The multiplayer game by InnerSloth bagged two big awards at The Game Awards last week –Best Multiplayer Game and Best Mobile Game.
Among Us will also be getting a new map in early 2021. Called The Airship, the upcoming map is bigger and offers several floors, contraptions, and tasks. It will let you decide what room to start in, have props like ladders, and more updates.
The game rose to popularity in the pandemic thanks to several factors, including popular content creators streaming the game live on platforms like YouTube and Twitch. Among Us had generated less than 1,000 downloads in August 2018, when it was first launched. In August 2020, the game was installed more than 18,000 times that figure.
