We love them. So we’re making more of them. They always bring some fresh chaos to lobbies. That’s why we have two new roles planned, with one of them arriving just next month. I was advised by my attorney to say nothing more.We’ve been doing A LOT of testing on these roles to make sure they don’t feel overpowered and play nicely with the existing roles in a way that feels fun and fresh. It’s sorta like coffee – some like a bold and dark roast with no cream, and others (like me) enjoy a shot with sweetened m…

• Nostalgia Mode arrives for April Fool’s! - 1 April 2026

  Huh… is it just us or are the Crewmates older?It’s time to take a trip down memory vent because Among Us has reverted to its original look for April Fool’s Day Week with update v17.3.0! We haven’t used the OG art of the game since it was updated back in 2021 – doesn’t time fly? So, now’s your chance to jump in and relive (or live for the first time) that classic Among Us feel in your lobbies.Isn’t there something just right about the OG look? The slightly different leg, the more crooked visor… it’s what Crewmates always were. While the mode is active, not everything gets reverted to the old look – it only works on items we have old sprites for like the Crewmates, Impostor kills, Emergency Meetings calls, and some of the cosmetics.And don’t worry – if you prefer the modern look you can always toggle the mode off in the lobby creation menu. Round up your friends and start a lobby quick! N…

• Behind the Beans: Tracker & Noisemaker - 3 October 2025

  Hello, Crewmates!Once again, it’s time to go BEHIND THE BEANS! We hope you’ve enjoyed the last blogs we did for our newest roles: the Detective and Viper.As a treat Dave has turned back the clock to take us through the process for some of our other roles – the Tracker and Noisemaker!Take it away, Dave!After releasing The Fungle in 2023, the next goal was to release a batch of new roles. Players had been asking for new roles for a while, so it was exciting to start prototyping different ones. Roles are a great way to create new mechanics, make the gameplay feel fresh, and add new twists to the social deduction component in Among Us.This exploration resulted in 3 new roles being released in 2024: Tracker, Noisemaker, and Phantom. I felt that the Tracker and the Noisemaker were interesting because despite both being Crewmate roles, they’re design opposites. This allowed them to have strong…
