After waiting several months, fans can now play around with the Airship map in Among Us. The latest update to the hit social deduction game from InnerSloth introduces more than just a new map, however. It also includes new tasks, new rooms, free hats, and more. Here's everything fans should know about what's included in Among Us' Airship update.
Now that the Airship map is finally live, many players are getting to experience it for the first time. A glitch caused some Switch players to see the Airship early last year, but now the final product is officially in-game. Ahead of the Airship's release, InnerSloth announced a series of free hats that would be included in the update. This means players now have access to hats like Chocolate Ice Cream, Unicorn, and Rubber Glove at no additional cost.
The Airship map, which is based off a similar vessel in InnerSloth's Henry Stickmin games, also includes a number of new rooms. The new rooms in Among Us' new map include the Kitchen and Showers, and several rooms from existing maps have been reused here with different names. For instance, MedBay is listed as Medical on the Airship's map. New features found in various rooms include ladders for climbing, slow-moving platforms, and a "gap room" that's split into left and right sides.
New Tasks & Features In Among Us' Airship Map
A new account system for Among Us is also included in the Airship update. Players can choose to play in Guest Mode instead, but signing up for an account will come with a number of benefits. The perks of having an account include the ability to use free chat (Guest Mode players have to use the Quick Chat wheel instead), as well as getting to create a display name (conversely, Guest Mode players have to choose from a list of random names). The new account system is also a great way to report abusive or cheating players, and it's a feature that many fans have asked for, so it's nice to see that it's finally included with the game.
The Airship map also features a number of tasks. While several new tasks were confirmed or teased in the Airship trailer at The Game Awards 2020, the arrival of the map in-game means that players are discovering all these new tasks for themselves. Some of the new tasks in the Airship update include jewel polishing and emptying trash, which means there's even more stuff for players to do.
Overall, the Airship map is a great addition to Among Us. With its large, open rooms and new gameplay features like ladders, as well as the interesting new tasks and free hats, the Airship appears to have been worth the wait.
