The plan for the next big Among Us update has just been revealed, and although when it will arrive is still unknown, fans are getting excited. The developers are working on adding a lot of new content to Among Us, and after the Airship map released, InnerSloth promised future updates will happen faster. With new features on the way, Among Us fans are curious about what those additions will look like. Now, they finally have an idea.
Fans have been waiting for enhanced lobby sizes for quite some time. The standard 10-player lobby has gotten old for many players and an increase can change up the mechanics of the game. Colors have also been a point of contention for crewmates who want to express themselves with new shades – adding hats and pets just isn’t cutting it anymore. There is a lot of content players want to be added to the game and InnerSloth has confirmed only a few of those anticipated features. In a content roadmap, InnerSloth revealed that a full art style revamp and larger lobby sizes are on the way, although the date that those features will arrive is currently as mysterious as the Imposter.
In a recent tweet from Among Us, the developers unveiled the latest plans for future updates. Listed with stars, the developers promise fifteen-player lobbies, new player colors, and an improved art style. There will also be bug fixes and other improvements to Among Us, but what those fixes are has not been confirmed.
The photo included in the tweet shows the Airship map with fifteen avatars – one in the cockpit and fourteen in the records room. Though it’s possible the image is photoshopped, it’s more likely that the developers have begun testing the increased player count feature, which could mean a drop is just around the corner. The news is exciting for many players, especially since new crewmate colors are being added. Among Us players have been looking forward to enhanced customization options and the need for a larger variety of colors is imperative with an increased lobby size.
Colors might also have to be more diverse, especially since players oftentimes identify one another by color and confusing cyan for blue could result in a vote for the wrong player. What is missing in the tweet is a reference to a new map. There is a lot of speculation as to where the next murder-mystery location will take place, with many guessing that an underground map is incoming.
It’s possible that InnerSloth will be focusing more on features of the game rather than a new map, especially since Airship dropped recently. As long as updates are close players will likely be happy, and Among Us’ latest tweet could be an indication that those additions are closer than previously thought.
