adding in a waterfall and river makes for a beautiful divider between your Nook’s Cranny and Able Sisters shops. Go one step further by connecting the two with a gorgeous bridge – or even a stepping stone. Add in some scenery like street lamps and other outdoor furniture and you’ll have yourself a fully-fledged Marketplace where you can shop until you drop, in style. Neighborhood #AnimalCrossing #ACNH #NintendoSwitch pic.twitter.com/eP8OcVvKBf — コルネット (@td03846938) March 28, 2020 While making your own house look dazzling is a top priority for many players, ensuring everyone else’s abode is also stylish will also pull the design of your town together perfectly. New Horizons finally introduced the ability to move villagers’ houses wherever you want them, so grouping them together in a neighborhood is a great way of sectioning off your island and leaving the rest of it house-free for endless creations. You can also spruce up your residential area with fences and furniture, and can go that one step further by customizing the outside of their houses to give everyone their own personalized front yards. Zoo If you’re on an island getaway, you’d half expect there to be some kind of attraction for tourists to go to. Using the various furniture items in the game can be used to replicate animals, such as baby and mama pandas, Mr. and Mrs. Flamingo, papa bears, and more. If you’ve fished up a Snapping Turtle or two, you can also place them on the ground for a more ‘real’ vibe to your menagerie. Don’t forget to fence them in! Garden One of the most relaxing ideas on this list is adding a garden to your Animal Crossing island! Everybody needs somewhere they can escape to when they need a little respite – even on an island getaway. Provide a space for villagers and visitors to unwind in by creating a relaxing garden. Using many types of plants, such as trees, bushes, and flowers will create a peaceful area that people can escape to for some tranquility. Outdoor furniture can jazz the space up, too. Especially if you add benches for visitors to sit and wind down in, and a record player with some calming music. You could use the terraforming tool to make some cliffs to close the area in for that ‘secret’ vibe. Park Along the same vein of relaxing spaces, making a park is another way of creating a place for everyone to unwind at. Placing down some benches for people to sit on and decorating beautifully with trees, flowers, and bushes is a must. You could even make a playground by using outdoor furniture like a slide, climbing frame, and colorful springy rides! Don’t forget the park clock – after all, you need to be able to tell the time wherever you are. Island entrance Having friends visit your island is a staple for many when playing Animal Crossing, whether it’s to trade or catalog items, pick fruits, or simply hang out together. So why not make a legendary entryway and wow them as soon as they step out of your airport? Reddit user ‘SailorKelsey_‘ did just this, and it’s something that people can take some serious inspiration from. They opened their town with an epic set of waterfalls and a fountain plaza to really make a great first impression on guests. You could also add in a bridge instead of a pathway across the water, and even craft an archway for an extra special effect. Lighthouse We’ve all got a lighthouse on our Animal Crossing island, right? Something needs to help guide the ships (unless you’re Gulliver, there’s no helping him), and in any case, it just looks neat. Redditor ‘screelord‘ took their lighthouse game to the next level with their genius terraforming idea. Instead of just plonking it on the beach, they opted to create a seaside cliff just for the building. It’s one of those simple but unique island ideas that will add some extra flair to your Animal Crossing island. Surrounding it with pretty flowers and bushes adds a Studio Ghibli-esque feel to it, and makes an already-cool feature look even better. Natural ramp This is a simple one, but it looks really cute – especially if your town has a forest or Cottagecore theme. Stairs do look nice, but they don’t fit in with every type of layout or island design. User ‘ajdude9‘ shared their tip for making ramps part of the actual cliffside rather than having them stick out. Simply terraform enough space into the side of the cliff to place a ramp there, and it’ll look like it’s part of the rock. The outcome is reminiscent of the GameCube days with Population Growing where ramps would be built into the cliff naturally.

Funny catchphrases & catchphrase ideas in Animal Crossing: New Horizons Nintendo / DexertoInteracting with villagers in Animal Crossing: New Horizons offers a delightful experience with their humorous and distinctive catchphrases. Each villager has their own set of amusing and often peculiar phrases in the game. Every villager in Animal Crossing: New Horizons has their own unique personality, likes, and dislikes. Their catchphrases are where they can really shine in the game though: some are odd, some are heartwarming, and others are downright hilarious. While catchphrases can be changed (and some may be adopted by other villagers), it can also be fun to leave them exactly as-is. Because we love interacting with every unique character that we meet in-game just like you do, we’ve put together a list of some funny catchphrases you can come across in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Ranging from fun to outright puzzling, here are five of the best. Contents 1. Aurora Aurora is a little Penguin friend who’s a bit timid, and this nervous phrase fits perfectly with this chill little chick. She’s seemingly freezing, and as such her catchphrase is “baby,” but it comes out as “b-b-baby.” As a normal villager, she doesn’t have a particular affectation in terms of her personality, but it sure is cute and giggle-inducing to think she’s standing there shivering every time she says her catchphrase. It also raises a serious question: aren’t penguins used to the cold weather? And why is Aurora so cold standing in the middle of an island paradise? Maybe she’s just gotten so acclimated to being in the cold that this phrase simply comes naturally to her now. Either way, it always puts a smile on our faces. 2. Bob Bob is arguably one of the most loved villagers, but what’s up with his catchphrase, “pthhpth”? We’re going to go out on a limb here and go by the old Animal Crossing E-reader card (thanks, Animal Crossing Wiki!) and say it’s because he tends to spit a lot when he talks. That doesn’t make trying to say this bit of onomatopoeia any less hilarious. This lazy purple cat drifts around town with half-closed eyes and loves to chill out, but we lose all our chill every time we get into conversation with this cool dude and he, well, spits on us. Either that, or he’s coughing up a hairball. It’s hard to say. Broccolo Broccolo is one gluttonous little mouse, and that at least partially explains his uproarious catchphrase “eat it”. But it definitely doesn’t make things any less awkward when you’re trying to have a conversation with this little guy. Uh, no, Broccolo, we don’t want to eat anything you command us to. This food-loving mouse can’t get enough of napping and eating, but he may as well be a comedian with a few well-timed uses of “eat it” in his lexicon. While Animal Crossing is nothing but innocent and wholesome, this phrase of course does take on a bit of a naughty connotation in the right context. 4. Coco Coco is pretty creepy, so adding the phrase “doyoing” makes her a little more approachable. While she might look a little strange, that weird catchphrase reminds us of the gyroids of older Animal Crossing games. Either way, it’s such a weird phrase that we can’t help but giggle when it comes up. It’s also a word that’s so unlike all the rest of the villagers’ catchphrases, that you really have to wonder why it’s thrown in with the rest of the mix. Either way, it’s a laugh riot, especially when you aren’t expecting it. Doyoing! 5. Tammy Could this sisterly cub villager named Tammy actually be one of the sassiest of all? She might look lazy and laid back, but she can go from 0-to-100 quicker than the blink of an eye, ya heard? Yes, “ya heard?” is her catchphrase, and we’d honestly have it no other way. Tammy talks tough, and it shows, especially if you start bullying her. Maybe it’s the fact that she likes to stay up late at night, but she’s always wound up and ready to speak her mind. Just don’t get her around any snooty or cranky villagers who like to spread rumors. Or do just that, because we love to laugh at these crazy animals. Animal Crossing villager catchphrase ideas Looking to add your own flair to the catchphrases that your Villagers’ll say in Animal Crossing? We’ve gathered a list of the most side-splitting ones around to assign to whichever village you think fits it best. There’s a limit of 10 characters available when giving a Villager a new catchphrase, so if you’re trying to create your own, you’ll need to keep it snappy. That’s everything you need to know about various catchphrases in Animal Crossing New Horizons!

6 egg types in Animal Crossing: New Horizons explained NintendoAnimal Crossing: New Horizons’ Easter-themed event brings plenty of new DIY recipes, so find out everything you need to know and the Bunny Day egg types and where you can find them in the game. The Easter festivities have come to the sunny shores of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which means the Bunny Day holiday event is live once again. Not only does this egg-cellent event enable players to craft a variety of egg-themed items, but this year’s festivities have also added a bunch of new goods to collect. In order to make every Bunny Day item, you’ll first need to collect a variety of eggs on your island. Whether you missed last year’s Animal Crossing Bunny Day update or just wish to finish your crafting collection, then our handy eggs-planation of the game’s various egg types will make this Easter egg hunt less of a scramble. Contents Leaf Egg As the name suggests, the Leaf Egg can be found in Animal Crossing’s trees. Simply walk up to any tree that has eggs on it, then shake it to claim your prize. The more trees you have on your island, the more Leaf Eggs you’ll be able to harvest. Water Egg Fishing has always been a big part of Animal Crossing games, so you’ll need to become a master fisherman if you wish to reel in some Water Eggs. During the Bunny Day event, the game’s fish silhouettes will sometimes net you a Water Egg. While this can make searching for rare fish rather difficult, you’ll need plenty of Water Eggs if you wish to craft every DIY recipe. Wood Egg It’s no yolk that you’ll need plenty of wood eggs if you wish to craft a number of Bunny Day DIY recipes. In order to get Wood eggs, you’ll need to chop down trees to find them. Simply whip out your ax and get woodcutting to claim your prize. Sky Egg Not only do Animal Crossing’s Sky Eggs require a little more effort to obtain, but they also appear less frequently than the other egg-ceptional varieties. During the Bunny Day event, multicolored egg balloons can occasionally be spotted floating above your island. Simply take out your trusty slingshot and pop the balloon to secure the present. These presents can contain Bunny Day DIY recipes, so make sure you don’t miss your shot. Stone Egg Quite how these eggs managed to get inside Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ stones is anyone’s guess. Simply hit any rocks on your island with a shovel and pick up your rocky reward. Earth Egg Just like Animal Crossing’s fossil spots, Earth Eggs appear under the ground and can be dug up with a spade. If you find any x-shaped marks on the ground, then be prepared to get digging!

Valkyrae teases Among Us session with Ariana Grande Instagram: Valkyrae / Instagram: arianagrandeRachel ‘Valkyrae’ Hofstetter could be on track for one of the biggest gaming livestreams in history, as the 100 Thieves star has teased a potential Among Us session with Ariana Grande. Hot off the heels of becoming the world’s most watched female streamer in 2020, the new year is shaping up to be even bigger for Valkyrae. Partway through a February 10 broadcast, the YouTube sensation teased a huge Among Us stream that could be in the pipeline. Among Us took the internet by storm in the latter half of 2020, and no one capitalized on the trend quite like Valkyrae. The biggest gaming personalities crossed over with countless mainstream celebs to make the murder mystery title one of the biggest games of all time. Now, the 29-year old YouTube streamer is putting plans into motion for one of the biggest crossovers yet. In 2021, it’s “very possible” that we see Valkyrae streaming Among Us with Ariana Grande. When a fan posed the question during her latest stream, Valkyrae initially brushed it off. Could she ever convince the singer to join an Among Us session? “She’s out of my league,” Valkyrae responded. “She is so far beyond… I won’t be able to reach her.” While she might not have a direct line of contact, thanks to her connections at 100 Thieves, the idea has already been pitched. “She knows that we want to play Among Us,” Valkyrae confirmed. “100 Thieves got Scooter Braun to talk to her about it. It’s just gonna take a million years or it’s not gonna happen.” Given Grande is one of the world’s biggest celebrities, organizing such a groundbreaking event won’t happen overnight – but Valkyrae teased that it certainly could come to fruition. “It’s kinda cool knowing that there is a slim chance that she could. It’s a very slim chance,” she added, “but it’s possible.” 100 Thieves have a bigger history with Grande than first meets the eye; Valkyrae even met the singer backstage in 2019, thanks to their connections. Meanwhile, Jack ‘CouRage’ Dunlop interacted with her a great deal on the back of a viral video that same year.

Pokimane’s big-brain Among Us tactic exposes PewDiePie as an Imposter InnerSloth / PewDiePie YouTube / Pokimane TwitchPokimane used a clever trick in Among Us that instantly exposed PewDiePie as one of the game’s imposters while teaching her audience an easier way to figure out if someone is trying to conceal their identity amid the crew. It’s no secret that Among Us has become a go-to option for many of the top gaming streamers and YouTubers; these content creators have been refining their lies throughout their gameplay, though there are some pitfalls that they’re still easily making. One of those mistakes as an imposter is not knowing the time constraints that a given task demands from the crew member before it’s completed. For anyone that hasn’t played, this means that someone with a keen eye on their fellow ‘crew’ can easily tell if someone’s trying to deceive the lobby by pretending to do a task. Some imposters fake it well, some stumble through the game hoping they don’t get caught, and others still get exposed for a momentary lapse in judgment, which is exactly what happened to PewDiePie. Over on Polus in Communications, Pokimane was sus on Pewds as the two, along with 100 Thieves’ Valkyrae, were approaching the terminal to upload the task. PewDiePie entered the room first, immediately going to the computer to start his ‘task,’ quickly followed by Valkyrae and then Pokimane. “Pewds was on it, Rae got on it like a second after me,” she said to herself, keeping track of who should get off of the task first. “So Pewds should get off it first.” But the longtime streamer was wide-eyed in disbelief after she saw that the white crew member belonging to the YouTube King was the last to leave the terminal. Always calculating the odds, she waited until later in the game to reveal her evidence, eventually voting to eject PewDiePie out of the game. In the next round’s meeting, Poki further explained the deep thinking that went into her suspicions: “Upload is a set-timed task, so if someone else and I get on it at the same time, we have to get off of it at the same time. So because Rae and I got on it after Pewds and we got off of it before he did, it made me think that he was faking it.” Turns out, she was right! After the second imposter was discovered and exposed, the game ended, proving that Pewds had indeed been the first killer. Pokimane’s 10,000 IQ assessment is yet another example of the type of awareness players need to have in order to be successful in Among Us.

Proximity Chat in Among Us: What is it and how to use it InnerslothAmong Us has become one of the most popular games on the planet, providing an escape during this global crisis. However, the proximity chat mod has changed how you play the game for the better. [jwplayer s3Kl6oQO] Among Us has become a modern-day classic already. With everyone from pro esports players to casual gamers all trying their hand at the game, Among Us has become the perfect method of escapism across the globe. Streams of the game are among the most popular on YouTube and Twitch, with content creators such as Corpse Husband seeing a massive increase in viewership. In a YouTube video featuring Corpse alongside other popular streamers such as Sweet Anita and CouRage, the players discovered a mod that makes the game even more fun, also adding a way to scare your fellow space travellers. What is Among Us proximity chat? Proximity chat is a feature that mimics how sound travels in real-life. The closer another crewmate (or Imposter) gets to you, the louder their voice gets. The opposite is also true, as the further away the player moves the softer the sound gets. It also allows the other crewmates to hear through walls, making the Imposter’s job a lot harder. This presents a wealth of fun opportunities. As CouRage explains, running at another crewmate and screaming down the mic will certainly give them a shock. All of the streamers are seen causing absolute havoc as they run around the map framing each other as the Imposter. The gameplay looks so much more fun, but also adds a degree of complexity to what seems a straightforward concept. How to use proximity chat in Among Us The good news is if you want to have a go at using this feature, you can do so by downloading the mod on PC, as YouTuber Ottomated explains. Go to GitHub and download the latest version of CrewLink. – Once installed, the mod will open automatically. – Clicking ‘Open Game’ will open the game via Steam, allowing you to use proximity chat. – Joining a lobby will show your sprite on the mod screen with your username and customization settings. – For others to join you in proximity chat, they just need to have the mod installed, and be in the same lobby as you. – The mod seems to occasionally have some issues, so may not be quite as reliable as it would be if it was officially in the game, but when working seems to be a great way for players to join in with the fun.

Among Us mod for Super Smash Bros Brawl is absolutely insane YutakaThey’ve finally done it, folks. After months of concept art, a Smash mod has been released which sees the Among Us Impostor battle it out with SSBB’s finest, complete with a full kit including sounds and animations. Among Us was the definitive hit multiplayer game of 2020. Originally only available on PC and mobile, the game was later released on Nintendo Switch, in a big collaboration between developers InnerSloth and Nintendo. This collaboration made people wonder whether we could be seeing more Nintendo x Among Us content, with Smash fans creating some detailed concepts that saw the Among Us Impostor introduced as a Smash fighter. One such concept was even praised by Among Us themselves. This latest development in the Among Us x Smash crossover saga has actively realized this idea. Complete with a full, detailed moveset, slick animations and a creative final smash, this Among Us Super Smash Brothers Brawl mod is one of the best things you’ll see today. The creator Yutaka released a trailer of a full mod, implemented into Super Smash Brothers Brawl. The full trailer provides a complete rundown of what the imposter is capable of, and it looks like it would be a pretty strong character to play. The trailer shows off some really slick animations, including an F-smash of the ‘Alien Kill’ Among Us animation, a Fuel Tank Down-smash, a side special that initiates a shooting task, and a down special which sends the Impostor into a vent. Read More: Could Kratos come to Smash Ultimate? – But by far the most impressive part of the kit is the final smash animation. Initiating a final smash sees the impostor call an emergency meeting, before being ejected. They then fall back down to Earth and crash onto the surface, releasing a huge shockwave that sends all opponents flying off the map. How to get the Among Us Impostor in Smash You can access the mod files for the Among Us Imposter fighter by accessing the creator’s dropbox, which can be found here. While this SSBB mod now exists, it remains unclear whether Nintendo has any plans to introduce the Impostor to Ultimate. One thing is for sure, though: this mod shows it can be done, and done well.

Valkyrae explains her idea to save Among Us from dying 100 Thieves, InnerSlothYouTube star turned 100 Thieves co-owner Rachell ‘Valkyrae’ Hofstetter gained prominence in 2020 for her Among Us streams, and has explained why the game’s popularity is in serious decline. Both avid gamers and casual players dipped their toes into Among Us during the game’s meteoric rise during 2020. The perfect way to kill some time and shout abuse at your friends, the title became quite the phenomenon. 2021, however, has seen its popularity drop off a cliff. With former players like Sykkuno noting that the planning aspect of the game is more bother than it’s worth, streamers are now flocking to the likes of Valorant or GTA RP. Valkyrae has a different take on why the game has seen such rapid decline, and she makes some pretty interesting points. Valkyrae on the Among Us decline While playing the werewolf-style party game with the original crew, she admits that she’s been asking herself “why did Among Us fall off?” Answering her own question, she notes that “I think that if Among Us wants to stay popular, I think what they need to do is make it so that people can create their own maps, y’know like designing and putting vents in places and stuff.” She calls for more “customization options, as they’re not releasing maps, or even just aesthetic things, fast enough.” The TLDR is, in order to keep the title alive, InnerSloth need to up their output or, alternatively, let players have more of a say. (Topic begins at 50:28) Despite actively admitting that she missed the game, the queen of YouTube is clearly more there for the company than the actual gameplay. While it’s great to see the Amigops and friends take to the hallowed halls of the Among Us spaceship once more and scream at each other for being sus, it appears that the devs will need to up their game if they want the title to remain prominent.

Valkyrae explains why she misses “the good old days” of Among Us Innersloth, Instagram: Valkyrae100 Thieves co-owner Rachel ‘Valkyrae’ Hoffstetter has become known for a host of different things, but Among Us was one of the titles that snowballed her YouTube career. Turns out, she really does miss it. There’s a lot of things that you can associate Valkyrae with. She’s a co-owner of esports behemoth 100 Thieves, a music video star, and a member of one of GTA RP NoPixel’s most notorious virtual gangs. A lot of people still associate her with Among Us, though, proven by her recent venture onto talkshow host Jimmy Fallon’s Twitch stream. Turns out we’re not the only ones feeling nostalgic, though, as the YouTube sensation has opened up about missing 2020’s most iconic title. Valkyrae misses “the good old days” of Among Us In the stream that debuted her star performance in Bella Poarch’s music video, “Build a B*tch,” Rae takes a trip down memory lane by looking at her dedicated subreddit. Coming across a highlight reel of Among Us clips entitled “The End of an Era,” she laments the fact that the game has largely fallen out of the streaming meta. “I actually really miss the Among Us lobbies. I miss when everyone was addicted to it. I miss playing with everyone more often.” Asking “it feels like everyone went their separate ways. Doesn’t it feel like that?” eventually she concludes “it’s kind of sad.” A little later in the stream, she refers to her time calling out imposters as “the good old days,” prompted by an Among Us inspired drawing of the Amigops crew. (Topic begins at 53:32) While the last map to drop in the title, Airship, failed to really make it off of the ground, it’s interesting to see just how nostalgic Rae feels. It’s clear that the game really was close to her heart, as well as the friends that she made during her meteoric rise to YouTube stardom. We’ll have to wait and see if the gang gets back together again, but at the moment it seems like there won’t be any more Among Us streams in the near future.

Mako and CouRage made Ninja ‘rage quit’ hilarious game of Among Us InnerSlothExpert trolls and fellow 100 Thieves streamers CouRage and Mako had their fun with Ninja during an Among Us stream that made the world’s most popular gamer ‘rage quit’ in disbelief with what he was seeing. Anyone who’s stepped into the shoddy facilities in Among Us knows that the game can devolve into hilarious antics to either convince people of your evidence or throw people off the trail. While matches with strangers can sometimes morph into really sweaty games, playing with friends or acquaintances is where the fun really starts to heat up as you get to know everyone’s quirks and tells. But knowing your enemy can also open the door to explosive moments, especially if you know what makes a particular person erupt in madness. Well it looks like Ninja and company weren’t on the same page during one match, which gave way to an excellent moment in CouRage’s channel where the Red crew member ‘rage quit’ in a losing battle. The game was down to just five crew members with two imposters still alive when a dead body was reported. This was basically matchpoint for the imposters if no one in the party got voted off or if the wrong person gets chosen. “I screamed at the top of my lungs after I said ‘I passed.’ I put sus on Froste again but I f***ing passed, and the ones who voted him were Orange, Purple, and Pink,” Ninja protested as he presented his evidence. This pivotal moment wasn’t lost on Ninja but – by the sound of it – the lobby was already tainted from previous games, which amounted to jokes and jabs going unrecognized within the actual discourse to find the imposter. (Mobile Viewers: Timestamp at 11:23) After crew members cast their votes, however, no one was ejected. He blew his lid at that point, since it gave the imposters a clear path to victory. Apparently Ninja rage quit by leaving his Red crew member idle in the lost game, and CouRage said he even through his headset. Ninja later found out that the person he voted for, the Pink player, was indeed an imposter. This is exactly the kind of tortuous gameplay that Among Us players equally love and hate, but this round didn’t quite go Ninja’s way.

New Among Us map “The Airship” revealed InnerslothAmong Us’ fourth map, named The Airship, has been revealed. The maze of ladders and sliding floors features a host of new features exclusive to the map, and will be released to players in “early 2021.” If you’re an Among Us fan, there’s a lot to get excited about. Not only did the party game pick up numerous prizes at The Game Awards, including Best Multiplayer Game, but there was a special trailer for players. Innersloth debuted the game’s next map, the Airship, which is set to be released in early 2021. It will be the most complex and kitted-out map in Among Us, and is sure to instantly become a fan-favorite. New Airship map features new tasks, spawn locations, more There’s a lot of new features jam-packed into the Airship map. While we didn’t get a full overview of what to expect, it’s going to be the most interactive map in Among Us. There’s ladders to get between levels on the map, and also shifting floors to traverse over dangerous drops between the Airship’s tiers. It makes the Airship, all in all, the biggest map in the game so far. As always, new tasks are on the way specific to the map too. While not much was shown off in the preview, a new gem polishing task in the Vault will be available, as well as a different way to empty garbage. The biggest change of all though is the choice to spawn in three different locations: Engine Room, Records, and Main Hall after a meeting. This could drastically change the strategy of the game for both Imposters and Crewmates, as you could throw someone off your scent there. ☀️ THE AIRSHIP – A new map coming early 2021 ☀️ Prepare yourselves, crewmates. This upcoming (free!) map will include: 🔹 all new tasks 🔹 your choice of what room to start in 🔹 ladders?! 🔹 and more?But don’t forget about those Impostors lurking around… pic.twitter.com/IU2HJGuyEY — Among Us (@AmongUsGame) December 11, 2020 When will the Airship map be released in Among Us? Innersloth gave a very general release date for Among Us’ fourth map — early 2021. However, given how popular the game is, you can be sure they’ll try to ship it as fast as possible. The four developers can only work so fast, but given how fast they’ve responded to players in the past, it should be just a matter of weeks. Keep your eyes peeled in the new year for the new map.

New Among Us update adds more roles than just Imposter & Crewmate InnerslothThe latest Among Us update has just changed the immensely popular game at its core with brand new roles now accessible — Scientist, Engineer, Guardian Angel, and Shapeshifter — alongside a range of fresh cosmetics. Ever since Among Us took over the internet, just two roles have defined the simple title: Imposters and Crewmates. That’s how Among Us worked for its first three years on the market. Moving forward, however, that’s no longer the case. Thanks to a November 9 update, Among Us now has more roles than ever before, providing new ways to play the game. Not only that but a complete overhaul of the cosmetic system has now been deployed too. There’s plenty to wrap your head around so here’s a full rundown of the latest changes. New Among Us roles explained Rather than just adding one new role to shake things up, Among Us decided to drop four unique roles in the game all at once. The Scientist, Engineer, Guardian Angel, and Shapeshifter are now all available to use as you please. The Scientist comes with a unique buff that allows you to access vitals at any time. This battery-powered tool needs to be recharged by completing tasks, however. Next is the Engineer that can use vents whenever they happen to be nearby. Following that up is the Guardian Angel that can protect any remaining Crewmate from danger by casting a shield on them. Read More: When does Fortnite Season 9 start? – Last but not least is a new role for Imposters: The Shapeshifter can disguise themselves by appearing as any other Crewmate in the map. New Among Us Cosmicubes system An entirely new cosmetic system was also packed into the November 9 Among Us update. Cosmicubes enter the game as new cosmetic items that can be unlocked with various forms of currency. Beans, Stars, Pods, and XP are all earned along the way to completing a certain cosmicube. These offer new pathways to a wide range of visual items including all your favorite skins, visors, hats, and more. Full Among Us November 9 patch notes Controller changes The Vent action is no longer attached to the main action button. In order to vent, press V on the keyboard, or Right Shoulder Button on controllers. – Sabotage is no longer attached to the main action button. In order to access the sabotage map, Impostors can simply open up their map, using the Tab key on keyboards or Left Trigger on controllers. – If you have a special role, the action for that role is accessed via the F key on keyboards, or Right Trigger on controllers. This includes the Engineer’s vent ability. – Achievements Stats that affect your achievements will persist across all linked platforms (essentially your stats are linked to your player ID) – You need to perform the actual action that would unlock that achievement to trigger it on another platform. – Fake achievement example to explain: If you got a 50 card swipe achievement on Steam and want that to unlock on iOS, you would need to do the card swipe task one more time in iOS to get the achievement. –

Pokimane criticizes new Among Us map for being “too much” Twitter: pokimanelol, InnerSlothAmong Us’ new Airship map has breathed fresh air into the game, but Twitch star Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys isn’t a big fan. Among Us has become a sensation in an insanely short period of time. With the title being largely ignored up until 2020, it saw a meteoric rise to fame because of content creators on Twitch and YouTube. So, as soon as it was announced that the devs were finally releasing the game’s newest map, Airship, we knew that we’d see a resurgence of Among Us on our feeds. Of course, it wouldn’t be a true Among Us release if Twitch sensation Pokimane wasn’t involved, but it turns out the queen of Twitch isn’t vibing with the game’s latest installment. Pokimane isn’t a fan of Airship After playing the game with fellow content creators like Valkyrae and Sykkuno, Poki drops a bit of a bombshell towards the end of her YouTube highlights video. “So, what I think about new map… I just think the map is kind of too big, it’s too much. I love a lot of parts of it, but together it’s a lot.” Noting that it would maybe better if more people could play, specifically 12, she adds: “Also, there’s too many places where you can spawn. It makes it tough because it feels like, how am I ever supposed to sus someone… “Even if someone has to do a task here, then a task elsewhere that would be really really hard to check unless you are with them the whole time. It makes it hard to get really solid info…” It’s pretty clear that Poki still loves playing the game, though. Whether this will be her go-to map pick is a different story, but it’s nice to see that the title still offers groups of friends a fun escape from a very chaotic world. It’ll be exciting if she changes her mind over time, especially as things get a little more familiar.

Pokimane devilishly used Among Us’ proximity chat vs Disguised Toast InnerSloth / Pokimane TwitchPokimane showed how to the Among Us proximity chat changes the game, giving you the ability to mess with everyone in the lobby like Disguised Toast, CORPSE, and Valkyrae as the game unfolds. While trials and deliberation usually takes place during emergency meetings and when a body is found, proximity chat keeps the mics hot. Whether you’re trying to marinate a crew member or catch an imposter in a lie, there’s a lot of wiggle room with the feature. Pokimane showed how to do just that when she used it in her lobby when she led on players like Sykkuno, LilyPichu, and Toast in multiple games. Perfectly popping in and out of rooms to sway opinion, divide attention, and pick off unsuspecting streamers throughout her games. Toast was the first to fall victim in the grand scheme, actually helping Poki break Ludwig’s train of logic – which was about to reveal Pokimane as the imposter. Down to the last four survivors, Ludwig had an inkling that Pokimane was the fake crew member. But pitching his train of thought to accuse her kept getting derailed by her small lies then her hilarious ultimatum down the line. After voting for herself and then lying about it, Ludwig was hot on her trail: “No no, I think Poki voted for you, Toast. I lied (about voting for Corpse) to see if someone else would vote for you to tie the vote… Poki voted for herself to maybe tie the vote. Cause if I had voted for her it would have been 2-2, and they would’ve won.” “If Poki did that, she deserves the win,” Toast said, all the while being fed with misdirection from Pokimane. Then when they actually got into the vote, all Poki had to do was throw off the conversation with a last remark: “Or we can vote Lud, cause everyone knows it was him… Bad b**ches vote for Lud.” With only three players left, the game was sealed! She even kept up the strats in the next game against Sykkuno, showing exactly how to manipulate people in Among Us with some trickery via proximity chat.

Pokimane reveals she funded custom Among Us map made by Hafu and 5up InnerslothAmong Us fans have been patiently waiting for the new map update for a while now, but Pokimane had some exciting news on another map that will release before Airship. Among Us continues to be a popular pick among Twitch streamers thanks to its exciting of gameplay of teamwork and betrayal. However, aside from a few minor updates, the game has received very little in the way of new content. While bugfixes and quality of life changes have been welcome, many Among Us fans have been itching to play on the game’s new Airship map. Unfortunately, developers Innersloth haven’t given any news on the map’s release date. While most Among Us fans will have to patiently wait for the upcoming level, it looks as though popular streamers Pokimane, Hafu, and 5up have other plans. During a recent Trainwreckstv stream, Pokimane announced she was helping Hafu and 5up make their very own Among Us map. “I actually have some exciting news,” Pokimane announced to the Trainwrecktv cast. “5up and Hafu are making a map, which I’m also helping fund and it’s going to come out before the new map. I don’t even know when the new map’s going to come out, but there’s going to be another map! It’s going to be cooler, it’s going to be better, it’s going to be awesome. Period.” As of writing, Among Us currently has three maps available: The Skeld, MIRA HQ, and Polus. While they all offer different mini-games and layouts, they have been getting rather dull, especially for those that play the game regularly on stream. After all, playing the same three maps is bound to get rather tiresome after a while. Whether Pokimane’s new map will be made available to the public remains to be determined, but it will undoubtedly provide us with plenty of hilarious Among Us clips. Pokimane will likely provide more news on the map’s development in the future, so we’ll provide more updates as and when we get them.

Incredible Rocket League mod turns Among Us crewmates into cars Innersloth / PsyonixAmong Us and Rocket League are successful games in their own right, but a team of modders has been hard at work trying to bring the two together. [jwplayer 0aZyYkP6] Among Us and Rocket League don’t have a lot in common. However, they’ve both had an enormous boost in popularity this year, and it seems like it’s going to continue to rise for quite some time. Among Us has been particularly impressive since it’s gameplay is simple but incredibly fun. Still, that hasn’t stopped modders from trying to come up with ways to make it better and even bring it to life in other games. Rocket League modders have hopped on the bandwagon too, and they’re using the game’s custom creation tools to create an Among Us map and mode with a Rocket League twist. The project is led by a map designer named Lethamyr, who also happens to be a streamer and professional Rocket League player. He’s made many other custom maps, but none have been as exciting or ambitious as this one. He’s teamed up with two other modders named Gidek and CinderBlock, who are more focused on the gameplay and networking side of things. They’re all very excited about it and have worked for more than a thousand hours already. “Among Us in Rocket League will literally be a game inside a game,” said Lethamyr. “I am so excited for this project to be done and out there for everyone, combined hours on this project are easily over 1000, it will be insane…” The @InnerslothDevs Among Us in @RocketLeague will literally be a game inside a game. I am so excited for this project to be done and out there for everyone, combined hours on this project are easily over 1000, it will be insane… pic.twitter.com/jks7C8DSpM — SSG Lethamyr (@Lethamyr_RL) November 7, 2020 Lethamyr has been very open about its development on social media, all the way from when it first started until now. He has even been kind enough to share pictures and provide status updates. “These Among Us Rocket League hallways looking kinda nice,” he said in one post. These Among Us @RocketLeague hallways lookin kinda nice😩 pic.twitter.com/pm7XOIpx9H — SSG Lethamyr (@Lethamyr_RL) November 6, 2020 It’s an exciting project and one that many players of both games are keeping an eye on. Sadly, there’s still no release date in sight, but it will definitely be worth the wait once it’s ready. Like most mods, it will only be available to players on PC. Consoles and mobiles still lack adequate support and infrastructure to make it possible for modders to bring their projects to fruition. In the meantime, there’s still plenty of Among Us and Rocket League to enjoy. And the best part is, they’re only going get better as time goes on.

KSI’s Among Us game ends in disaster after rookie voice chat slip up YouTube: KSI / InnerSlothYouTuber KSI was caught red-handed when playing Among Us in the chaos-causing proximity chat, giving the game away that he’d killed two people without realizing he was in earshot of fellow creator Randolph. Among Us was undoubtedly the indie sensation of the year in 2020, its minimalistic graphics alongside the gripping gameplay launching it into international success, with just about every creator having given the game a go on stream. In recent months a new mod has also been leveling up the already tense gameplay. The external ‘Proximity Chat’ mod allows players to join a group voice call while playing, with the volume getting louder and quieter depending on how close you are to other players. Detailed on how to try this mod out for yourself can be found here. It does however have the potential to get imposters into trouble if they don’t know exactly who is nearby, and KSI a.k.a. JJ Olatunji was the latest to fall victim. YouTuber Randolph was giving his best shot at being a crewmate aboard the ship, making sure he vocalized every time he did a task so that nearby players also in Proximity mode could hear that he wasn’t being suspicious and make sure they didn’t think he was the imposter. KSI’s Proximity Chat error costs him the game As he walked around the corner into electrical to complete another task, the shadows parted to reveal KSI standing next to the dead bodies of two other players, letting out a delighted laugh as he thought he’d gotten away with it. However, he almost instantly realized that Randolph was nearby and let out a simple “oh sh*t” before the ‘dead body reported’ alert comically descended over the screen. Randolph immediately started wheezing with laughter at the unexpected find, as everyone else asked him what happened to cause that reaction. As the YouTuber explained what he saw, KSI can be heard distantly saying, “what do you mean?” and making one last attempt to prove his innocence. Read More: Devs praise Among Us x Smash Bros. concept – But as expected, everyone ended up voting for JJ, and he made only sounds of disappointment as his avatar drifted across empty space, having been kicked from the ship. Proximity Chat has proven to be another entertaining addition to an already tense game, and although it isn’t an official feature currently, many hope that InnerSloth will be adding it into the base game in a future update.

KSI’s bizarre Among Us strategy ends in absolute disaster Youtube, JJ Alatunji / InnerSlothIt’s hard to know what to say during Among Us rounds, but KSI devised a way to solve that by spinning a wheel. Unfortunately, the results were still completely disastrous. [jwplayer 91I9RIGm] A virtual social deduction game set in outer space, Among Us combines deceit, sabotage, and a rocket ship filled with armless jelly beans. In this upsurging PVP mystery world, verbal cues and actions replace the disguises offered by poker faces in the real world’s big-money games. But Olajide ‘JJ’ Olatunji, more popularly known as KSI, wanted to give himself a challenge and try something a little unique in Among Us. Whether impostor or crewmate, the English YouTuber, rapper, actor, and boxer decided he would test the limits of scripted performance and see how important improvisation really is to success in the popular space mystery. So KSI made a wheel with 14 different speech options and established some rules for himself: at the start of each round he would spin the wheel and then restrict himself to only saying what it landed on. This included generic options like “suck your mum” and targeted group-specific ones like “I think it’s Josh.” “Today I’m going to be doing an Among Us video, but, for once, I have an original idea!” Although some may contend that spinning a wheel isn’t entirely original, KSI is right that it hasn’t been popularized for Among Us content. And rightfully so, as a game so dependent on persuasion and deduction isn’t particularly suited to one member being forced to repeat the same phrases over and over and…over again. From baseless accusations against Vikkstar and the other Sidemen involved to stubborn condemnations of “oh, shut up” and “suck your dad,” his strategy was an interesting experiment. With these repeated utterances offering very little in terms of actual discourse, KSI was voted off more often than not with everyone eventually catching on. At some point, a fellow crewmate simply responded that he should “get out of the f**king lobby, man. I’ve had enough of that.” Ultimately, the boys had their laughs and he got his content. But the experiment proved one thing only: improvisation and discussion are, as one would expect, crucial to a game of social deduction.

Ludwig admits he cheated at Among Us to make better Twitch & YouTube content Ludwig/InnerSlothYouTube star Ludwig ‘Ludwig’ Ahgren openly admitted he cheated in Among Us lobbies and explained how it helped him make better videos when the game was super popular. There was a time when Among Us completely took over the YouTube meta and seemingly every content creator was making videos based on the whodunit game from developer InnerSloth. Streamers like Pokimane, Sykkuno, and Disguised Toast were making near-daily videos on the game in its heyday. Another streamer who cashed in on the craze was Ludwig, who was still streaming on Twitch at the time. Now, Ludwig has admitted that in order to generate more interesting Among Us content he may have cheated. Ludwig opens up on cheating in Among Us The YouTuber titled the April 28 episode of his podcast The Yard “Ludwig Finally Admits to Cheating in Among Us.” Ahgren and his co-hosts were discussing the recent cheating controversy surrounding Mizkif’s game show Schooled, whose winner EEvisu admitted he cheated in order to win. Ludwig has offered a defense of EE, and even admitted he’s cheated in the past. “For juicy content, I would sometimes look at chat and it would be emote only, and I could kind of see who they were emoting, because there would always be narcs. And then, I would guide the content that way. But not like ‘Let me be the genius’, it would be like ‘Oh Sykkuno’s the imposter? Let me hang out with his all game and then pretend I got super manipulated.’” He continued his explanation, “It doesn’t matter if you win Among Us, but you can make better content if you know.” Time starts 45:04 for mobile users Ludwig was grilled by his co-hosts on if he ever cheated during Among Us tournaments, which he flatly declined. Cheating to make YouTube content out of a game is much different than cheating in a competition with a grand prize of $50k. While Ahgren admits he cheated to find out who the imposter was in open lobbies, he didn’t cheat when there was ever any money on the line.

How to play Among Us Jester mode InnerslothAmong Us is gaining steam again as streamers have been returning to Innersloth’s popular social deduction title and playing a few different mods. Here’s what you need to know about the Jester mode. Innersloth’s Among Us gained plenty of love from the internet in the latter stages of 2020, becoming a staple on Twitch and YouTube for the hilarious moments it created. The formula of the game is simple – complete your tasks as a Crewmate to win or eliminate everyone without being caught as the Imposter. Though, as the game has returned to popularity in recent weeks, players have been putting new spins on it. Mods have allowed players to use proximity chat to catch others out, add new roles like the Sherriff so that one player has the power to eliminate the Imposter, as well as using new hats to decorate their character. However, it’s the Jester mod that has been getting more love than others recently. What is Among Us Jester mode? Just like the Sherriff mod, the Jester add-on gives the game another role – the Jester – and yes, it is exactly what it sounds like. Among the confusion of trying to figure out who is an Imposter and who is a Crewmate, the goal of the Jester is to get themselves eliminated without outing themselves as the Jester. That means you’ve got to play a little dumb but not go far enough so that it’s obvious as to what you’re doing. It can provide some hilarious moments, of course, but it’s got to be played in a private match so that everyone adheres to the right rules. How to download Among Us Jester mod There are plenty of different downloads out there claiming to be the right Jester mod, but the original comes from YouTuber SocksFor1. If you want to get your hands on his version, you’ve got to join his Discord, and be active in there for a good while so that the download link opens up for you. Once it does, simply download it, install the mod, and then access it in a private game. Joins SocksFor1’s Discord – Be active in the channel until you are able to download – Download the Jester link – Install the mod – You can now play the Jester mod! – Once you’ve got the mod installed, you can easily switch back and forth between that and the normal Among Us mode. Read More: Proximity Chat in Among Us: What is it and how to use it Though, you will have to be careful and remember that if you’re not playing Jester, you don’t need to act suspect when there is no need to. So, keep an eye on what mode you’re playing.

Game-breaking Among Us invisibility glitch is ruining lobbies InnerSloth / YouTube: MJ TeeeA crazy glitch in Among Us that allows the impostor to become invisible has proven to be a crucially unfair advantage to whoever is tasked with picking off the crewmates aboard the ship. The success of the social deduction game Among Us has certainly been unexpected. With a quiet reaction to the indie game’s original release in 2018, no one could have anticipated that it would explode in popularity seemingly out of nowhere two years later in 2020. In order to win, crewmates must complete all their tasks and avoid getting brutally murdered by the impostor, whose goal is to sabotage the cremates’ mission and kill them off one by one. Naturally as the game has surged in popularity, people have been speculating over which features they would love to see in a future update. However, some have taken matters into their own hands by exploiting glitches, or even hacking, to try new things in the game, which the team at InnerSloth had to push out an emergency update for. Many of glitches that have emerged have been relatively harmless, such as the ability to get your pet to walk along the inside of the walls. It’s the kind of thing that has little impact on gameplay, but is fun for people to try out. But one glitch that has proven to be a distinctly unfair advantage for impostors has been the invisibility glitch. This allows people, when playing as the impostor, to time venting in a way that allows them to explore the ship completely unseen. How the Among Us invisibility glitch works As A+Start on YouTube explains, in order to activate the glitch in a public lobby, the impostor needs to vent as soon as an emergency meeting is called, or a body is found. Topic begins at 1:12 If timed correctly, when the meeting ends you will still be able to see your sprite, but none of the other players will be able to see you, rendering you invisible. The invisibility ends as soon as you kill someone. This, of course, has endless implications for the fairness of the game, essentially allowing imposters to pick off lone crewmates without them having a chance to avoid it. While it might be a lot of fun for whoever’s lucky enough to be the impostor, it’s not so fun for those crewmates who are without their own advantage. It’s likely that this glitch and other glitches that heavily impact lobbies will be corrected in an upcoming update, but it has some people hoping for an ‘invisibility bomb’ type feature in the near future.

Hafu follows DisguisedToast as Among Us stars slowly quit the game Instagram: itsHafu / InnerslothRumay ‘Hafu’ Wang is the latest in a line of Among Us streamers looking at dropping the popular party game after growing bored. It comes after Jeremy ‘DisguisedToast’ Wang also claimed he was taking a break, and highlights a concerning trend. Among Us took Twitch and the gaming community by storm across 2020. The party game, developed in 2018, boomed from 50 average players a day to over 5 million. However, as the four-man development team tries to pump out content for the game, including the new Airship map, streamers are slowly moving away. First it was Jeremy ‘DisguisedToast’ Wang deciding to take a break. Arguably the biggest Among Us content creator, Toast’s career was reignited by the game, catapulting him into stardom after his Hearthstone and Teamfight Tactics days. Now, Rumay ‘Hafu’ Wang is joining him. Hafu claimed she only has about “a month” of Among Us content left before the game becomes too stale for her. “I feel very similar [to Toast],” she said on a recent stream. “Right now I’m having fun because I haven’t played with the new mods, but I don’t have the same kind of passion that I had for Among Us.” New content just doesn’t scratch the itch anymore. With the game practically solved for her, playing the party game just doesn’t bring the same level of enjoyment compared to nearly a year ago when the craze caught on. “The reason why games get boring for me is because they stop mentally challenging me. Instead of learning new ways to think and new mechanics, it’s a knowledge grind, over and over again,” she said. “New maps don’t solve that. New mods solve that in Among Us — but as soon as our group learns it, it’ll be done.” Hafu burning out of Among Us exposes trend The imminent departure of two of Among Us’ biggest content creators is part of a wider trend that has seen the game fall in popularity in 2021. Since Among Us’ peak on Twitch back in September 2020 with nearly 300,000 average viewers at any one time, numbers have dropped by over 90% to just 20,000. It’s spiked occasionally, but there’s a clear and rapid decline. Read More: Will xQc return to GTA RP? – This is also seen in the game’s Steam charts. After peaking at 176,000 average concurrent players in October 2020, and a peak of 438,524 in September, Among Us struggles to pull in 20,000 average concurrent players on a monthly basis. While Among Us might see a resurgence in the future — like GTA RP has done numerous times, most recently in March 2021 — it might be without the stars that propelled the game into the conscious of millions.

Hafu’s Among Us lobby takes action against toxic Twitch chat Instagram, @itshafu / InnerSlothIn light of recent drama involving xChocoBars and Twitch chat toxicity in Hafu’s Among Us lobbies, the streamers are working together to implement a process aimed at curtailing unsavory viewers. In one of Rumay ‘Hafu’ Wang’s popular Among Us sessions with a variety of streamers, Luminosity Gaming’s xChocoBars was driven to tears and an early conclusion of her stream by overwhelming toxicity in Twitch chat. While Hafu and others, like Jeremy ‘DisguisedToast’ Wang, tried to console xChocoBars and let her know that chat was being unfair — the damage had already been done. Viewers were aggressively berating ChocoBars for failing to identify the impostor and that pushed her to find a substitute for her in the game and end her stream early, forgoing involvement in Rachel ‘Valkyrae’ Hofstetter’s session later in the day. In the hours since the unfortunate incident, Hafu has worked on creating a process to deal with toxic chatters that will involve moderators from each streamer’s chat joining a collective Discord channel. The morning lobbies are going to have a mod discord so that if someone is a poopoo head in one of our chats- they get banned from all of our streams 🔨 — Hafu (@itshafu) January 21, 2021 As Hafu explains, her Among Us morning lobbies will be accompanied by a communal “mod Discord.” This will allow the streamers, in unison, to levy out punishments to someone who has been overly toxic in any individual chat. While Hafu denotes the level of toxicity as anyone being a “poopoo head,” it’s clear that this process is designed to ensure that anyone wanting to be toxic will be relegated to uninvolvement in any stream that is part of the lobby. Overall, the idea is a quality one as it should deter people from being too nasty in chat. If someone is so invested in a streamer’s game of Among Us that they become toxic, they’ll probably dislike being completely banned from the entire lobby’s streams. Love you guys thank you i’m okay. I think I just need some time away from the internet and love myself and remind myself of the important things in life. I will be back tmrw for morning hafu lobby — xChocoBars (@xChocoBars) January 21, 2021 As xChocoBars tweeted, she did need to take a break from the internet for a while after dealing with toxicity in the morning stream — but she will be returning for Hafu’s next morning Among Us lobby. Read more: Why was Codemiko banned on Twitch? – It’s unclear if this anti-toxicity process was in the works before ChocoBars decided to join for the following morning’s stream. Regardless, it should be comforting to know that the lobby is taking action against what has become a growing issue in Among Us streams.

How many people play Among Us? Player count (April 2022) InnerslothAmong Us exploded onto the gaming scene as a space-themed whodunit from developers Innersloth. The multiplayer title has seen regular content updates which have added tons of layers of mystery to Among Us’ Mafia-inspired gameplay. With the game being years old now, players are wondering how many people play Among Us in 2022? Rarely do video games skyrocket in popularity like Among Us did. Originally enjoying a low-key release in 2018, Among Us didn’t pick up steam until 2020 when streamers and content creators en masse began playing the multiplayer mystery. Top Twitch personalities like Pokimane, Sykkuno, Disguised Toast, and tons of others hopped onto the Among Us bandwagon and Since then, while the game has continued to receive content updates like Among Us VR and added more roles than just imposter, the player base has dropped off. Updated April 1, 2022, with new player count information. How many people are playing Among Us in 2022? According to stat tracking site Steam Charts, as of April 1, 2022, the last 30 days saw the average number of players increase slightly to 5,497 with a total average in March 2022 of 5,458 players. It’s worth noting that these numbers are only for Steam players, and so don’t account for players playing through Epic Games. Among Us’ player count has been steadily declining for quite some time now, as March 2022 constituted the lowest average player count for the game since July 2020. The whodunit’s highest peak player count was in September 2020 when it hit 438,524 players. Despite having a lower player count now, Among Us still holds a special place in tons of gamers’ hearts. It also still serves as one of the most solid multiplayer experiences for gamers of all ages.

How to get Corpse mask, Sykunno scarf & other hats in Among Us Twitter: OttomatedA new Among Us mod is in the works that will let players use cosmetics from some of their favorite streamers, including Corpse Husband, Dream, and more. Here’s what you need to know. In late 2020, the internet gave its love to Among Us – a party game from Innersloth where you play as an imposter or a crewmate – and it exploded in popularity. A whole raft of creators could be found playing the game, and it topped the charts on both Twitch and YouTube. Though, in recent weeks, it’s slipped away as the attention has turned to games like Rust and even Fortnite, again. Some creators have started to return to the game, including Valkyrae, Corpse Husband, and Sykkuno, and they’re getting in-game cosmetics thanks to an incredible new mod. So, here’s what you need to know. How to get streamer hats & masks in Among Us For the most part, if you dive into an Among Us game, you’ll have a few different choices to customize your character but Ottomated, the dev behind proximity chat, is changing that. He’s working on adding creator cosmetics to the game through his CrewLink mod. It’s currently not available to everyone, and only streamers can use the cosmetics as of now, but it won’t be a complicated process to get your hands on them when they’re available. You’ll simply need to have the latest version of CrewLink downloaded from Ottomated’s Github page, and then use that when you launch Among Us. Once in the game, you’ll have the option to use the cosmetics.

Disguised Toast’s rookie mistake ruins Among Us game with Sykkuno, Corpse & Valkyrae Instagram: Disguised Toast/InnerSlothJeremy ‘Disguised Toast’ Wang made the most basic of all Among Us errors to give himself away as an imposter during a star-studded stream with Sykkuno, Corpse, Valkyrae, and others. With Among Us still popular as ever among streamers, nobody has made the game their own quite like Toast. In fact, it’s become by far his most-played game on Facebook Gaming since the midway point of 2020. With all this time dedicated to the game, you’d think Toast would have the basics nailed to a tee. Every new player has done something stupid to give themselves away as the imposter, but Toast has likely played Among Us for hundreds of hours. However, during an Among Us game that was full of big names from the world of streaming, Toast made arguably the worst rookie mistake of them all. After Miyoung ‘Kkatamina’ Kang caught Bretman Rock and Toast emerging from electrical, where they had killed Valkyrae, Bretman was voted off, leaving Toast as the only remaining imposter. As the next round started, Toast gave us his thoughts. “That was not good to kill Bretman,” he said. “Maybe I should’ve just killed Miyoung.” The only issue was that Toast hadn’t actually muted himself and accidentally broadcasted these thoughts to the entire call, completely giving himself away to the rest of the crewmates. Mobile users: segment starts at 1:05. The entire discord erupted in laughter, as Toast slowly came to realize his mistake. Miyoung instantly slapped the emergency meeting button, leading to Toast getting voted off and sent into space. Toast even voted for himself, such was the gravity of the error. Miyoung protested that she was going to call Toast out as an imposter anyway, after seeing him leave the room shortly before Valkyrae was murdered. Voice chat in Among Us is a real path of peril, with the likes of KSI suffering unfortunate losses as a result of voice chat mechanics. Either way, Toast’s mistake is one that many Among Us players have made in the past, and you can bet your house on seeing similar errors being made again in the future.

DisguisedToast explains why he has no interest in playing Among Us again Innersloth / Instagram: @disguisedtoastOfflineTV Facebook Gaming streamer Jeremy ‘DisguisedToast’ Wang returned to Twitch to speak to fans and revealed that he had turned down multiple opportunities to join Among Us lobbies. Among Us was undoubtedly the game of 2020. With its cross-platform compatibility and purely addictive replayability, it won Game of the Year on its way to the top. And Toast was one of the game’s biggest content creators, collaborating with other OfflineTV content creators like Pokimane, as well as his “Amigops” such as Vallkyrae and Corpse Husband, to produce some of the game’s most entertaining content. But Among Us eventually saw its popularity start to dip, and Toast announced in April that he would no longer be producing content for the game. Now Toast has revealed that he has since had opportunities to return, but explained why he turned the offers down. Returning to Twitch to speak to fans, Toast explained that he had turned down five offers to join Among Us lobbies with other content creators, but had turned them all down as he “didn’t believe” in playing a game he had no interest in. He said: “I’ve been thinking, because I have a lot of free time these days, about content, especially now that Among Us is dead. “I think I got invited to five Among Us lobbies since I stopped, and I’ve turned it down each time. I just don’t believe in playing a game that you’re not interested in. Even if it’s for content, even if it’s for viewership.” With Among Us’ drop-off in popularity, it’s unlikely we’ll see Toast make a permanent return to the game anytime soon as he continues collaborations with other OfflineTV members. His recent escapades on the OTV Rust server have been a huge hit, but he believes the server is inherently limited as he can’t “be an assh*le” to other streamers, as he’s likely to meet them in real life. Perhaps this struggle could one day push him back to Among Us, where “being an assh*le” is such an intrinsic part of the game.

DisguisedToast terrifies Valkyrae with creepy Among Us VR performance Twitch: DisguisedToastDisguisedToast and Valkyrae met up in an Among Us VR game and things took a terrifying turn when Toast made his move as an impostor. Toast made a name for himself as one of the most clever and entertaining Among Us streamers to grace the game back when it first popped off in 2020. Now, he’s back putting those skills to use and this time Valkyrae was the one on the receiving end of what might be his scariest moment yet, and because it’s virtual reality, it hit all that much harder. DisguisedToast terrifies Valkyrae in Among Us VR Things were calm when Rae first entered the Admin room where Toast was posted up. Instead of treating him like a potential threat, she took her place on the other side of the table from him and attempted to break the ice. “Come here often?” she asked. When that didn’t work she turned to ask him what he thought about the new look version of the game. Instead of a chill conversation, she ended up sitting in complete silence as Toast examined the doors to the room to make sure there was no one around. It was all but over by the time she realized what was happening. All that was left to do was run and scream as Toast advanced and collected his kill before hopping into the vent to watch the mystery unfold in front of him. This is far from the first time that we’ve seen him make a maniacal play but something about it being in VR makes it feel more impactful (and scary) to witness in real time.

Dr Disrespect hints at possible Among Us stream with PewDiePie Instagram: drdisrespect / YouTube: PewDiePieDr Disrespect has hinted he may team up with fellow YouTuber Felix ‘PewDiePie’ Kjellberg this week, after being inundated with comments asking when he’s going to play the ridiculously popular social deduction game Among Us. InnerSloth’s indie game Among Us surprised everyone when it experienced an unprecedented surge in popularity this year, over two years after it was originally released. The game sees friends and strangers attempt to figure out who aboard the spaceship is the imposter, picking off crewmates one by one and sabotaging the mission. The craze has seen just about everyone from every walk of YouTube, Twitch, and beyond joining in with the fun. Recently, even US politician Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a.k.a. AOC streamed for the first time with creators like Pokimane and Corpse Husband. Will Dr Disrespect stream Among Us? Even if someone hasn’t played Among Us so far, it’s unlikely that they’ve managed to swerve the influx of comments from fans asking them to play the game, with people keen to see how different personalities will tackle the often hilarious situations they end up in. In a stream on November 8, Dr Disrespect finally responded to fans who were asking him to play the popular game. “You know, one thing I always get all the time. ‘When are you gonna play Among Us Doctor? When are you gonna play Among Us, Doctor?’” He went on to say that “I’ve never played it,” but after a long pause added that “I’ll play it with PewDiePie. Next week.” However, he also said “it’s up to you” suggesting that no actual arrangements have yet been made. If an Among Us stream between Dr Disrespect, PewDiePie, and other popular streamers were to go ahead it would certainly be an entertaining one for fans who have been waiting for him to jump on the craze. And with the game having such a strong debate component, it’s always interesting to see how different people react under pressure.

First look at new Among Us map: full reveal date announced InnerslothIn the company’s first tweet from its brand new Twitter account, Among Us developer Innersloth shared the first look at a brand new map coming to the hit multiplayer game, as well as teasing when the full reveal would be coming. Ever since the Among Us took off in popularity, the developers have begun increasing the game’s social media presence. While the devs have posted updates on its personal Twitter account in the past, Innersloth now seems to be focusing on its own dedicated presence for the game thanks to a newly revamped official account. During its first tweet on the brand new account, the developers posted a brand new tease at some new content that may very well be coming in the near future, as well as revealed when fans will be able to learn more. First look at new Among Us map 🚀 Welcome to the official Among Us Twitter 🚀 Get all the news, peeks, and fun shenanigans here and become a part of the crew. Here’s a special look at the NEW Among Us map! (For your eyes only!!) (Don’t show the impostors!!) pic.twitter.com/FrCkK7ZcnI — Among Us (@AmongUsGame) November 18, 2020 After originally teasing the news a few weeks back, developer Innersloth has revealed on its new Among Us Twitter account the first look at a brand new map in the hit multiplayer game. The screenshot itself seems to be off a new Navigation room but aside from that there’s not much to decipher in the picture. It’s seems to be pretty spacious, so it may end up being the spawn room, but that’s pure speculation. When will the next Among Us map be revealed? Hungry for more? Keep an eye out for @thegameawards on Dec 10 👀 It’s getting reaaaaal suspicious over there. — Among Us (@AmongUsGame) November 18, 2020 According to Innersloth, the new map is set to be introduced to the world during The Game Awards 2020, which takes place on December 10. Beyond that, however, the developers didn’t let loose any other bit of information, leaving fans wondering what it has in store. It’s possible that Innersloth is simply showing off the brand new map during the awards show and then calling it a night. It’s also possible that this map is a part of a larger update which fans have yet to know about. Either way, we won’t have to wait long to find out, as the show is only a few weeks away.

Disguised Toast reveals how much Among Us boosted his YouTube & streaming stats Innersloth, Twitter: Disguised ToastOffline TV sensation Jeremy ‘Disguised Toast’ Wang saw a meteoric rise during the Among Us era of 2020, but he’s revealed some insane stats that show just how much impact the game had on his career. While 2020 has become synonymous with many things, Among Us is certainly one of them. The Mafia inspired party game became an instant hit for streamers everywhere, raking in millions of viewers. One of the creators who benefitted from the title’s exponential rise was Disguised Toast. Despite moving away from the title as its popularity declined, he’s expressed an interest in jumping back into space once a month with the initial team that used to play together. It turns out, though, that despite all of the other games he’s played during his time on the internet, Among Us is the one that has had the most impact. On the recent episode of his ‘20,000 IQ’ series, the streamer sat down to discuss the impact of Among Us on his career. When asked ” how do you think Among Us has changed your life,” he pulls out his phone and drops some wild stats. “So August 1, 2020, that’s when we first played, I had 1.2 million subscribers on YouTube. I now have 3.5 million, so more than doubled.” “On Twitter, I had about 600,000 followers, I now have 1.3 million. More than doubled. On Twitch, the platform I don’t stream on besides like, three times in the last months, I had 1.3 million followers on Twitch, and now I’m at 2 million.” “So 700,000 on a channel that wasn’t even streaming, because a lot of these viewers, they’re in other Twitch streams and they’re like ‘oh, this Disguised Toast guy seems pretty smart, let’s watch his stream! He’s not streaming now, let me follow him.’ The game was so popular that 700,000 people followed a channel that didn’t stream.” (Topic begins at 7:31) His social media also saw massive growth. “Instagram went from 300k to 800k, almost tripled, and Facebook went from 600k to 1.5 million.” He confesses that “I’ve been streaming for about five years now and the last eight months doubled all my numbers. I essentially did it all again, but in eight months, so it’s kind of surreal to think about it, that Among Us was so big.” It’s insane to think that the game fell off of the face of the Earth a few months later given these figures. Whether or not it makes a return remains to be seen, but either way, Toast has etched himself into both the Among Us and streaming history books with this meteoric rise to fame.

Disguised Toast roasts Jimmy Fallon with some serious shade after Among Us snub Disguised Toast/InnerSlothPopular streamer Jeremy ‘Disguised Toast’ Wang had some pretty funny shade for Jimmy Fallon after he was left out of the recent, massive Among Us stream. Just as Fortnite did a few years ago, Among Us has brought together some of the biggest names in gaming and pop culture. US Senator Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez used it as a way to get people energized to vote, teaming up with the likes of Pokimane and HasanAbi. More recently, late-night talkshow host Jimmy Fallon held a session of games with Valkyrae, Corpse Husband, and members of the Stranger Things cast. The stream caused some issues seeing as Disguised Toast, who helped popularize Among Us and is a part of the Valkyrae and Corpse group, was left out. Toast has spoken about why he thinks he was left on the sidelines, but now he’s also dropped some pretty funny shade. During his April 10 stream, the Offline TV member was unpacking some boxes and talking to chat when he found a small case that was making a noise and he moved it around. After getting inside, he discovered that it was a keyboard keycap based on an Among Us character being eliminated. “It’s got a little bone coming out of the top, that’s pretty funny,” Toast said before he turned up the heat and dropped some jokes. “It’s because I play Among Us! I’m kind of known as the Among Us guy, just ask anyone… except Jimmy Fallon.” Toast’s viewers clearly enjoyed the shade as his on-screen chat filled up with laughs and emote spam as he carried on doing what he was doing. While the Among Us stream seemed a sore point at first, it seems as if Toast is over it and can just have a little fun with the situation. He’s already got the backing of Valkyrae as she said she’s inviting him to anything she can do moving forward, as Toast had some sage praise for her rise.

Disguised Toast says he’s taking a break from Among Us content for lots of reasons Disguised Toast / InnerSlothPopular streamer Disguised Toast is one of the biggest Among Us players, but he’s revealed that he’s “not excited” by the game anymore and will be slowing down his content. Despite being released back in 2018, Among Us became one of the biggest multiplayer success stories of 2020. Millions of gamers, both casual and hardcore, have downloaded the game in an attempt to figure out who is “sus” on The Skeld. One of the major reasons for its success was the number of streamers getting involved. Disguised Toast has been one of the biggest names associated with the game, often teaming up with fellow streamers like Valkyrae, Corpse, and Sykkuno for plenty of memorable moments. But now, after months of playing the game almost non-stop, Toast has revealed that he is simply “not excited” by the game anymore, and will be “slowing down” his Among Us content from now on. Toast is “slowing down” Among Us content In a Twitch stream on Thursday, 22 April, Toast opened up about his experience with the game. He explained that, after playing Among Us for so many months, he doesn’t find the game exciting anymore and has run out of ways to keep it fresh. Read More: Toast explains why he refuses to play GTA RP – “Among Us isn’t that popular, and honestly when I think about playing Among Us, I’m not excited. I like playing with my friends, I enjoy that social aspect, and honestly, I think the viewers enjoy the social aspect, getting to see how someone lies,” he said. “It’s just that all the different scenarios that can come up in Among Us, have [already] come up. Every backstab, every lie, every strategy… I can’t come up with anything new anymore. There are only so many ways I can say, ‘It wasn’t me’.” It’s understandable that Toast is becoming fatigued. While the game still has a large fanbase, it doesn’t have the regular updates and huge amounts of content that other popular multiplayer games like Warzone, GTA Online, and Apex Legends do. “So I’m probably slowing down the Among Us content, and honestly it’s been a long time coming,” he continued. “The new map came out, [but] you can’t really change up the core gameplay of it.” Read More: Jon Zherka explains his Twitch ban – While he did appear to suggest that making the game “a little more complicated” with something like special roles could tempt him back, it seems as though Toast is ready to reduce his Among Us content. As for what’s next, Disguised Toast followed up his comments by saying that he “likes the idea of playing Minecraft with the right people”, but we’ll have to wait and see if that becomes his main focus.

CouRage baits Pokimane on Among Us with 200IQ name trick Innersloth / CouRage / PokimanePopular YouTuber Jack ‘CouRage’ Dunlop pulled off a clever name change technique in Among Us, baiting fellow streamer Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys into revealing herself as an imposter with this hilarious trick. [jwplayer mfcRpjb4] Among Us has blown up on streaming platforms like Twitch and YouTube in recent months, as many of the biggest creators in gaming have now tried their hand at the popular party title. While Among Us started out as a fun game to play with friends, players are now starting to find unique tricks that can give them an advantage over their opponents and YouTube star CouRageJD revealed one example of this in a recent broadcast. The role of an impostor can be a difficult one to pilot in Among Us, as players are required to eliminate as many crewmates as possible and sabotage the ship, all while remaining undetected. While there are plenty of tools and strategies to counter the imposters, such as using the cameras or grouping up when completing tasks, a new strategy that involves changing your in-game name has been revealed, making it even harder to back-stab your friends. Courage shared a clip of this tactic, revealing that his plan was to use his shortened name to his advantage, by blending in with the satellite tower he was standing behind. https://twitter.com/couragejd/status/1322389321270218752?s=21 “Changed my name on Among Us to just the letter ‘I’,” he explained, highlighting how difficult it was to spot him, and with Lazarbeam as his bait, he simply waited for an impostor to make their move. Unfortunately for Pokimane, she fell right for this trap, attacking Lazarbeam after it appeared to be safe and revealing herself as the impostor in the match. Courage instantly popped out of where he was hiding, reporting her actions, and could not help but burst into laughter as he was accusing Pokimane to win the match for his remaining crewmates. While hilarious Among Us tricks such as this one will eventually become well known and won’t be as effective, they can still be worth trying to turn the tides in a match.

Disguised Toast explains why he wants to start playing Among Us again Disguised Toast / InnerslothPopular streamer Jeremy ‘Disguised Toast’ Wang has given his thoughts on Among Us and why he misses playing the social deduction game. Among Us continues to be a popular game amongst streamers and players who want to play games with a large group of friends. It’s this social aspect that helps keeps the game from getting stale, but after nearly a year of consistent videos, Disguised Toast has dropped the game in favor of new ventures. While he may not upload Among Us content daily, the streaming star does occasionally enjoy going back to the game. During a recent stream, Disguised Toast gave his thoughts on Among Us and explained why he wants to start playing it again. This certainly came as a surprise to fans as he officially ended his Among Us streams May 1. Since then, Toast has been busy playing GTA RP and hanging out with his audience in Twitch’s Just Chatting streams. Despite his recent move from Among Us content, Toast has provided insights into future content surrounding the game. Disguised Toast misses Among Us During a recent stream, Toast joined the likes of Sykkuno, Valkyrae, and Corpse Husband to play some Among Us. Despite being away for a number of months, the streamer appeared to be indifferent about the game. “I’m having fun, like socializing,” said Toast. “Maybe Among Us can be a game that we play once a month, maybe that’s how we do Among Us.” Read More: Valkyrae explains why she misses Among Us – This is obviously a huge difference from Toast’s daily Among Us uploads, but it will be a welcomed one for fans of the social deduction game. However, Toast did give his opinions on why he misses doing Among Us streams, but it’s not for the reason most fans would think: “I do miss playing in a group of people, but I don’t miss the gameplay. I think it’s great for meeting new people, it’s a great icebreaker.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNsKSpjBmuU The social aspect of Among Us has always been a big draw for many Among Us players, but there’s no denying that the game can get stale, especially when you play with the same group of people. “I wouldn’t mind playing it with a lot of new people and the same lobby,” said Toast. “As far as actual gameplay goes, when you play with people you know too well, it’s just not as intense. “It’s probably best not to play too much and to play with a different crowd. Finding a new game is what I want.” Quite what this “new game” will be still remains a mystery, but either way, fans will be happy to see Toast interacting with streamers no matter what he plays next.

Among Us is getting a new art style, 15-player lobbies & more in next update InnerslothThe developers of Among Us have announced a huge, brand-new update for the extremely popular multiplayer game, confirming that it’ll be getting support for a higher number of players per lobby and even a revamped art style. If you still love Among Us and are craving for some new content, then there’s some pretty big features coming. Among Us developer Innersloth have revealed exactly what’s going to be coming with the game’s next major update – and while it doesn’t currently have a release date, it’s sure to excite longtime fans. The first update on the list is the long-awaited 15-player lobbies, which is a pretty sizable increase compared to the current version. Right now, Among Us supports a max of ten players per lobby, so having the ability to get five extra players is going to be pretty appealing. In addition, a new art style is also coming to the game. Previously, Innersloth stated that this new art style would have “cleaner lines” and an “easier animation process,” but so far we haven’t seen exactly what this means. Both the 15-player lobbies and art style were previously revealed when the game’s Airship map was added, but now we know that they’ll be coming in the very next update. On a lesser-note, it’s also been confirmed that the game will be getting new player colors. While this isn’t a massive addition, it is nice to see that the devs are even supporting smaller features. in case u didn’t know, here’s what we’re planning for the next big update! ⭐️ 15 player lobbies ⭐️ new player colors ⭐️ improved art stylealso!! bug fixes and more improvements coming too, thank u for your patience 🙏 we’re finally catching up yeeeeeeeeeeeee pic.twitter.com/0rZkgeKq4o — Among Us (@AmongUsGame) April 20, 2021 Unfortunately, there’s no telling exactly when this update will be officially coming out. Considering that the Airship update was just released on March 31, 2021, fans will more than likely have to wait a little bit longer before they can get their hands on this new drop. Here’s hoping that Innersloth continues with the transparent updates regarding the game and that even more content is coming in the very near future.

Among Us and Jeopardy have crossed over, and the internet is “sus” about it Innersloth / Wikimedia CommonsThe word “sus” is not an Among Us creation, but its wide slung adoption within gaming communities is owed single-handedly to the Innersloth hit. It’s now reaching new audiences too, getting air time on the small screen with beloved gameshow Jeopardy. Among Us can now take its place in the lofty halls of Jeopardy fame. Gaming isn’t necessarily a new topic on the hit quiz show which has run for over three decades, with heavyweights like Skyrim, Fortnite and Sonic used as questions previously. Now, the multiplayer blame-fest has proven its mark on society by being included as part of a question on the gameshow. In full, the question reads “Slang adjective for someone you think is not what they seem, especially if they might be the imposter in the game “Among Us”. Following the ‘answer as a question’ format Jeopardy runs under, lead to only one conceivable answer for contestant Mattea. “What is Sus?” remarked the gameshow player, allowing them to further extend a healthy lead that had been building up throughout the game to that point. Read More: How many people play Among Us? – Comments on Twitter and YouTube have exploded with humorous takes, and a sense of pride from seeing the game referenced on such a prominent stage. The social media team behind the Among Us Twitter made swift use of the moment, getting stuck into comments and retweets with fans. “Congrats to all of us” the official page Tweeted. Users, however, were quick to correct them to “all of sus.” Although the vast amount of commentary was positive, pot shots were also taken at the game: “Among us has officially peaked, there’s no way to top this.” The sentiment is shared by the social team too, with them ready to kick their feet up and just “retire”. While it’s not the most ground-breaking crossover — and not the first for Among Us either — the interaction does show how gaming culture is slowly intertwining with the rest of the world, even if the questions are sometimes a bit “sus”.

Among Us now available on Nintendo Switch with cross-platform play InnerslothAmong Us is going live on consoles, with the hit mobile and PC title being ported onto the Nintendo Switch. Innersloth have also revealed the new release will have cross-platform play with its PC and mobile compatriots. Among Us is finally hitting consoles. After months of players demanding more access to the hit game, Innersloth’s party classic is finally arriving on the Nintendo Switch. The developers announced the game was going live, effective immediately, on the Nintendo eShop on December 15. SURPRISE!!! ✨ Among Us is out NOW on the Nintendo Switch ✨ 🚀 Cross platform play 🚀 Online and local multiplayer 🚀 Play at home or on the go as you jet off into space with your crewmates 💔 So… much… betrayal…Get it here: https://t.co/DMlOCguSbO pic.twitter.com/l3fbtnvl3B — Among Us (@AmongUsGame) December 15, 2020 How much does Among Us on Nintendo Switch cost? Among Us on the Nintendo Switch is unfortunately not a free title. However, it won’t break the bank too much. The game itself costs $5 USD on the eShop, making it the same price as the PC version. There is no physical copy. However, players will be required to pay a subscription fee for Nintendo Online to access the online multiplayer function. You can sign up for a 7-day free trial, but after that, it’ll cost you $3.99 USD for one month, or $19.99 USD for the whole year. How to play Among Us cross-play on the Nintendo Switch You don’t really even have to lift up a finger to cross-play with your PC or mobile friends on Among Us. The game is automatically integrated with cross-play, so you can join any lobby as long as you have the code. Read more: New Among Us map “The Airship” revealed – Even better, if you are on the same Wi-Fi network, you can play local multiplayer with up to nine others as well. You won’t need a Nintendo Online subscription to use local multiplayer. As for cross-progression, that remains to be seen. Given each client uses a different log-in system, there’s no way to transfer unlocked items between platforms. The Among Us Nintendo Switch version will be updated on the same schedule as the PC and mobile versions. This means players will get access to the new map, Airship, when it drops in early 2021. Any future new content will also be pushed out onto all platforms at the same time, and you can still take advantage of promotions like Twitch Drops if you link your accounts together.

Among Us to finally release new Airship map: patch date, first look, more InnerSlothThe Among Us community are finally getting a new map from Innersloth after months of waiting, and patient players are getting rewarded with the biggest map in the game to date, for free. The online multiplayer social deduction game once took Twitch and the livestreaming community by storm with thousands swarming the indie title that originally released back in 2018. Since then, its viral popularity has also brought with it an insatiable audience who want new ways to dupe, deceive, and lure crew members into the jaws of the Imposters. Ever since teasing The Airship in early December 2020, there’s been a huge wave of anticipation for players who’ve been craving a new map for the game. Among Us: The Airship release date After months of silence, InnerSloth finally released a complete look at the upcoming Airship map that’s going to be released at the end of the month. Along with a trailer for the new map, the devs announced that the free update will be launching on March 31, 2021, leaving fans with just a few weeks before it gets pushed to the live servers. Among Us: The Airship update The Airship is going to give people the ability to actually start in the room the want to when the game starts. This is just one of the many updates people can expect when the patch rolls through later Like they’ve said before, InnerSloth was taken completely by surprise with the spike in Among Us popularity. As such they even canceled Among Us 2 in lieu of improving the base game. After addressing everything from maintenance and the day-to-day of working in a surprise hit, the devs are now ready to launch the game’s fourth map. The download size of the Airship update has yet to be announced. Among Us: The Airship rooms Although we don’t have a complete map breakdown of the new locale just yet, we’ve been able to see a few names in the trailer. Cockpit – Vault – Brig – Security – Medical – Meeting Room – Gap Room – Cells – Engine Room – Records – Main Hall – Kitchen – We’re also waiting to see all the tasks in the new Airship map, but we don’t have to wait long at all to find out. Among Us The Airship update is expected to release on March 31, and will likely be received with a ton of players making a trip back to the game.

Among Us VR is even more intense than the original game VR_JarAmong Us is still as popular as ever, but a fan-made version on VR Chat looks even more intense than the original. It brings the same atmosphere and gameplay to life in a 3D world, making the game of cat-and-mouse between imposters and crewmates all the more compelling. [jwplayer A31xovMT] Among Us exploded in popularity earlier this year after being around for more than two years already. It’s become one of the most-viewed games on Twitch, with hundreds of thousands of viewers tuning in each day to watch their favorite streamers engage in a battle of wits. It has even transcended gaming in the sense that anyone can pick up and play. Earlier this week, US Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez broke the internet when she played Among Us in a lobby filled with popular streamers including Imane ‘Pokimane’ Anys and Ali ‘Myth’ Kabbani. Among Us comes to life in 3D in VR Chat mod It’s not hard to see why so many people love the game. However, a fan-made version on VR Chat looks like an absolute treat. It might even be more intense than the original. The best part is, it’s a fully-immersive 3D recreation. Jar, a VR developer who created the project, said, “Yes, this is a playable multiplayer game with all the interactive tasks, combat, and even astronaut avatars.” “You can actually interact with all the tasks using your hands, like connecting wires, pulling levers, and swiping cards!” Of course, it’s not all about the crewmates and their tasks. Imposters need some love too. Fortunately, it sounds like they’ll be able to do all of their usual shenanigans, which makes the game what it is. “As the impostor, [you can] sneak up on people when they aren’t looking behind them,” said Jar. “You can also crawl through the vents and sabotage the ship just like in the original game.” The trailer only lasts a little more than a minute. Still, it shows everything from crewmates and a well-detailed map to emergency meetings, tasks, kills, vent-sneaking, and of course, players accusing one another in a heated discussion. All in all, it looks like an absolute blast. It’s a dream come true for many who have longed to see Among Us come to life in a 3D world. However, the best part is that it’s free-to-play, even for those who don’t have a VR headset. If you’re interested in checking it out, you can download it by following the link here. Keep in mind, though, that it’s entirely fan-made and not an official InnerSloth product. But it’s still an extraordinary re-creation of Among Us from a developer who knows what they’re doing. It looks like an exciting take on the game we all know and love.

Among Us wants indie game crossover as Undertale creator responds Among Us Game/Twitter/XThe Among Us developers are dropping huge hints about an indie game crossover, which could include Undertale, A Hat in Time, and Untitled Goose Game. Among Us is incredibly cheap to buy, but players can support the developers by buying cosmetic items, such as skins, pets, and hats. These provide no gameplay advantage and are just there to let the players stand out. The Among Us cosmetics have allowed for crossovers, with items based on League of Legends, Hololive, Destiny 2, and Halo. Similarly, the Among Us crewmates have appeared in other games, including the fighting game Fraymakers, where they could be summoned as a support character. Among Us crewmates are certainly ripe for crossover potential, which might soon be expanding even further, either with more cosmetics or perhaps a brand-new title featuring indie darlings from multiple genres. Among Us devs are hinting at indie crossover A strange message on the official Among Us Twitter/X account by developer InnerSloth hints at some kind of indie game crossover. The fact that it’s on the Among Us account suggests that it could be cosmetics based on different indie titles. The image in the tweet features silhouettes of characters who fans have identified as the protagonists from Celeste, A Hat in Time, and Untitled Goose Game. The crossover might also include characters from one of the most prominent indie games of all time, as Toby Fox, the creator of Undertale and Deltarune, also commented on the tweet. Undertale is no stranger to crossovers, so an appearance by Frisk, Kris, Sans, or Suzie wouldn’t be too surprising. While the tweet is most likely referring to cosmetics in Among Us, there’s also a chance that it could refer to a brand-new game. There have been several attempts at indie crossover games in the past (like the previously mentioned Fraymakers), so the Among Us devs might be developing the next one. An official announcement about the nature of this Among Us crossover may be made in the next few weeks, as The Game Awards 2023 is due to take place on December 8, and that’s where most of the big end-of-year reveals tend to take place.

Among Us devs reveal Among Us 2 plans that were ultimately scrapped InnerSlothAmong Us developers Innersloth explained why Among Us 2 never became a reality and just how far along they were with the game before deciding to ditch it. Innersloth’s Among Us became incredibly popular back in 2020, despite releasing in June 2018. With popular Twitch streamers such as Pokimane and Disguised Toast shining a light on the game, it seemed like a sequel was guaranteed to arrive. Now, four years after launching the game on Android, the developers have shared their insight on why Among Us 2 never arrived. Among Us devs didn’t “get far” with Among Us 2 planning Developers Innersloth invited players to ask questions via Reddit on June 15, prompting Redditor Moon_Chirp to ask about Among Us 2. The player asked: “how far did you get into development of Among Us 2 before you decided to cancel it and focus on the first game?” Despite rumors stating the team had begun development in August 2020, Innersloth co-founder Marcus Bromander stepped in to offer an update: “Not very far at all. It was only in planning mode.” Fellow developer FWFB elaborated on Bromander’s statement too, saying: “We didn’t really start at all. Pretty much just brainstorming what would need to go in to make Among Us 2 interesting. Puffballs has mentioned some other stuff like picking up items. Roles was a big thing. That kinda stuff.” Comment byu/innerslothdevs from discussion inAmongUs While Among Us 2 is off the table, the devs did suggest a “youth-friendly” version of the game could arrive after replying to Redditor GDJT: “I wouldn’t put it out of the question. We’ve had ideas for a mode like this before.” “It kind of shows that we didn’t plan for our audience to be quite so young that there’s a baseline level of murder and lying.” For now, Innersloth is working on a VR port of the first game.

Among Us devs reveal they abandoned party game before viral success InnerslothAmong Us has been one of the breakout hits of the last couple of years, but its devs have revealed a shocking detail that could have derailed the game’s success. 2020 will go down as one of the most bizarre years in recent memory, but something that benefitted from that period of time was Among Us – Innersloth’s detective multiplayer party game. It became an absolute sensation on Twitch as pretty much every streamer seemed to be playing Among Us for hours on end. However, Marcus Bromander, co-founder of the Innersloth development team, declared that the team actually abandoned the game completely before it blew up. Among Us was nearly canceled Bromander discussed the process for Among Us back in 2019 on Overcome’s ‘Visionaries’ podcast and explained how one of the game’s updates was supposed to be the final one. “At the start of 2019, we had put out our third map and had done enough bug fixes, the game functioned and we were like “alright, that’s it, no more, time to work on something else. Then when Among Us took off again we were like we should ride the wave,” he said. Bromander explained how instead of working on Among Us 2, he wanted to expand upon the original game by providing updates to flesh out the experience. “One of the things we always did was when we were thinking of a feature that didn’t quite fit in so that we would save it for Among Us 2. So now with all these eyes, we started thinking ok, is it time to think about that again? I’m like, should we do Among Us 2? Or should we update the game that everyone is already playing? And that’s what we ended up settling with,” Bromander added. It’s clear that the 2020 boom and surge in players and viewing figures gave Innersloth the confidence to put their new projects on hold and resume Among Us content – a decision that worked out very well. It became an absolute sensation on Twitch and every man and his dog seemed to play Among Us. The game still boasts a ridiculous player count even now and there is even an official VR adaptation on the way.

Among Us hackers targeted as InnerSloth rush out emergency hotfix InnerSloth / YouTube: DroopyBearInnerSloth, the developers of Among Us, have announced that they will be pushing an emergency server update after floods of reports from users that hackers have begun plaguing the game. While indie social deduction game Among Us was first released in 2018, it experienced an unexpected lease of life in 2020, on a colossal scale. In September the game surpassed 100 million downloads, and has spread to every corner of the internet, with many huge personalities streaming the game most recently including AOC a.k.a Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a popular American politician. The extreme flip from quiet indie game to global hit has naturally come with its challenges, and the dev team has been trying their utmost to deal with the vulnerabilities that come alongside such unexpected demand. One such vulnerability is the presence of hackers in the game. People have encountered varying levels of hacking including having their skins removed and spawning outside of the map, which seems to be as a result of hackers using mods in public lobbies. Most recently, players have been experiencing a bout of hacking seemingly from one individual named Eric Loris, who takes control of the chat and forces every member to repeat the same message to “subscribe to Eric Loris on YouTube (or I hack your device.)” This is what happened to me in the server pic.twitter.com/jr5lVoySkI — ❈ 𝒟𝒾𝒶𝒷𝓁𝑜 ❈ (@HomeGirlV1) October 23, 2020 InnerSloth take action against hackers As reports increased, InnerSloth were forced to take action to prevent the problem from getting worse. On Twitter they said “we’re are super duper aware of the current hacking issue and we’re looking into it.” Hello everyone, We’re are super duper aware of the current hacking issue and we’re looking into it. We will be pushing out an emergency server update so people who are in game will get kicked from games. Please play private games or with people that you trust!!! Bare with us!! 😰— Innersloth 🦥 (@InnerslothDevs) October 23, 2020 They announced that they “will be pushing out an emergency server update so people who are in game will get kicked from games,” but for the time being encouraged players to “please play private games or with people that you trust!” Developer Forest stated in his own tweets that the reason it’s taken until now to roll the update out now is because he “was afraid of false positives.” He explained that “you totally might see the game think you’re hacking when you’re not. I’ve done my best to find this kind of bug, but my hand is forced this time.” So yeah. I’m rolling out the server update. I’m using a faster method than I’ve done before, but it’ll impact players more. Trying to be careful, but also, you might get booted. It’s for the greater good at this point. Consider it an “”emergency maintenance for ??? hours”” — Forest (@forte_bass) October 23, 2020 Also worth nothing that the reason I didn’t roll this update out sooner is that I was afraid of false positives: You totally might see the game think you’re hacking when you’re not. I’ve done my best to find this kind of bug, but my hand is forced this time. — Forest (@forte_bass) October 23, 2020 It is hoped that this emergency update will put an end to, or at least dramatically decrease the number of hackers in the game. Not only that, but allow the game to continue to prosper as it has done so far this year.

Among Us reveals new Hide n Seek game mode: Details, release date InnerslothDuring The Game Awards 2022, Among Us revealed a brand new game mode: Hide n Seek. Here is everything to know regarding the new mode. Among Us typically has one or two an imposter who remains anonymous, essentially mirroring the game Mafia. But for Hide n Seek, the brand new game mode revealed by the developers, the killer is visible by all, providing a completely different way of playing the game. The initial announcement for the new Among Us game mode was made during The Game Awards 2022, with Innersloth revealing the release date in a Twitter post immediately after the public reveal. The release date for Among Us Hide n Seek on December 9, 2022, and will come out on all platforms. According to the post, this will be their “biggest update this year!” Expect more content, outside of Hide n Seek, to join Among Us, including new cosmetics, new pets, a screaming function, and even the ability to pet your pets. The developers have more planned outside of these new features, which they’re planning on keeping secret for a while. The exact mechanics surrounding the new update and game mode are still a mystery. Expect this article be updated once the update officially comes out, and the mysteries are uncovered by the public.

Among Us Hololive collaboration revealed: VTubers involved, release date Hololive / Innersloth GamesAmong Us is getting a Hololive crossover with the VTubing giant taking over the popular party game. A number of the agency’s top VTubers will be involved with new crewmate skins in-game — here’s what you need to know. As far as party games go, Among Us has topped the charts over the last couple of years. Because of that, it’s no surprise Hololive VTubers have dabbled in it with mega collab streams, each star trying to out each other as the imposter. Now the two worlds are colliding with an official Among Us collaboration with Hololive now revealed — and it means being able to play as your favorite VTuber in-game. Here’s what you need to know.

A new Cosmicube has been released including individual outfits and hats for the Hololive VTubers. There is also little visor add-ons featuring little mascots for those involved in the collaboration. Each Cosmicube costs players 110 Stars, meaning you’ll need 3300 Stars to get the whole collection. Hololive VTubers involved in Among Us collaboration As mentioned before, there’s 10 Hololive VTuber silhouettes in the Among Us post about the collaboration. Now they’ve all been confirmed — and most of the guesses were right on the money. A mixture of English, Indonesian, and Japanese talents are being added into the game. This includes Gawr Gura, who did her best to at least deny her presence before the full reveal: “Who could that be? That looks nothing like me! I don’t know who any of these possible crewmates could possibly be. That could just be a generic something.” Fan favorites like Usada Pekora, Houshou Marine, and Amelia Watson are also in there. You can find the full list of Hololive VTubers involved in the Among Us collaboration below — and keep your eyes peeled for a collab stream involving all 10. Moona Hoshinova – Inugami Korone – Shirakami Fubuki – Amelia Watson – Houshou Marine – Ookami Mio – Gawr Gura – Ayunda Risu – Usada Pekora – Nekomata Okayu – Among Us Hololive collaboration release date The Among Us Hololive collaboration is now live in game as of September 20, 2022.

Among Us in first-person with realistic graphics looks awesome to play Innersloth/Fat DinoWhile the extremely popular multiplayer game Among Us is known for its simple gameplay and cartoony design, one YouTuber named Fat Dino has recreated the title in Unreal Engine on PC, and the graphics are absolutely insane. Among Us has a very unique art style. While the gameplay in-and-of-itself is fun, its cartoony design is extremely recognizable, with most gamers more than likely being able to identify it very easily by just seeing one of the character models. But what if you could play the hit multiplayer game with some incredibly realistic graphics and a first-person perspective to match? One YouTuber, named Fat Dino, shows off what that could possibly be like in a brand new video. In fact, he’s recreated a significant portion Skeld map from Among Us with Unreal Engine on PC. Fat Dino used a free sci-fi model pack on the Unreal Engine marketplace in order to help recreate the map, while the astronaut suits and character models were seemingly made from scratch. The result is absolutely incredible. Not only does the game look insanely realistic with its new graphics and perspective change, but it ends up keeping the core concept of Among Us intact. In addition to explaining how he created the game, Fat Dino also showed off some raw multiplayer gameplay from the project. One of the more hilarious moments comes when he’s playing as the imposter and kills another player. Rather than having a whole animation, it seems like the character simply gets cut in half and falls to the ground without any fanfare. All in all, this recreation is insanely impressive and, aside from the right hand side of the map, seems to be a perfect 1-to-1 recreation of the Skeld map from Among Us. Right now, the game isn’t available to download. According to Fat Dino, this is due to the fact that not only would he have to host a dedicated server for it but it’s also not legal. Even though they seem like a chill team, it’s easy to see the developers at Innersloth not liking this very much, as it’s basically just a recreation of their title with a different perspective and texture pack. Here’s hoping, however, that fans are able to get their hands on this recreation in some way because it would be a shame if it never saw the light of day.

Among Us dev reveals plans for player accounts, new map, and more InnerslothInnersloth has been hard at work trying to make the Among Us experience even better than it already is, and one developer revealed player accounts and a new map are in the works, as well as some other bits and pieces.[jwplayer Y7PB7YwV] Among Us was somewhat successful when it first launched. However, it wasn’t until two years later that it surged into the powerhouse that is today. It generates hundreds of thousands of views on Twitch on a daily basis and even became a political platform. In the peak of the game’s rise in popularity, Innersloth announced a sequel which was then subsequently canceled. The developers ultimately decided to focus on improving the original game instead. Since then, they’ve made some tweaks and changes to improve the overall experience. Now, a developer has revealed the next batch, and even elaborated on some plans for the future. Player Accounts Among Us has been plagued with cheating and hacking in recent months. In an effort to stamp it out, the developer said they’re planning to add player accounts to the game. “We’re hoping to get accounts into the game by December,” he said. “This will allow players to report accounts that are toxic and/or hacking.” “They may be a bit barebones at first,” he added. “But things like friends lists will also come at a later date after launch.” It won’t solve the problem entirely, but it will make it harder for cheaters and hackers to run rampant. New Map Among Us players have wanted a new map for quite some time now, and it seems like they’re finally going to get it. It’s set to be the biggest map of them all, which is exciting. Naturally, that means it will introduce some new tasks as well. “We’re hard at work on a new map,” said the developer. “This map is currently looking bigger than Polus! The map will contain plenty of new tasks and will be available for free to all players!” Language Translation Among Us is also set to receive a handy language translation feature. It’s not as ground-breaking as the other planned features. However, it is a nice touch for those who need it. “The game is currently only translated into a few languages (and some of those translations are a bit rough),” said the developer. “We’re planning on getting professional translations into multiple languages.” In addition to opening up about the future plans for Among Us, he also provided the details on a small update, which is now live. Here’s a full list of the patch notes. Among Us patch notes Added Anonymous Voting option All votes appear as grey – – Added Task Bar Modes Always mode works like normal – Meeting mode only updates the bar during meetings – Invisible mode removes the task bar entirely – – MIRA: Comms sabotage clears the security logs – Added symbols to fix wires task – Added cosmetics to meeting screen – Various bug fixes –

Among Us characters list (2024): All characters, color differences & more InnerslothThe Among Us characters are a colorful bunch of spacemen, but how many are there? And is there any difference between them? Among Us is an addictive online multiplayer game that allows players to work together to solve problems and flush out an imposter hiding within their ranks. Each character in the game is a little colorful spaceman and players will need to work as a team to work out which one of them is secretly (or overtly) trying to sabotage them and their spaceship. As the game is designed to be played by multiple people at once, each of the Among Us characters is assigned a different color to tell them apart from the rest. Here’s every character you can choose in Among Us and if there’s any differences between each of them. Every Among Us character You can pick between 12 different Among Us characters, each with their own individual color: Black – Blue – Brown – Cyan – Green – Lime – Orange – Pink – Purple – Red – White – Yellow – Each little spaceman represents you as the player as your avatar. This is true of all players, including the imposter. Is there any difference between Among Us characters? No. In truth, every Among Us character is the same, the only difference between them is the color they correspond to. None of them have any unique skills or abilities because of their color. Therefore, when picking your avatar, simply pick the color you like most and don’t worry about any individual differences between them – beyond aesthetics of course. So that’s all you need to know about the differences between Among Us characters.

Among Us chicken nugget from McDonald’s BTS meal sells for $100k on Ebay Among Us / EbayIf there are two things that have gone massively viral in 2021, it’s Among Us and the McDonald’s BTS meal. Well, in the strangest crossover you’re likely to see for the rest of the year, an Among Us-shaped chicken nugget from the combo has sold for nearly $100,000. Yes, you read that right. Among Us, released in 2018, took over YouTube and Twitch with an influx of the biggest content creators – from Valkyrae to KSI. In the game, players are tasked with finding the imposter. In an unlikely turn of events, somebody has visited McDonald’s to pick up the new BTS meal and found an imposter in their box of McNuggets. An Among Us-shaped chicken bite has been found and listed to eBay. In a matter of days, bids surpassed an astonishing $50,000 and if you thought that was as far as people were going to go, you’d be very wrong. Among Us nugget from McDonald’s BTS meal goes viral The listing ended on June 4, with the buyer scooping it for $99,997. For the sale, this (presumably cold) nugget is not available for returns. The condition is “Used” and it will be shipped with USPS First Class. Having read through the product description, there are a few other things to note. “This food product has an average expiration of about 14 days and will be delivered prior to expiration. “Item will be Frozen and then Air sealed to ensure freshness with secure shipping method.” The official Among Us account responded to the listing back on June 2, and the price spiked massively since that post. The auction has, though, since concluded. there’s a $34,443.43 among us chicken nugget on sale and i don’t know how to feel about it??? but also?? i want ithttps://t.co/9I02dtWdmf pic.twitter.com/uf3bRe6dDE — Among Us (@AmongUsGame) June 1, 2021 Xbox responds In a cheeky response, Xbox posted: “For that price it must come with Szechuan Sauce.” The listing, which had over 800 different potential buyers watching it, was shipped from Utah, in the United States. To see something like this sell for over $100,000 is crazy, but at least eating too much McDonald’s during lockdown paid off for at least one of us. You could buy a house for that amount.

Among Us confirmed for PS4 and PS5 – includes free Ratchet and Clank items Innersloth/PlayStationDuring the April 29th State of Play, developer Innersloth confirmed that Among Us is coming to both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 in 2021. It also includes free Ratchet and Clank cosmetics. If you’ve been patiently waiting for Among Us to come to PlayStation consoles then your time is quickly approaching. While PlayStation’s State of Play livestream on April 29, 2021, was primarily focused on Sony’s upcoming Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, developer Innersloth announced early on in the conference that Among Us is making its way to both PS4 and PS5 in 2021. As expected, the game will support online multiplayer as well as crossplay between all the versions of the game when it launches. Currently, Among Us is available on PC and mobile devices, with the plan for it to launch on Xbox’s family on consoles later in the year. Gameplay for the PlayStation-version was also shown and needless to say it looks pretty similar to the other versions already released. In a fitting announcement considering the focus of the State of Play, Innersloth also confirmed that the PlayStation version of the game will come with an exclusive Ratchet and Clank-themed skin, hat, and pet. The skin features one of the Among Us astronauts with Ratchet’s ears and Clank as a pet. 🌟 AMONG US – COMING TO PLAYSTATION 🌟 get ready to welcome a whole new crew on board!! ✨ on PS4 and PS5 consoles later this year ✨ exclusive Ratchet & Clank skin, hat, and pet ✨ crossplay and online multiplayertell your friends but more importantly.. tell your enemies heh pic.twitter.com/E6BduFfNwU — Among Us (@AmongUsGame) April 29, 2021 Unfortunately, both the price and specific release date were not confirmed, although if the former follows the pricing on other platforms, it should cost somewhere around $5. Just recently the game launched a brand-new update that included a map and other content, and while not confirmed, this content will more than likely be available in the game whenever it launches. Here’s hoping that Among Us hits the consoles soon, as fans have been eagerly awaiting its arrival for months.

Among Us cosplayer Danielle DeNicola takes sus to a new level A popular Twitch streamer has taken a very unique approach to an Among Us cosplay, and it’s getting some serious attention on Twitter. [jwplayer fX6Y5CKS] Among Us has certainly created a very unique legacy, with the tiny little astronaut characters becoming iconic in both the gaming universe and beyond. The popular party game has become a gaming classic, being streamed by everyone from YouTubers like Corpse Husband to political figures such as Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. If Halloween was going ahead as normal this year, it’s pretty clear that thousands of tiny spacemen and spacewomen would be knocking upon their neighbour’s doors demanding candy in exchange for a tired joke. However, just as Halloween isn’t quite as everyone expected this year, cosplay queen and Twitch streamer Danielle DeNicola interesting approach to her Among Us cosplay is pretty unexpected too. https://twitter.com/daniellednicola/status/1320518525556035584 Popular cosplayer and Twitch streamer Danielle DeNicola has created cosplay magic with her more lewd approach to the iconic Among Us spacesuit, sporting a cut out metallic blue bodysuit and matching space helmet. Her back is adorned with the backpack that has become so synonymous with the game, visible behind a wealth of blond locks. While the Twitter video is only a snippet of a longer version, which is exclusive to Patreon, the artistry in the cosplay’s tiny details is evident. It’s clear as day that Danielle knows her craft and executes it flawlessly. Twitter and Instagram react With Danielle’s teaser trailer garnering an impressed 2.2k likes and a surge of comments and retweets, Danielle’s cosplay certainly blew up the Twitter sphere. However, her Instagram showing is equally as impressive.

Halloween is back So, while Halloween seems impossible due to the current global situation, Danielle has brought the fun of cosplay back into the spotlight.

His next job was at games website IGN where Chris kicked off their Film and TV coverage.

Here, you’ll find all of our policies on NDAs and embargoes, reviews, conflicts of interest, sourcing, and corrections and updates. NDAs & embargoes Dexerto aims to be a leading authority in entertainment. To bring our audience trustworthy information and produce expert content on the latest games, TV & movies, and tech in a timely fashion, we are often required to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). These agreements between Dexerto and a company specify that we will not reveal certain information about a product before a certain date, and they enable us to prepare content in advance. This could be breaking news as it happens, a comprehensive review ahead of the release date, or expert guides to help our readers to get the most out of their new game, a movie or the latest tech. We do not break NDAs, but as a global media organization we will not sign an NDA that lifts after a product has been released in another territory. We will never change our opinion of a product because we have signed an NDA that has given us earlier access than other websites or publications. Reviews and reviewers Dexerto’s critics have years of experience reviewing games, TV shows, movies, and tech with bylines in IGN, Tech Radar, Time Out amongst others. Their passion for the subject matter stretches back even further, with our writers having grown up playing the latest console and PC games, watching new blockbusters in the cinema, and tinkering with the latest gadgets. As a result, they can be trusted to critically assess the positives and negatives of the product they are given to review and inform you whether it is worth your time and money. You may not always agree with their opinions, but whether it’s a new Call of Duty game, the latest Marvel show, or a high-end graphics card, you can be sure that they will be justified. We often get access to games, tech, TV shows, and movies ahead of release. This enables us to bring you a timely review ahead of release so that you know whether you should spend your money or time on it. We aren’t always granted that opportunity, though, and we sometimes get access at the same time as everyone else. When that happens, we take the time to produce a thorough review – whether we get early access or not, it doesn’t affect our writers’ opinions of a product. Sometimes we will also produce a review in progress. For example, if we are only given early access to the Campaign mode of Call of Duty, we will begin a review in progress so that you will know whether the single-player version of the game is worth playing before it is released. However, because the multiplayer is such an important component of a modern FPS, we won’t publish the full review with a score until we have properly tested it on live servers with other players. We will never rush a review to get a score out as soon as possible. Games are often updated with patches that fix bugs or alter parts of the game. While we do not update our reviews of games and adjust the scores after each patch or minor adjustment, we do review new seasons of some big live service games when substantial changes are made that completely change the game. We will always endeavor to keep readers updated if changes have been made that alter our opinion of a game that is of significant interest to our audience. The Review Process Our editors know our writers better than anyone. As soon as we have access to a product, they will assign the review to someone who has the most expertise in that area. For example, a horror fan will be best placed to review a new horror film, a Pokemon fan will be able to assess how the new games compare to previous generations, whilst only someone with deep knowledge of graphics cards and benchmarking will be able to say confidently whether a $1000+ piece of kit should be bought. Any writer with a close personal relationship with someone in the company that makes a new product that is being critiqued will not be able to write the review. After the reviewer is chosen, they will then take the time necessary to form an opinion on whatever product they are reviewing and give it a score out of 5. The review will then be checked by an editor to ensure that there are no errors and that the score has been justified in the text. Whilst the score may be discussed for this reason, the reviewer will have spent more time with the product than any other writer or editor on the team – it is their expert opinion and we will not change the tone or the score of a review by committee. The score offers a quick guide as to the quality of any product and can be used to decide whether you should sink your time and money into it. Reading the full review will give you a clearer picture of the positives and negatives of the product and how it compares to others on the market. When giving a product a score, our reviewers can only consider how enjoyable a product is and how it compares to others on the market at the time of review. For example, we may give a sports game a high score at the time of release because it is the best example of its genre, but if the following year’s game is even better, that doesn’t mean we adjust the score of the old review or give the new game an inflated score. You will always find out the complete picture by reading the full review. While we do give consideration to whether a product is value for money at the time of review, the most important factor is quality. We wouldn’t adjust the score of an average game because it is cheap – it is still an average game whatever you spend on it. However, given the varying prices and quality of tech, we might point out if a budget piece of tech is good for the price. Whilst we wouldn’t assume what our audience can afford to spend on any given product, it would be fair to say that not everyone has the same disposable income. Therefore, we would compare a budget speaker to other budget speakers on the market and score it accordingly. Review Scores We currently score games, tech, TV shows, and movies out of 5. Here is what each score means. 5: Great 4: Very Good 3: Good 2: Below Average 1. Poor Whilst scores don’t give the complete picture, we understand their importance. As a result, the score is only influenced by the reviewer’s opinion of the product at the time of writing. The consumer is always our priority – we never consider advertising, sponsorship deals or future access to products when conducting a review. Review scores and opinions may be shared with publishers for use on their marketing materials, but under no circumstances would we alter our opinions or scores for publicity. Prior to November 2022, we scored out of 10. Conflicts of Interest Some of Dexerto’s staff have previously worked with people and at companies that produce or promote products that we write about. Likewise, former employees have also left Dexerto to join these companies. Our editors manage our coverage to ensure that there are no conflicts of interest whilst giving consideration to the type of content being produced and our resources. If someone at Dexerto has previously worked at a company or business that we cover, we endeavor to ensure that the coverage is handled by another writer or employee. Our editorial staff have to establish professional relationships with people at the companies who produce the products we cover, but should they develop into very close personal relationships or they have familial ties, they have to disclose them to their editor, who will make a decision whether their relationship affects their ability to produce impartial coverage. Content Coverage Dexerto produces a wide variety of content from news to reviews, interviews to tips and guides. Some of the information we report will be provided to us by publishers, studios, and manufacturers in the form of press releases or through their own media channels. In order to produce more in-depth and comprehensive coverage for our audience, we will also publish content derived from other sources. We always strive to verify information from sources with additional sources and whilst we will protect the identity of anyone who reveals information to our writers anonymously, their identity must be proven to editorial staff. We also publish articles featuring information that has been revealed by another publication or content creator. When doing this, we always credit and provide a link to the original source of information. Images will also be credited to the creator or the publisher which supplied them. Before publishing any information in a report that’s not in the public domain, we contact the companies or people involved in an attempt to get a comment. We do report on rumors and leaked information, but we always ensure that the information comes from reliable sources, and we contact companies involved in any stories of this nature so that they may be given the opportunity to verify or deny rumors. Corrections and Updates At Dexerto, we publish hundreds of new articles a week, many of which require updating to ensure that all information is relevant and up to date. This could be a developing news story that features new information and context that was previously unavailable, a new recommendation in a buyer’s guide, or extra tips following an update in a game. In order to be transparent with our audience and held accountable for our work, we correct any factual errors that are made in a story and add a note at the bottom of the article, explaining what the error was and what it has been changed to. Should a factual error fundamentally change the meaning of the article, we will update it with the new information and explain the errors that were made near the beginning of the piece. Generally, we have a policy of not removing content from the website. On rare occasions, usually involving legal matters, we may have to remove an article from Dexerto.com. When this happens, you will see an editor’s note where the original article existed explaining the reasons for its removal. Content Sponsorship In addition to advertising on the site, Dexerto has established content partnerships with brands who sponsor some of our articles. Through this funding, we are able to produce even more of the entertaining editorial content you enjoy. The majority of the content on Dexerto.com is written by our editorial team and is independent of any advertising or sponsorship. However, Dexerto also works with brands who are interested in sponsoring specific types of articles and bespoke articles about their product, service or event. To maintain trust with our audience we are transparent with readers when we produce articles that are created in partnership with brands, ensuring that we label them clearly as an Advertisement Feature or Supported Editorial. These articles are written by Dexerto writers and, depending on whether it is an Advertisement Feature or Supported Editorial, they will occasionally collaborate with our partners to obtain the information they need to write about their products. As these features are funded by our partners, they will include external links to their products. Here is everything you need to know about the different types of content sponsorship. Supported Editorial Articles that are labeled as supported editorial are funded by a commercial partner, and while they may feature advert links to their products, the editorial is not written to advertise partner’s products. The subject matter of a supported editorial article will be agreed with a funding partner in conjunction with a Dexerto editor and our VP of Marketing. The article is independently written by a member of the Dexerto editorial team with guidance from an editor and it is not sent to the partner for approval. An example of supported editorial would be our interviews with the esports pro Shottzy and the streamer Santana. These articles were funded by a commercial partner, through which we were able to interview personalities that are of interest to our audience. However, whilst we disclosed that the content was produced in partnership with a named brand, the article made no further mention of the brand’s products. You can find examples of supported editorial here. Advertisement Feature Advertisement Features are articles that are paid for and approved by a commercial partner. The copy will be produced by a member of Dexerto staff who will work with the partner to get the information required to produce the article. After it is written, it will be sent to the commercial partner for approval. Advertisement features are commercial content that usually promotes a partner’s products and, as such, do include advert links. You can find examples of Advertisement Features here. Affiliate advertising & Deals standards Affiliate links help Dexerto bring the best coverage across gaming, tech, and TV & Movies. Affiliation is a common practice across digital media and it provides retail links for readers to easily purchase the products that are being written about. For example, if we are writing a review of a new keyboard, game or show on Netflix, we may include a link to a retailer or streaming service where you can purchase the product should you wish to do so after reading the review. Should you click on the product link we will earn a small commission on anything purchased from the linked retailer. Affiliate links appear on many different articles across Dexerto and we are always transparent with our audience, with a clear disclaimer at the bottom of any article that includes product links to retailers. Deals standards Purchasing new gaming and tech products can be expensive and so Dexerto works with retail partners to bring you the best deals around to help you save money. Whether it’s a Black Friday sale or Amazon Prime Day, you will be able to find links to bargains on Dexerto.com, whilst our Dexerto Deals Twitter account will also highlight value deals. Deals are often time-limited. However, we strive to keep our pages updated with the best offers where possible. Especially around Black Friday and Amazon Prime Day when we’ll keep our pages updated with the latest offers, ensuring that you don’t miss out. We are not paid directly by retailers to promote their deals and our editorial team will only highlight products that we think our audience will like. After all, a good deal is only a good deal if the product you are purchasing is good. However, in order to place the latest deals on Dexerto.com and our Twitter account, we sign up for affiliate schemes. Placing links to retailers makes it easier for our audience to take advantage of these deals, but we will earn a small commission on anything purchased on the retail site. Any deals article that includes product links will feature a clear disclaimer.

Among Us animated series reportedly in the works from studio behind Big Mouth InnerslothAn Among Us animated series is reportedly in the works from the studio being many Adult Swim classics and Owen Dennis, creator of Infinity Train. When Innersloth, the creators of Among Us, released the game in 2018, no one could have predicted the impact it would have on the global gaming industry. Largely, throughout 2020’s global crisis, it skyrocketed into one of the most popular games in the world. Various expansion packs, console ports, and even a VR version of Among Us have all been released ever since to carry the momentum. And now, an animated series based on the game is reportedly in the works. According to a report from Variety, an animated series based on the popular multiplayer social deduction game is in the works at CBS Studios. The series will be headed by Owen Dennis who will be serving as executive producer on the project, and Titmouse will serve as the animation studio. According to the report, CBS Eye Animation Productions will be partnering up with Innersloth to develop the series. With the show mainly based on the game’s premise of deduction. Owen Dennis is most known for his time heading the Cartoon Network sci-fi animated show, Infinity Train, serving as its writer, storyboarder, and creator. He also has an extensive history writing for the Cartoon Network cult classic, Regular Show. Titmouse, the studio that is reportedly working on the animation, has had a long history of working on various popular projects, with a handful of them being Adult Swim classics. TV shows such as Big Mouth, Metalocalypse, and Venture Bros: Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart. Innersloth also posted a blog post on its website announcing the upcoming animated series, saying, “We’re so pumped and blown away we are getting this opportunity.” The report did not mention any potential release window, and no official date for the Among Us animated series has been announced just yet.
