5 Cool Things To Know About The New Among Us Map
Among Us developers Innersloth teased an entirely new map for the game. This surprised many, as the Polus map in the game only came out some months ago which is why no one expected that an entirely new map would be releasing so soon. But after the recent huge surge in popularity of Among Us, the developers claim that they wished to add yet another map to the game, likely to keep the game from getting too repetitive. Little information was shared with players regarding the new map, expect for the fact that it was based on the iconic Henry Stickmin series which was also made by Innersloth. But all this has changed now!
Every Important Detail You Should Know About the New Among Us Map
At the Game Awards 2020 event, players finally got to see exactly what this new map is and all the new things that it brings to the game. Here is a summary of all the important information regarding Among Us’ new map, which has officially been title ‘’The Airship’’.
1. The Lore Behind the Airship
Among Us is a very cute looking game at first glance with adorable bean shaped characters that everyone loves. Even the developers and social media accounts make it out to be a cute game, but it is the exact opposite of that when you get invested into the lore of Among Us. The game is actually quite dark at its core, which is quite obvious once you learn more about the story behind the game.
As with every map released for Among Us over the years, the Airship also progresses the story and dives deeper into the world of the game, as well as the struggle of the crewmates to get rid of all the impostors. We know little in this department so far, except for the fact that it’s likely we are now inside the planet of the crewmates and that the Airship is likely connected to Polus in more ways than one. But that isn’t confirmed so far, so we’ll just have to wait and see for now.
2. New Cosmetics
Another thing that you probably know about at this point is that a new map also means a lot of new cosmetics based around the map. For example, there were the skins that released alongside Polus and all those that paid for the map before it way available for free got these limited edition skins. They also got other cosmetics related to the game other than these skins, such as Polus themed hats and all. It has been confirmed that we’ll be seeing Airship themed cosmetics as well when the map finally arrives. What these cosmetics will be to be exact remains to be seem.
Some little details shared about the cosmetics confirmed that a lot of the new cosmetics being added alongside the Airship will be Henry Stickmin themed, exactly like the map itself which is also based on Henry Stickmin. We already have some cosmetics based on the popular game, such as a small Henry Stickmin pet and more, so it’s interesting to see how these will be different.
3. Price
One of the things that most people are worried about is the price of the new map in Among Us. For a short while, Polus and all its exclusive cosmetics were only available to the people that paid for it. This was the only way players could play Polus until it was made free for everyone, but all the exclusive cosmetics obviously only remained for players that paid. Because of this, many are worried if they’ll have to pay to unlock the Airship before it is made free some months later.
Luckily, Innersloth has confirmed that no such thing will be happening again in the case of the Airship. The map will be free to play from the start and the millions that currently play Among Us can dive right into it the second that its released. The exclusive cosmetics for the Airship which were mentioned above are probably going to be paid DLC though.
4. All the New Tasks and Features
Every single map before the Airship has had exclusive tasks. For examples, there’s the watering can task in Mira HQ, the nodes in Polus, and the engine alignment task in the Skeld, as well as many more depending on the task in question. So, as expected, the Airship will have exclusive tasks as well. As we’ve learnt from the presentation at the Game Awards 2020, the new Airship map will have lots of new tasks that will add more to the game. A couple of new tasks which we saw showed one of the players inspecting and cleaning up a gem. Another task is a new take on the garbage task found in all other maps. This task requires players to take out a trash bag from a small bin and sort it out so that the garbage bag can fit into the bin. For now, these two tasks are the new ones which are confirmed.
There’s also lots of other cool features to look out for as well. One of these is the feature which allows you to decide exactly which room you want to spawn in. Rather than spawning in one main room with all other crewmates, each crewmate has the option to decide which specific room they want to spawn in. There are a total of three different options, and players don’t get to know which other player chose to spawn in which room. There are also ladders and floating platforms in the new map which will greatly effect movement and allow even crewmates to travel the relatively huge new map in a quicker amount of time.
5. Release Date
That’s pretty much a wrap for the list of all the important things we know about the new map introduced in Among Us. Among Us developers reveal an all-new map, The Airship, coming early 2021 – The Verge As there’s no price, you’ll be able to jump into the Airship with your friends and millions of other players as soon as it launches.
