An Among Us and Brawlhalla crossover has been hinted at by both games. Among Us first released in 2018 but has undergone a resurgence in popularity over the course of the last year. It was first made popular when a series of high-profile Twitch personalities began streaming Among Us to their large audiences. From there, it only took a short while before the online multiplayer social deduction game took off.
Since then, the popular title has gone on to sell millions of copies across multiple platforms including Android, IOS, and Windows. It didn't take very long for Among Us to outperform other AAA competitors such as Ghost of Tsushima, FIFA 21, and several others. Among Us even launched on the Nintendo Switch in December of last year. There are plans to release versions that are compatible with the Xbox One and Xbox Series X and Series S later this year.
Now it appears that a crossover between the two games may be on the horizon. The official Among Us Twitter account started a thread with Brawlhalla's Twitter account, which led to a conversation discusses the idea of a future partnership. The posts are already alerting fans about the possibility of a forthcoming collaboration featuring each hugely popular title. It is unclear what exactly a crossover might entail at this point. Both titles are expected to release new information concerning this future development soon.
Brawlhalla was developed by Blue Mammoth Games, which was then acquired by Ubisoft in 2018. The free-to-play game is available on Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, and PlayStation 4. Brawlhalla has earned its popularity for its fighting mechanics and shares some similarities with Super Smash Bros. Minor differences such as each fighter being equipped with two weapon styles as opposed to just one has carved out Brawlhalla's status as a unique option in the platformer fighter genre.
While Among Us and Brawlhalla differ in many ways, the games also share similarities that speak to their simple nature. In a period in which the gaming industry is being heavily dominated by games comprising complex plots, elaborate characters, and difficult-to-master control schemes, games like Among Us and Brawlhalla continue to appeal to gamers who wish to sit back and enjoy simple games. Both Brawlhalla and Among Us have popular mods from fans to customize their experiences. Many are excited by the prospect of a collaboration between the two heavy hitters. It certainly makes sense. A crossover would be a fun option to celebrate the craziness and unpredictability of the past year.
