Our brand new update, **v2024.6.18** is available for all players. **You _NEED_ to update the game if you want to play the new roles with everyone and see all the changes!** Buckle up cause there's a lot of fun stuff to talk about! Update **v2024.6.18** is here and brings changes under the dropship hood and some more obvious changes like our lobby settings. First up let's talk about those new roles- [watch the trailer below](https://youtu.be/8QSyEOICYSo). ##### New Crewmate Role - Tracker 📡 Grab your bandana or maybe a shrub to hide behind as you keep tabs on a Crewmate. The Tracker has the ability to well... track a Crewmate's location via the map for a limited amount of time. Catch those Impostors in a lie about where they've been and save the crew - or not... ##### New Crewmate Role - Noisemaker 🔊 AAaaaAaAAAaaaAHHHhhh No, the Noisemaker doesn't actually sound like that, but they do sound off when they become the poor victim of an Impostor kill. There's also a visual indicator of their death that appears on screen so your fellow Crewmates can run to catch the Impostor red handed (even if it's not Red). ##### New Impostor Role - Phantom 👻 If you've ever wanted to just up and disappear when you're the Impostor, I have great news. Our new Impostor role, the Phantom, has the ability to turn invisible! Want to escape after the perfect kill? Active your ability and sneak right by those ~~dum~~ Crewmates. Just remember it's for a limited time to plan your escapes and appearances well! ##### Lobby Settings When you spawn in the lobby you'll notice that there's a big empty space where the lobby settings used to be! Our user interface expert, Lucy, worked really hard with our programmers to make the settings look beautiful and only a button click away. The right side of the screen now has a menu to clearly display the **room code**, **map**, **number of Crewmates**, **privacy**, and **game setting presets** - more on that later. When you're a Crewmate waiting for the host, you'll be able to view the settings that are applied by selecting '**View**' to pop out a handy overview menu so you can see what the host has set up. If you're the host, you'll have a slightly different menu to tweak and dial in the settings for the next round when you select the '**Edit**' button. In our handy dandy gif (_pronounce it jif and you get ejected_), you can find our Game Presets I mentioned earlier! Those allow you to quickly change the setup between two options: **Core Settings** - for those looking for a classic Among Us feel with no extra roles. Just you, your fellow Crewmates, and some Impostors. **Roles Galore** - for those looking to spice up their lobbies by adding in roles to the mix (mmmmm, rolls). You can set the chances of the **Tracker**, **Engineer**, **Scientist**, **Guardian Angel**, **Shapeshifter**, and **Phantom** to be in the game. We also have two presets available for **Hide N Seek**: **Pitch Dark** - for those courageous Crewmates who want to hide in the darkness without a flashlight. **Flashlights** - for those who like shining the light on things... like your Crewmates killed by the Seeker. ##### Patch Notes That's a lot of newness happening, but it wasn't just new items the team was working on. We also have a lot of patches so be sure to update your game to **v2024.6.18** for these fixes: - The Fungle - Crewmates wont be stuck in the ladder climb animation if a Mushroom Mixup happens while climbing a ladder - Shapeshifters who are climbing a ladder when a meeting is called will not longer get stuck in the climbing animation - Airship and The Fungle as Shapeshifter - The Shapeshift duration timer now counts down correctly under all conditions - Classic and Hide N Seek - Desolation of Skeld Pet will now appear during matches and not guard their hoard in the dropship - Quick Chat - Text in the chat field will have the same colors as the quick chat builder - iOS - The "Pending Accoun _[Truncated at 4000 characters — full notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/945360/view/4145080939170955852]_
