Among Us gets a physical release packs with crewmate plush and more extras

Among Us is receiving a physical release, which will hit retailers later this year. This version of the multiplayer deduction game will have three versions, each with its own set of extras for diehard fans to enjoy.

Among Us is quite possibly one of the biggest sleeper hits in gaming. The game was initially released in 2018, but didn’t gain popularity until 2020. Its social nature and “whodunnit” based gameplay became a hit with major streamers, turning it into a big hit during social lockdowns during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Its first physical release is coming from publisher Maximum Games in the form of three separate collector’s editions for the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Each version includes the actual game plus all the DLCs and builds upon the goodies of the last. The special editions do not have a set release date yet, but will launch sometime this year.

A $30 Crewmate Edition includes extras like stickers and a lenticular case. Bumping up to $50 gets players a purple crewmate plush, a collector’s box, and more. For the most dedicated players, a $90 Ejected Edition throws in a fleece, beanie, and more.

Here’s what each edition includes and how much it’ll cost, per the official Maximum Games website.

The Wolf Among Us 2 will launch in five parts next year

More than two years after its reveal at The Game Awards 2019, Telltale Games re-revealed The Wolf Among Us 2 on The Game Awards' YouTube channel today. A new trailer was released and a 2023 launch was confirmed.
The trailer follows Bigby as he discusses his tactics as a private investigator to a support group and confronts some magical criminals, including the Scarecrow and Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz. His opponents get the upper hand, but Bigby becomes a werewolf to fight back.
The Wolf Among Us 2 - OFFICIAL Full Trailer (2022)
In an interview after the trailer, the developers explained that this game takes place six months after the first game. It will follow Snow White and Bigby as they try to rebuild Fabletown in a less corrupt way. The presentation also confirmed that Adam Harrington and Erin Yvette will reprise their roles as Bigby and Snow White, respectively. The actors teased increased tensions between the two characters as Bigby is a loose cannon and Snow White doesn't want to pick favorites while she's mayor.
The whole season will last five episodes, though Telltale and developer AdHoc teased that episodes won't come out until all of them are done and can be released in quick succession. As such, it seems like all episodes will be out in 2023, and we won't have to wait several months between each piece of the story like we did with season 1.
The Wolf Among Us 2 will be released for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S in 2023. The PC version will be an Epic Games Store exclusive at launch.

Among Us VR mode lets players act sus in first person

Innersloth's Among Us, the massively popular multiplayer game of cartoonish Mafia, is going to let players step into the suits of its crewmates soon. A VR version of Among Us was revealed at tonight's Game Awards show. with a quick trailer showing the game in action.

Among Us VR is fairly self-explanatory -- it's the game everyone knows, but in a virtual reality setting. It still splits players into two groups: Crewmates and imposters. The former has to complete tasks and identify the imposters, while the latter has to stealthily slay any and all crewmates, all while maintaining their cover. The trick is that players will have to complete their tasks and take out other players in VR, which will likely require a bit more dexterity than the PC and console versions of the game.

Among Us roles guide: How to play as the Shapeshifter, Engineer, Guardian Angel, and Scientist
Among Us Crewmates presenting the Cosmicube update.

The social deduction game that took the internet by storm isn't out of surprises just yet. We already knew that Among Us developer InnerSloth at one time had plans to make a sequel to their game. Once it became the phenomenon that it did, their plans changed to continue supporting the simple yet addicting original. That extra support has finally resulted in the biggest update to the game yet, including new achievements, costumes to purchase in a new store, an XP system, and perhaps the most substantial change, the introduction of four new roles players can take.

These roles, the Shapeshifter, Engineer, Guardian Angel, and Scientist, spice up the now-familiar routine of crewmates and imposters attempting to deceive or expose the others. That will still be the main focus of the game; however, these roles will add a new layer of mechanics for both sides that promises to make matches even more dynamic and unpredictable. Whether you're a master of deduction and subterfuge, or interested in jumping into this hit social deduction game for the first time, you'll need to understand how these roles work. Hit the emergency meeting button because we've got all the info on these new Among Us roles right here.
