IMPOSTORS. You know what that sound means!

It's time for Impostors to take over and show Admin that October is OURS. It's spooky month... and now, also _**IMPOSTOR MONTH**_! And what's more scary than a little sabotage?

Read on to see what chaos we get up to.

##### **Tricks And Treats**

We can’t have Impostors running around naked when you can have perfect, one-bone chilling, costumes you could wear (but it is your choice). Jump into the in-game store to get:

- Trick Cosmicube for **70 Stars**

- Treat Cosmicube for **2600 Beans**

- [Halloween Hat Bundle 2019](https://www.innersloth.com/classic-halloween-hats-return/) for **2000 Beans**

These delectable cosmetics, like all good Hallowbean candy, won’t last forever, so make sure you get your sugar-covered hands on them before they’re gone at the end of October!

Once you’ve got your fit ready to cause some Seeker screams, it’s time for you to jump into all the decorated maps. That’s right – I said **ALL** the decorated maps. From The Skeld to The Fungle, there are decorations fit for your crew’s spooky outings.

##### **A Cone To Pick With You**

We hear you like cosmetics. Admin doesn’t know (shhhh!), but we’ve shared some codes on TikTok so you can get your own **Traffic Jam Hat** in a special purple colorway!

To get one, watch your favorite creators’ Among Us content with the Among Us game detail page tagged. Visit the page to claim a unique reward code for the cosmetic.

If you’re a TikTok creator, you can also help us spread the bad bean agenda by posting Impostor content throughout the month with the **Traffic Jam Hat**. Make sure to tag @AmongUs too, so we can see all the chaos you wreak on your lobbies 😈

Once you’ve obtained your code you can redeem it in-game in the **My Account** menu to unlock the cosmetic*. **Don’t share this! It’s a unique, one-time code for you.**

If you have trouble with the redemption, send us a [ticket at our helpdesk](https://innersloth.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) and include which platform you were trying to redeem the code on.

_*Sorry PlayStation Impostors, unfortunately, you cannot redeem this one. We’ll see what we can do next time!_

##### **Horsing Around**

I think that’s everything you need to worry about know for the upcoming shenanigans. You have nothing to worry about while Impostor the totally normal version of me is holding the reins…

_*hoof sounds intensify*_

Actually, we have one more thing. We hope you’re ready to saddle up because Horsemode returns **October 26th** for one week only! Gather your crew and hop into some **Classic** or **Hide N Seek** games as the beloved, cursed, Crewmate form.

We can’t wait to see you get up to some mischief and show MIRA HQ what Impostors really get up to! Perhaps we’ll see some cool Impostor art and creations from you this month too 👀

Totally not shapeshifting,

Impostor Dors

### New Ghost Crewmate Role: The Influencer! | Emergency Meeting #44

- Date: 2026-09-29
- Original notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/945360/view/674005091200532777
- Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/among-us/releases/2026-09-29-new-ghost-crewmate-role-the-influencer-emergency

- **added** — Introduce new Ghost Crewmate role called the Influencer that allows dead Crewmates to send up to 3 random images to living Crewmates to help identify Impostors
- **added** — Add Redeem Reward button to the My Account menu
- **changed** — Adjust Judge gavel smash sound effects slightly
- **fixed** — Reduce frequency of duplicate login pop-ups through server changes

Ghosts, it’s time to get to work!

Update **v19.0.0** is available right now on all platforms and introduces our new Ghost Crewmate role – the Influencer. Keeping reading for the full scoop.

##### **Influential Beans**

Ah, dang it! An Impostor killed you. If only you could tell someone about who killed you… _Gasp. _Wait!

Meet _**the Influencer, **_the newest Ghost to haunt the crew. Guardian Angels are no longer alone in their ghostly quest to help out living Crewmates! If you meet an unfortunate end, here’s what you need to do:

- **Message** **Ability:** Choose up to 3 random images to send to a living Crewmate. Use these images to help them catch an Impostor, warn them when one is around, or clear any suspicions!

- Be careful! The images you pick might get misinterpreted and get another Crewmate ejected instead.

- Refreshes are limited, so give it your best shot to influence the outcome of the next meeting with the pictures you get.

- You can adjust the Influencer’s cooldown via the Settings menu in the Dropship.

- Even though you’ve got more to do as a Ghost – **remember to do your tasks!**

This new role combined with the efforts of a Judge could spell victory… or a very untimely defeat. You get the picture – or, at least, you will when an Influencer sends you one! Once you get your hands on the role, remember to tell us what you think on social.

Read on for some more changes in this update.

We hope you love the Influencer as much as you loved the Judge. Speaking of which, we have a few tweaks to talk about for **v19.0.0** It’s not too long so take a quick look so you can dive right in to the update.

##### **Patch Notes**

- Duplicate login pop ups: We saw you reports and made some server changes to lower the frequency of these appearing.

- Judge gavel smash SFX: Tweaked slightly! Don’t be alarmed.

- New **Redeem Reward** button has been added to the **My Account** menu. We'll have more to share on this at a later date! Keep your visors peeled.

That’s it for patch notes. If you run into any bugs, or have suggestions, remember to [send a ticket to our helpdesk](https://innersloth.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new)! **Remember to update your game to v19.0.0 for these changes and to play as the Influencer.**

You’re almost at the end of the devlog (thanks for sticking with me). Let’s take a look at some fan art and creations from readers like you.

I know what you’re thinking – they’re gonna judge our art. Well… you might have me on a technicality there but my verdict is that I’ve been loving what you’ve been posting on online!

Starting us of is [Kaerce from Twitter](https://x.com/KaerceShtrikh/status/2090113781183533384) who did such a cute little rendition of our justice seekers, Judge and Detective.

This second piece from [もちきなこ (Mochineko) on Twitter](https://x.com/shiba2mofu/status/2092517063592194475?s=46) is definitely up there as one of my fav pieces as an avid Gunpla and model kit enjoyer. Who wouldn’t love putting their gavel swinging Judge together?

The third piece from [strawberri_pi on Twitter](https://x.com/strawberri_pi/status/2092438810898379093), features the most bean-iest beans that ever beaned. Keeping shipping Guard and Cook – you have my permissions. (Be sure to open the tweet to see all the pics)

[carousel autoadvance="true"]

Our fourth piece is from [R0B on Twitter](https://x.com/R0BR0RB/status/2066725084769730876)! This was one we loved for celebrating 8 years of Among Us with Red, Green, and Guard!

Let’s give these creators a hand (and hope the Judge doesn’t smash their tablets) for creations! The team gets so much joy out of seeing what y’all draw and make so please keep it coming and remember to tag us on social!

Off to influence some meetings,

Dors

### New Crewmate Role: The Judge! | Emergency Meeting #43

- Date: 2026-08-18
- Original notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/945360/view/672875385849908553
- Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/among-us/releases/2026-08-18-new-crewmate-role-the-judge-emergency-meeting-43

- **added** — Add new Crewmate role called the Judge with an Overrule ability to eject a chosen Crewmate during Emergency Meetings
- **added** — Add Match Info Guide to check players, roles, and settings chosen for the game
- **changed** — Detective's Interrogate ability now has a cooldown after Emergency Meetings
- **changed** — Judge's Overrule ability activation requirement can be customized via Role Settings on the Dropship

ALL RISE!

Update **v18.0.0** is here which means it’s time for a brand new Crewmate role that’ll shake up your next meeting! Read on to get all _judge-y_ and see what else is in the update.

##### **We Listen And We ~~Don’t~~ Judge**

We’ve all wanted to have that final say in an Emergency Meeting – especially when you can’t trust anyone’s alibi. Votes aren’t in your favor? Convinced you know who it is? This is the perfect moment for the Judge:

- Use your new **Overrule** ability to eject a Crewmate of your choice. It doesn’t matter if everyone else skipped voting or chose a different Crewmate.

- **Be careful! **If you use your Overrule ability on someone who doesn’t turn out to be the Impostor, YOU’RE the one who gets ejected.

- Complete tasks quickly to unlock the ability. Better make sure it’s ready for the next Emergency Meeting!

- You can change the amount of tasks needed to activate the ability in the Role Settings on the Dropship.

- This is a powerful ability, so use it wisely. Overrule can only be used once per game!

- **What happens if there's more than one Judge in a game and they use Overrule at the same time?** Good question! In this case, the Judge who used their ability first gets it. All other Judges will be "refunded" and get to use their Overrule in another Emergency Meeting.

If you want more tips from the team, make sure you watch the full Judge trailer. Otherwise, that’s all there is to it so grab your gavel and powdered wig! Court is in session!

Along with the arrival of the Judge we have a couple quality of life updates for you:

- We added a new **Match Info Guide** so you can check the players, roles, and settings chosen for the game. _Maybe this will help you find the lie in someone’s alibi?_

- The Detective’s Interrogate ability now has a cooldown after Emergency Meetings. Giving suspects a little time to escape the super sleuths will add a bit more tension and balance the Detective.

If you have any trouble with this update, remember to [send a ticket to our helpesk](https://innersloth.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new). Before you run off to grab your judge robes, let’s take a peak at some fanart!

One of my favorite parts about these devlogs is finding and sharing the amazing artwork you make. Since the release of the [Among Us Show](https://www.innersloth.com/the-among-us-show-is-out-now/) and the announcement of [Among Us Story: On Guard](https://www.innersloth.com/among-us-story-on-guard-the-reveal/) you’ve been busy churning out so many great creations! Let’s check out some of them now.

First up is this piece from [Lotostar on Twitter](https://x.com/Lotostar_Art/status/2068419866382753918?s=20)! They captured this moment between Guard and Engineer perfectly. Not sure that’s the best use of coffee beans but it definitely worked in this case.

Our second piece of art is from [Rover on Twitter](https://x.com/hoursofcannibal/status/2067477439798759523?s=20). They happen to be another Purple enjoyer (and who can blame them?). They did a wonderful job of taking the classic Crewmate shapes and styling them in a new way. I’m a big fan of how Chef looks.

This next piece from [hypernov4 on Twitter](https://x.com/POCKETDILFS/status/2082034671940964479?s=20) is really giving that brooding investigative vibe. There's nothing like a Guard in the rain. I can hear the saxophones already.

Let’s give a big hand to these creators! If you want to show us your work, be sure to tag us on our socials: (https://x.com/AmongUsGame?s=20), (https://bsky.app/profile/amongus.innersloth.com), (https://www.instagram.com/innerslothdevs/), (https://www.facebook.com/InnerSloth/), and (https://www.tiktok.com/@amongus).

Off to get my Judge wig,

### 2026 Roadmap 🚀 | Part 2

- Date: 2026-08-01
- Original notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/945360/view/672875385849908154
- Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/among-us/releases/2026-08-01-2026-roadmap-part-2

- **added** — Two new roles planned, with one arriving next month
- **added** — Match Info Guide to track game settings, number of roles, and their percentages
- **added** — New Cosmicubes with fresh themes and designs
- **added** — Additional collaborations planned for the rest of the year
- **changed** — Roles tested to ensure they feel balanced and play well with existing roles across different player styles

Gather round, Crewmates!

I know some of you have been wondering, whispering even… _“Where’s part 2 of the Roadmap?” _Well, WONDER NO MORE! Our first half was full of some of **THE BIGGEST NEWS** with the release of the [Among Us Show](https://www.innersloth.com/the-among-us-show-is-out-now/) and the announcement of our brand new narrative game, [Among Us Story: On Guard](https://www.innersloth.com/among-us-story-on-guard-the-reveal/).

Let’s take a look at what’s in store for the rest of the year.

##### **Roles**

You love them. 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 milk. We want to try and introduce roles across the spectrum of player styles.

We hope you enjoy what we’ve been brewing!

##### **Quality Of Life**

As we add more roles, your games can get a little more complicated. Trying to remember your settings, the number of roles and their percentages can get a bit difficult. That’s why we’re adding a **Match Info Guide**. This should make it easier to keep track of how you or your lobby host have set up the game. We plan on adding this along with our new role next month!

##### **New Cosmicubes**

Fashion is just as important as finishing tasks… dare I say even more important _(don’t tell Admin I said that)_. That’s why the art team is busy designing some hot new looks for the next time you want to look fly in the Dropship.

We love cooking up new themes, so don’t hesitate to throw ideas at us _(I see you Crewmates asking for Indie Cube 2 and Ace Attorney, but no promises) _so you can throw Beans or Stars towards some fresh drip.

##### **Collabs**

We have friends everywhere. And we LOVE a good collab. We started off strong this year with some new and returning collabs. But why stop there?

You’re going to be in for a treat as we’re not quite done with collabs for the year – keep those visors peeled. And just like with Cosmicubes, keep telling us who you’d like us to collab with next.

##### **Among Us Story: On Guard**

Since our reveal and demo time we’ve heard your cries to get the game out. We’ve seen your fantastic fan art. We’ve also seen you thirsting over the beans _(looking at you, dating sim wanters)_.

The team is working hard to make sure everything is set up the MIRA HQ way for your trip into the simulator, so hang tight! We’ll have you proving your innocence finding the true Impostor in no time.

Wooooooooo, that’s what we got for Part 2 of our 2026 roadmap! We started the year with some excitement and if all goes to plan, there’s a bunch more coming your way.

Ta ta for now,

Dors

### Among Us – Depreciation of 2024 Versions

- Date: 2026-06-22
- Original notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/945360/view/680753515027501629
- Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/among-us/releases/2026-06-22-among-us-depreciation-of-2024-versions

- **deprecated** — 2024 versions of Among Us (marked as v2024) will no longer be supported
- **changed** — Players must update to v17.4.0 or later to maintain support

Hello, Crewmates!

As of today, **we will no longer be supporting any 2024 versions of Among Us**. If you see “v2024” on the bottom left of the main menu, you will be affected. Please update your game to **v17.4.0 **as soon as possible so you can keep making MIRA HQ proud by doing tasks!

Among Us is still expanding with features, roles, bug updates, improved security, etc. and getting Crewmates on similar versions helps with that development.

Thanks for understanding and sticking with us no matter which version you’ve been playing on.

### Nostalgia Mode arrives for April Fool’s!

- Date: 2026-04-01
- Original notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/945360/view/494971151780414434
- Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/among-us/releases/2026-04-01-nostalgia-mode-arrives-for-april-fool-s

- **added** — Nostalgia Mode reverts the game to its original 2021 art style for Crewmates, Impostor kills, Emergency Meeting calls, and some cosmetics
- **added** — Toggle option to disable Nostalgia Mode in the lobby creation menu
- **changed** — Nostalgia Mode is active until April 8th at 17:00 UTC

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! Nostalgia Mode will only be here until April 8th at 17:00 UTC (10am PDT /1pm EDT).

Totally not pranking the team,

Dors

**P.S. **Huh, I wonder what this button does?

### Announcing the Hanami Cosmicube! 🌸

- Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/among-us/releases/2026-03-23-announcing-the-hanami-cosmicube

- **added** — Hanami Cosmicube available for purchase for 30 Stars, containing three hats (Three of a Kind, Mochi Obliged, A Little Tied Up, In Full Bloom, Flower Power, Meet Your Matcha, Budding Feelings), one visor (Got Something On Your Face), three skins (A Checkered Past, Florals How Original, To My Own Beat), and two nameplates (One Spring Day, Life's a Picnic)

It’s a beautiful day to do tasks, Crewmates!

March is almost over, but that means change is around the corner. Maybe that’ll mean less untimely deaths in Electrical (unless an Impostor has something to say about that)! Why not celebrate by indulging in the coming cherry blossom season with a beautiful, **brand new** set of cosmetics?

##### **Hanami Cosmicube 🌸**

Starting today, you can purchase our brand new **Hanami Cosmicube** for **30 Stars**. Much like the lovely cherry blossoms the cosmetics are themed after, they won’t be around forever, so get yours before they’re gone on **April 23, 2026 at 17:00 UTC**!

Once you have the Cosmicube, you can start unlocking:

- Three of a Kind Hat

- Mochi Obliged Hat

- A Little Tied Up Hat

- In Full Bloom Hat

- Flower Power Hat

- Meet Your Matcha Hat

- Budding Feelings Hat

- Got Something On Your Face Visor

- A Checkered Past Skin

- Florals, How Original Skin

- To My Own Beat Skin

- One Spring Day Nameplate

- Life’s a Picnic Nameplate

Do you think the serene blossoms will calm down the Impostors? That they’ll bask in the beauty of life? Yeah? No. Probably not. It’ll just remind them of how all good things must end. Oh well. We can’t wait to hear what you think as you enjoy the peace (ignore the blood-curdling screams) with your fellow Crewmates.

If you need a lil reminder on how Cosmicubes work, check out our [handy helpdesk article](https://innersloth.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/13597476135700-How-do-I-use-Cosmicubes-and-get-cosmetics) (please read it, Mike did a great job on it). If you have trouble purchasing the Cosmicube or run into some kind of bug, remember to [report it to us at our helpdesk](https://innersloth.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new)!

##### **But what’s hanami?**

It’s the Japanese tradition of enjoying (viewing) cherry blossom flowers, or as some refer to it, the cherry blossom festival! You can read more about it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanami)!

I, for one, can’t wait to see all the fan art y’all are gonna have with these cosmetics! Don’t let me down.

Off to gorge on mochi and matcha,

Dors

### Announcing: Among Us x Ace Attorney (Again!)

- **added** — Phoenix Wright hair cosmetic from Ace Attorney collaboration, available free to players logging in before March 17th at 18:00 UTC
- **added** — Phoenix Wright suit cosmetic from Ace Attorney collaboration, available free to players logging in before March 17th at 18:00 UTC

**_HOLD IT!_**

That’s what I’d yell the minute I dress up in our newest collaboration cosmetics. We’ve teamed up with **Ace Attorney** once more to bring the one and only **Phoenix Wright** into Among Us!

Just like you, we knew Phoenix _had_ to be in the game too after we collabed with **Capcom** to bring [Miles Edgeworth](https://www.innersloth.com/announcing-among-us-x-ace-attorney/) into the game last time. Now you can have a dramatic turnabout in your own lobbies as these Phoenix Wright cosmetics are **FREE**!

All you have to do is log in to Among Us before _March 17th at 18:00 UTC (March 17th at 10am PT and 1pm ET)_ to receive:

- Phoenix Wright’s Hair

CREWMATESSSS!!!

WE MADE IT! WE’RE ALIVE! WE SURVIVED THE IMPOSTORS FOR ANOTHER YEAR!!!

Thank you for a ✨stellar 2025✨ full of fun updates, multiple vent cleaning claims, and you-definitely-not-asking-us-about-the-TV-show-and-where-it-is. (It is NOT cancelled??? Why do I keep seeing people claim this please lmao.)

I wanted to do a silly recap of what we’ve accomplished together this year, but FIRST let’s get through some housekeeping.

##### **New Years Eve 2026 Drop**

Our yearly tradition is coming! **Get a special, limited time NYE 2026 Hat for FREE when you log in starting December 26, 07:00 UTC. **Ring in 2026 with your Crewmates and ensure you can be the person in future lobbies going “Oh this hat? It was limited edition. You just had to be there.” Ahhh, FOMO. This giveaway ends on January 31, 2026 so don’t forget about it!

Until then, the **Snowflake, Snowbean, and Gift Cosmicubes are BACK! **Celebrate the winter holidays and snag them before they melt away on December 31.

##### **Innersloth Holiday**

Innersloth (that’s us) will be on winter holidays starting now (December 15) until January 5th, 2026. During that time expect less posts on social media (unless I get bored waiting in line for something and start replying to stuff on my phone lol) and no updates during this time. (Victoria not using parentheses while writing a devlog challenge: IMPOSSIBLE.)

If you encounter any bugs or issues with the game during this time, our player support team will still be helping out! You can email them (https://innersloth.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) or check out the (https://innersloth.zendesk.com/hc/en-us).

##### **2025 Recap**

Now let’s take a walk down memory lane and see all the horrors tasks we’ve completed this year. Fun fact: this year, everyone on the Innersloth team are confirmed Crewmates. We think. We’re still not really sure about Gary.

First, let’s reflect on the 2025 Roadmap we released:

##### **Improved Matchmaking**

Update v16.0.0 back in March brought an important change to Among Us – a new way to create and find lobbies! We got solid feedback from you on what you needed to find your perfect match (thanks to everyone who filled out the Player Feedback form near the beginning of the year), so we added filters, the ability to view settings before you join a game, and more.

I am still obsessed with the way Crewmates fill up the maps on the Create Game screen by the way. The details of what they’re doing… *chef’s kiss*

##### **New Roles**

In September, we released two new roles in v17.0.0: Detective and Viper!

The Detective was our first Crewmate role that needed much more involvement and big brain IQ to properly strategize with. (Confession: I am terrible at this role. My brain is too small.)

Meanwhile, the Viper got a cool custom kill animation and got to wreak havoc in lobbies. Shout out to this one comment I saw that said “I got puked on by Viper, the animation is grosssss 😂”. Please consider it an honor to be puked on by Viper.

##### **Collabs**

The most recent (and ongoing) collab was with the ConcernedApe himself for a Stardew Valley Cosmicube! This all started when we bullied him into going to the aquarium with us in Seattle back in 2023. (I’m joking.) (But we did go to the aquarium!) Don’t forget to pick it up for a mere 3300 Beans before it ends in February 2026.

Our big collab this year was with RGG Studios to bring the Kamurocho gang to the game in an official Cosmicube. Please tell me you saw the karaoke video we made for it. Please. And if you already saw it, watch it again.

But that wasn’t all! To celebrate their Version Luna I launch, we’ve teamed up with Genshin Impact to bring a Paimon look to Among Us. The Impostors definitely used it as Emergency Food.

And back by popular demand was the Pusheen Cosmicube! Who knew something so cute could be so evil. You all truly have yelled at us SO MUCH to bring it back, and I have definitely seen a significant increase in Pusheens runn

Unless…? 🤔

The Stardew Cosmicube will be available for a **limited time from Nov 18, 2025 – Feb 18, 2026**. And the best part? It’s** FREE** – get enough Beans and these crops can be all yours. Just get it before it withers away.

Tell your crew, slap on that sunscreen, and let’s harvest some crops! Unfortunately while seasons may change, Impostors are forever, so make sure you’re keeping an eye out for them. (Or maybe if you give them the right gifts, you can befriend them…?) (…Nah.) Do you think JojaMart can stock Impostor Pesticides?

Okay have fun! I’m gonna go bother ConcernedApe now.

### November Update v17.1.0: The Longest Dev Log in The World

- Date: 2025-11-18

- Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/among-us/releases/2025-11-18-november-update-v17.1.0-the-longest-dev-log-in-th

- **added** — Stardew Valley Cosmicube available until February 18, 2026 at 17:00 UTC for 3300 Beans
- **changed** — Create Game screen backgrounds updated to reflect the map chosen

Hi Crewmates,

Teeny tiny update **v17.1.0** is now out.

Curious about what it contains?

Alright.

Are you ready? Hold your breath. Prepare your reading eyes. This could drive you insane from the sheer amount of words this will hold:

- **NEW: **[Stardew Valley Cosmicube](https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/945360/view/807959368541668672) will be available until **Feb 18, 2026 at 17:00 UTC**. And the best part? It’s FREE – for only 3300 Beans, this bountiful harvest can be yours. Get it before it withers away.

- **NEW: Create Game screen. **As requested by you, the backgrounds have been updated to reflect the map chosen!

- …

- ……. Ummm.

- Yep that’s actually it.

I know. You’re mindblown. But check out the Cosmicube and hope to see you in those lobbies!….You know, any normal player would want the November dev log to end here since there’s really nothing else to say, but I know you. You’re sick. You’re twisted. The other Crewmates will never understand the depths of your darkness. I’ve seen what you’ve done. The lies you’ve told during Emergency Meetings so that you could get away with murder. The unravelling of your core values as you realized how easy it is to manipulate your best friends. They thought you were sweet. Docile. Innocent, even. Then you showed them. You showed the WORLD what you could do when given the opportunity to sabotage the lights. I’m disgusted by you. But also… in awe. Here I am, sitting in the safety of Admin, while you’re out there making a name for yourself. I respect you. I fear you. I hope to never walk along the same path as you because I know that if we were to lock visors, I would be dead.

Okay bye!

Victoria

It's new content time, Crewmates!!

Can you believe it?! Our new roles are finally here, and they're sure to shake up your next Emergency Meeting! Update your game to **17.0.0** so you can enjoy these new flavors of chaos and all the fixes.

##### New Crewmate Role: Detective

Some of you are proper gumshoes, and now you can live up to the name by playing as the new Detective role! This is our first role with two separate abilities. Here's how to use them:

- **Notes:** Keep track of a dead Crewmate's location, your list of suspects, and what kind of Impostor you're looking for.

- **Interrogate: **Start questioning your fellow Crewmates, and find out where they were during the crime!

- You can only use the ability on one active case at a time! You'll need to switch the file if you're [researching multiple murders](https://youtu.be/RMFjx8k2woY?si=O_asXqYhEHKGr3Q4&t=140).

- You can change how many Interrogations a Detective can do via the advanced role settings when you're in the Dropship.

When we made this role, we really wanted to make Emergency Meeting discussions even more fun!

Be careful, though! As you start putting the pieces together, you might be the Impostor's next target. Make sure to grab a fresh notebook and your magnifying glass — you're gonna need 'em!

##### New Impostor Role: Viper

This new Impostor role is perfect for destroying, or in this case, dissolving their victims. Use a well-timed Sabotage to keep the rest of the crew busy while you use your **Acid** ability and watch the Crewmate's body slowly melt away. Here's how it works:

- After a kill, the Crewmate corpse will decay in 3 stages: slightly dissolved, very dissolved, and then just a bone before it's completely gone.

- You can adjust how quickly the corpse dissolves in the advanced role settings in the Dropship.

Before long, the body is gone, and all you have to worry about is your alibi. Time it right and you might achieve the ultimate Impostor dream: killing without leaving any trace of it behind. No one's going to call an Emergency Meeting when there's nothing, right?

If you find yourself on the unfortunate end of the Viper's acidic spit, sadly... this is your end. But at least you'll be treated to a brand new kill animation before you watch your body start to sizzle.

We had a great time testing these roles and are excited to see how y'all handle these new abilities — whether you become The Skeld's greatest detective or you just want to go around spitting at other Crewmates (a lil gross, ngl), it's sure to be a ton of fun.

Alongside the new roles, we have some quality of life updates!

First up is our "How to Play" guide. The guide was getting a little cramped with our last additions. Now that we've got 9 roles, the guide has been updated so you can more easily select which one you'd like to learn to play.

The Role Settings have also been updated! We couldn't squeeze all the new roles into the same space, so we changed the selection into a scrollable list. The roles will be ordered left to right, starting with the older roles on the left and the newer roles to the right.

Practice mode got a little lift as well! Now, when you're looking to change your role during Practice, you can choose either the new blue Crewmate folder or the red Impostor folder to find and select the role you'd like to try.

Keep reading for a few fixes we have with this update too.

##### Patch Notes

- [MIRA HQ] [The Airship] [The Fungle] - You now have to enter the whole code for the Enter ID Code task. No more easy codes.

- When another player has your preferred Crewmate color, you will see your currently assigned color when looking in your inventory.

- The "Up All Night Raving" hats are now sorted correctly in the wardrobe.

- You can no longer identify dead Crewmates by viewing them in the "Crewmates" window during a match.

If you happen to spy any strange bugs or glitches in your pursuit of the Impostors, remember to send us a ticket at [our helpdesk](ht

- **removed** — Support for any 2023 versions of Among Us (versions marked as v2023)
- **changed** — Players must update to version 16.1.0 or later to continue playing

Hello, Crewmates!

As of today, **we will no longer be supporting any 2023 versions of Among Us**. If you see “v2023” on the bottom left of the main menu, you will be affected. Please update your game to **16.1.0 **as soon as possible so you can keep betraying your friends playing!

We plan to keep expanding Among Us with features, roles, bug updates, improved security, etc. and getting Crewmates on similar versions helps with that development.

Thanks for understanding and sticking with us no matter which version you’ve been playing on.

It's almost time to celebrate Among Us' birthday - it's technically on June 15th, but who's counting? We're kicking festivities off early by giving **YOU** a present!!

Who could have known we'd be celebrating 7 years' worth of tasks, sabotages, and betrayal? These silly lil beans have been through a lot (mainly ejections). To all of you who completed tasks, gaslit your friends, and spent time finding Impostors:

**YOU'RE THE BEST CREW WE COULD ASK FOR! THANK YOU!! <3**

##### Beans, Beans, What A Wonderful Currency

If you have a Dropship load of Beans burning a hole in your pocket, we've got some fun items you can spend it on! The art team has been cooking, and they've blessed us with some new cosmetics (and new colorways) that are available via the in-game store:

- Not 2 Self Visor (Sad) (Happy)

- I Got a Boo Boo Visor

- Starry-Eyed Purple Visor

Those visor and scarf combos will go pretty hard in the next Emergency Meeting. If you're looking for even more ways to style the new drip, hold on! There's some cool stuff coming down the road.

Before you go, let's look at some more community creations!

I hope your visors are ready, cause it's time to gaze upon some really dope things from the community.

Check out this cute lil purple Crewmate made by **PracticalFrog0207** on the [Among Us subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmongUs/comments/1koye8r/i_made_a_purple_crewmate/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)! I can't wait to see how their army of Crewmates will shape up. Please don't send them after us, thanks!

Next up with have some low-poly wizardy by **Joe** from our official (https://discord.gg/78Q786dcEJ)! I'm not gonna lie, I'm a huge fan low-poly art. Having a Crewmate rendered this way is super cute!

**Julianobr** from our Discord has also displayed some wizardry, but in voxel form! I'd probably have the same look on my face if I found an Impostor knife too. Hopefully they don't find out who left it behind...

This was another great showing of work! Remember to tag us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, Bluesky, and TikTok when you share your creations so we can see all your wonderful art.

Off to grab another slice of cake,

- Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/among-us/releases/2025-05-20-may-update-a-smol-treat

- **fixed** — Impostors and Shapeshifters can no longer kill through sabotaged doors on The Fungle
- **security** — Deployed anti-hacks and improved detection of exploits
- **changed** — Updated Kamurocho Cosmicube cosmetic names and minor store image
- **fixed** — Reduced instances of false temporary bans caused by black screen errors or game crashes
- **changed** — Disconnecting from the game before roles are revealed no longer counts against temporary ban progression

Hiya, Crewmates!

Make sure you're on version **16.0.5** so you're good to go! Let's take a look at what it covers.

If everything goes according to plan (fingers crossed for no sabotages), you won't notice any big changes. This is because the update focused on changes to the backend, which helps us keep development moving forward. This includes improvements for how we tackle hacks, exploits, and bugs.

##### Patch Notes

Here are some of the changes you can see in this update:

-  **[The Fungle] ** - Impostors and Shapeshifters can't kill through sabotaged doors anymore (you're safe for now, Crewmates!)

-  **Hack fixes** - We deployed anti-hacks and are keeping our visors peeled for any new sabotages. Big thank you to everyone who reported the issues, and to the hard work of the programming team.

-  **Updates to the Kamurocho Cosmicube** - We updated some Kamurocho cosmetic names along with a minor store image change (can you spot the difference?)

If you come across any new issues, remember to send us a [helpdesk ticket](https://innersloth.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new)!

Welcome to the part of the devlog where we talk about the bugs and glitches that have creepily crawled into the game. Here's what you may run into while you're prepping your alibi:

##### Known Bugs

-  Switching from windowed to fullscreen may break the UI.

-  In rare cases, accepting a game invite will cause a disconnect with the Among Us servers.

-  It is difficult to see currently highlighted buttons on the Find Game screen while using a controller.

-  Exiting Practice Mode returns players to the Main Menu instead of the Online Menu.

-  In rare instances, buttons can't be selected while in the Dropship.

-  Players may remain on the Find Game screen when trying to join a lobby after a network disconnect.

-  **[Hide n Seek]** - Win stats are not updating as intended.

The team is working hard to eject these bugs, so hang tight! If you encounter any bugs or glitches, send us a ticket via our (https://innersloth.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new)! Remember to be as descriptive as possible so we can hone in on a solution and get you back to your tasks.

Before you enter the Dropship, let's take a moment to talk about one of the more recent bugs that's had an impact on Among Us.

##### Disconnects and Temporary Bans

When we released 16.0.0, we saw more black screen errors reported by players when trying to start a round. This would crash the game and give out an incorrect temporary ban (like in the screenshot above), which made for an understandably frustrating experience.

Let's break down how the temporary bans work:

-  Temp bans exist to discourage players from disrupting the game flow. This can be for things like: repeatedly leaving games before they're over, or leaving right after role reveals because you didn't get the Impostor role.

-  Leaving one game before it's over _shouldn't_ result in an immediate temp ban.

-  Leaving multiple games before they conclude will start to count against you and potentially get you a temp ban.

-  Before the 16.0.0 update, you could completely close Among Us, and that would clear a temp ban. Now, this isn't possible.

-  With the last hotfix (16.0.2), we tweaked how you could get a temp ban. Now, if you disconnect from the game before roles are revealed, that won't count against you.

Now, you should see far fewer instances of getting a false temp ban (AKA super long timeout) because of a black screen or game crash.

That was a lot of info! Hopefully, this helps clarify what's been happening. Before we go, let's dive into the Fun Zone!

One of my favorite parts about writing these blog posts is sharing the creations y'all come up with. Without further ado, let's start off with some art from our official (https://discord.com/invite/innersloth).

This piece is rad looking bean is by Zel! Gotta say, those Kamurocho cosmetics go pretty hard. I wouldn't mess with Lime.

This next piece also comes from the art

Matchmaker, find me a match!

Update **16.0.0** is here and brings an important change to Among Us! Remember to update your game so you get these changes and can keep betraying everyone.

##### Matchmaking Update

HERE. WE. GO. Our overhauled matchmaking is here! The team made changes thanks to your responses to last year's player feedback survey. Your thoughts have had a big influence on the kind of chaos we bring in updates like this. Thanks for helping shape Among Us.

##### Finding Games

At the core of matchmaking, we want to make sure you have the right tools to find the lobby you want. With that in mind, our team put their heads together and cooked up this new interface:

Doesn't that look snazzy? The screen delivers key info at a glance like: the amount of lobbies currently online in your server region, the map, and how many Crewmates there are. We added the player speed and if roles are activated too. With all these visible right away, you can quickly choose a lobby if you're trying to jump into a round.

We've heard your cries for improved filtering! Now you can fine tune your searches via the "Filters" button. When you do, you'll see this new screen:

In the "**Filters**" screen you can choose the settings you'd like to home in on for your preferred lobby. Choices include:

-  Classic

-  Hide n Seek

-  Maps

-  Number of Impostors

-  Roles

-  Player Speed

-  Kill cooldown

-  Voting time

-  Visual tasks

-  Anonymous votes

-  Confirm ejects

-  Tags (Beginner, Intermediate, Expert)

After you select your settings and close the tab, you'll see how many lobbies match your choices and be able to join. **If you can't find any games with the settings you chose, either unselect some or choose the "clear filters" option to wipe all the filters at once and start over!** This just means you've gotten too specific.

When you find a lobby you're ready to join, you can either tap the listing to dive right in or click "More" and see the game details:

If the lobby settings look good to you, it's time to join and investigate some Impostors (or at least carry your fellow Crewmates).

##### Lobby Creation

For those Crewmates who like holding the reins and creating lobbies - your experience has been upgraded too. After you select **Play** and **Online** you'll see 3 options: **Create Game**, **Enter Code**, and **Find Game**. When you choose **Create Game** you'll see this:

Along with the cute animation every time you increase the player capacity, you'll be able to choose between:

-  Classic and Hide n Seek modes

-  The 5 maps

-  Tags

-  Server regions

-  Chat types

-  Chat language

When you select "Create Game" you'll see a confirmation screen before it's set in stone and unchangeable forever... _bwahahahahahaha_ (not really - you can always change these).

"_But what about the roles and visual tasks and confirming votes...?_" You'll still be able to edit these settings once you're in the Dropship by going to the good ol' laptop and editing the settings from the [menu we updated previously](https://www.innersloth.com/new-roles-enter-the-fray-v2024-6-18-emergency-meeting-38/):

##### Joining a Game

Among Us is best when playing with your friends (and soon to be enemies). When one of them sends you a lobby code to join a match you'll have an updated screen as well:

Now, when you enter a code you'll be able to confirm the host, lobby capacity, region, and the chat type. If all looks in order, you can click "**Join Game**" and enter the lobby. And don't worry if your chat type or region don't match - the game will update this for you (as long as you have permissions to use Free Chat) so you can focus on the upcoming chaos!

Wooooo - that was a lot of info. If you find it a bit confusing, check out our [handy tutorial](https://youtu.be/Ftf3-MpJjeM). We hope these changes make it WAY easier for you to find that perfect lobby and be the impressive Impostors you really are.

As you start getting used to the new setup, we'

First things first, we’re excited to share that Innersloth just turned 10 years old! Technically, our 10th anniversary was on January 5th LOL but shhh…. We were still vacationing, so this is close enough.

Now that we’re back though, we're excited to party with you and will be giving away an exclusive Sloth mask! The mask will drop on **January 8 at 18:00 UTC** and be available until **April 8 at 17:00 UTC**, so keep your visors peeled.

Our Sloth Fathers, PuffballsUnited and ForteBass wanted to pass along a message to everyone reading.

_Hello everyone!

Marcus and Forest here, we just wanted to give our biggest thanks to everyone for supporting Innersloth for the last ten years!

Whether you were a fan from (https://www.innersloth.com/games/dig2china/) or [Among Us](https://www.innersloth.com/games/among-us/) (maybe you even played [Henry Stickmin](https://www.innersloth.com/games/the-henry-stickmin-collection/) on Newgrounds before Innersloth???), it's been so wonderful to see everyone enjoy and play our games. Here's a few shout outs maybe you were around for:

-  Like the first 10 Discord members were all Moldovans, shout out to those folks.

-  Shout outs to Buddy, wherever you are.

-  Of course, shout outs to (https://www.newgrounds.com/). Marcus and a few others at Innersloth wouldn't be where they are now without it.

-  Shout outs to Adobe, please fix some bugs in Flash (aka Adobe Animate).

-  Shout out to all the partner business that got us through the pandemic.

-  Thank you for holding our hands during Mr. Bone's Wild Ride.

-  Thanks to all of the moderators - past and present - for manning our Discord, Reddit, and In-Game.

-  Finally, thanks to anyone who ever made or shared a Crewmate meme. We loved.... almost all of them.

We've grown so much since Among Us blew up and are now able to share our dream with so many people thanks to your support. We have so many projects started now:

-  [Outersloth funding games](https://www.innersloth.com/outersloth-our-new-indie-game-fund/)

-  [The Among Us TV Show](https://www.innersloth.com/among-us-show/)

-  Two whole new games in progress.

We're so excited to share all of it with you in the coming years.

Anyways, idk what else to say so thank you again so much from Marcus, myself and everyone at Innersloth._

Wiping my tears as I type ;-; For real though, thank you all for the support you’ve given us throughout the years! We look forward to many more birthdays and we’re happy we get to celebrate with all you cool beans.

Speaking of celebrations… If you haven't turned up and claimed the 2025 NYE cosmetic yet, this is your last chance! It'll be available until January 31st at 07:00 UTC, so redeem before it's thrown into the abyss forever.

And that’s it for now! I’ve got many, many pizza slices to inhale at our birthday party before y’all join in lolol, so we’ll see ya there and Dors will be back for another update next month.

Until then! With an already-pretty-full tummy, but an appetite for za like no other,

Sofi
