The Airship is the newest map coming to Among Us, and fans of the social deduction game from InnerSloth are eagerly awaiting its arrival. In the past, new maps have come to Among Us every year or so since its initial release in 2018. So, what new maps may be coming to the game after the Airship?
The Airship map was fully unveiled at The Game Awards 2020, and it was given an early 2021 release date. Beyond that, fans aren't really sure when to expect the new Airship map. Even though the Airship hasn't made it into the game quite yet, many people are already looking ahead to see what other new maps will be coming to Among Us in the future.
Typically, new maps have come to Among Us every year or so. Both Mira HQ and Polus were added in late 2019, about a year after the game's release. The Airship is the biggest Among Us map yet, so it's taking just slightly longer to get into the game. Reasonably, this means more new maps in Among Us probably won't happen in 2021, although additional maps are still probably going to be added in the future. The real question is what these maps will look like, and based on previous ones InnerSloth has added, there are some pretty good guesses.
What Among Us' New Maps Could Look Like
The last two maps in Among Us have had close ties to Henry Stickmin, which is also made by InnerSloth. The Airship is directly from The Henry Stickmin Collection, and Polus is named after a character from the game as well. The Museum would make a logical next map in Among Us, since it was a major location in Henry Stickmin. A tropical or forest location, seen in Henry Stickmin's Completing the Mission, also makes a lot of sense, and it's something players haven't seen in Among Us yet.
If new maps do arrive in Among Us, they will probably be in the distant future. InnerSloth is a small indie studio, so development can take some time. It's always possible the Airship is the final map coming to the game, and new maps could be added in Among Us 2. The sequel is still cancelled for now, but with the popularity of Among Us, InnerSloth will surely release a follow-up game at some point - and new maps would be a major selling point for a sequel.
InnerSloth is expected to release a public roadmap of planned updates and changes, although the roadmap hasn't gone live yet. Until then, fans won't really know what to expect. However, new maps after the Airship will surely come to either Among Us or a sequel in the near future, and there's a good chance these maps may be pulled from The Henry Stickmin Collection, too.
