Among Us 2 announced: sequel features, price, more InnerslothInnersloth have confirmed Among Us 2 is indeed on its way, following a massive surge in popularity of the series\u2019 original 2018 title. Here\u2019s everything you need to know about the upcoming sequel, including expanded features, and more. Among Us 2 is officially in production, Redmond development studio Innersloth revealed in a blog post on August 18. The confirmation comes soon after a popularity spike for the online multiplayer title, guided in part by Twitch streamers. Innersloth said they were always planning on expanding the Among Us world after watching it \u201cgrow and grow and grow\u201d since 2018. Those plans seem to be in the form of a sequel, the team admitted, due to the size of the original. \u201cAmong Us started as a tiny local-multiplayer-only game. Online multiplayer took two months and a total rework. It was not created to be this big,\u201d the devs admitted. \u201cFixing it all would be harder than just making a new game.\u201d So, that\u2019s what they\u2019re doing \u2014 Among Us 2 is now officially on its way. Here\u2019s everything we know about Innersloth\u2019s ambitious new project. Is there a release date for Among Us 2? There isn\u2019t a confirmed release date for Among Us 2 just yet. The devs have commented on the process. \u201cWe just started planning it,\u201d they said. \u201cWe really do not know [when it may be released]. There is no art, programming, or sound done at all.\u201d So, we have a bit of a wait ahead of us. Luckily, the original Among Us gives us a blueprint in regards to how long that development process may take. Innersloth took \u201cabout six months\u201d to get the first title into an open beta stage. The multiplayer game then spent another half a year in early access on Steam, with players testing out all the finicky details. Among Us 2 may \u201ctake at least that long again\u201d and will be in open beta for longer though, Innersloth warned. That means we can put the spotlight on an estimated release date: around August 2021 for the title\u2019s beta. That date is, of course, subject to development changes. New features for planned 2021 sequel Among Us 1 maps will stay The biggest news for the sequel is that Innersloth plans to \u201cbasically include Among Us 1, in some capacity\u201d for the 2021 release. This won\u2019t just be a straight map port into the new title, but will involve the same three original areas. More players in every game Among Us 2 will also dial up the number of players in every game. At the moment, 10 players drop into every match, including two or three imposters. Innersloth is aiming for closer to 12 to 15 in the sequel, with multiple imposters. Innersloth adding more roles The \u201ccrewmate vs imposter\u201d gameplay may also be tweaked slightly, they said. \u201cWe aren\u2019t far enough in the design to confirm roles,\u201d the devs said, \u201cbut the primary addition for Among Us 2 will be more complexity through roles.\u201d Expect more content updates This will also be paired with \u201cbig content updates,\u201d something Innersloth admits they missed in the first game \u201cbig time\u201d. Expect regular seasons, or even battle passes for cosmetics, if modern gaming has taught us anything. Among Us 2 launch price The planned Among Us sequel will cost \u201cmore\u201d than the original title, Innersloth confirmed in their August 18 blog post. That said, there are ways you can get the game a little cheaper. The main one is Innersloth\u2019s \u201clong-term player\u201d deal. Any players who have already bought Among Us 1 will get a discount coupon for the sequel on Steam. They may also be given the mobile version (with ads). The Among Us devs also confirmed they were considering in-game currency for cosmetics so they can \u201clet players buy or earn just the things that they want.\u201d So there you have it; everything we know about Among Us 2 so far. Stick with Dexerto for all the news on Innersloth\u2019s in-development title, which will be released on PC and mobile in 2021. Console releases may also be planned in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
