Down below is a detailed summary of all these exciting changes coming to Among Us, so continue reading if you’re interested in learning more!
What Are The Exciting Changes Coming To Among Us?
Before we dive into all the details, you should probably know exactly what these changes coming to Among Us are exactly. Following is everything set to be added to the game in the future:
- An Entirely New Map
- An Option for Color Blind Mode
- Accounts System
- Friends System
- Server Issue Fixes
- Other Minor Bug and Exploit Fixes
1. Among Us’ New Map
The most important and exciting addition coming to Among Us is arguably the new map which has been confirmed. We only got Polus in the game as a free-to-join map a few months ago in the middle of 2020, and now it’s been confirmed that an entirely new map is coming too. There have been little details shared about this map though, so we don’t have too much to get excited about at this point. It has been confirmed that players will finally be able to get a look at the new map on the 10th of December, 2020 during the annual Game Awards event.
One huge detail about this map has been confirmed though, and this detail is that the map is going to be heavily inspired by the Henry Stickmin games. There are many references to these games in Among Us already, and we’re about to see a whole map that will be dedicated to them. We’ve got an image of the map which shows us that it’s going to be extremely similar to the ship in Henry Stickmin, and we’ll get to know even more on December 10 when we get our first detailed look at the map during The Game Awards.
2. Color Blind Mode
Some people might not realize it, but the colorblind coming to Among Us in the major update is a huge feature that most will appreciate. Among Us is basically unplayable if you’re color blind, but that’s all going to change thanks to this feature. Colorblind people will be able to play the game without any problems in identifying different players or completing color based tasks. All in all, this was a heavily required feature in Among Us and it’s great news that it’s finally being added in the major update.
3. Accounts and Friends System
Another one of the best and most important things being added is an accounts system, which is arguably the most awaited feature of them all. This will finally allow players in Among Us to create their own accounts in the game and according to the developers, even report other players that are toxic, exploiting, cheating, or abusive. This will make Among Us a much more enjoyable game and every single match a much more enjoyable experience.
But that isn’t the main highlight at all, as the accounts system also opens the door to a friend system is Among Us! To be quite frank, there’s not exactly much fun in playing in public lobbies thanks to all the toxic or cheating players. But there are some rare occurrences where you find some great players that are respectful and smart. You’ll now be able to befriend these random players in Among Us and get to play with them again whenever you want. It will also be a lot easier to fill private lobbies with good players this way instead of having to let random players join that may or may not be fun to play with.
4. Server and Minor Bug Fixes
Server issues are one of the only bad things that you’ll be able to find when it comes to Among Us. The game is generally great, but there’s been a lot of problems with servers in recent times thanks to the millions of new players that have started playing the game all of a sudden. Players get randomly disconnected from games, are unable to join public or private lobbies, or play in a specific server at all during some times because of all these different server issues. This is definitely very annoying, but the developers have given players confirmation that a solution to these different server problems is definitely coming. Players can expect a lot fewer disconnects and a lot better performances once said solution goes live.
There’s also going to be some other minor fixes as well that will make the experience more enjoyable in their own way. We’ve also received news from the people behind the game that they’re taking extra steps to get rid of hackers and exploiters, which is another great thing. The anti-cheat system which was recently implemented was certainly effective at getting rid of all the hackers, but some have found ways to get past that as well. There’s little to worry about now though, as a majority of them should either get banned or stop using hacks once the developers deliver on their promise.
How This All Effects the Game
Among Us is definitely going to feel like a much different game when all these exciting major changes are dropped for the public, and it must be said that it is for the better. If all these changes turn out to be as great as they seem, Among Us will definitely be an even more enjoyable game. A new map, accounts and friends, better server performances, and a stand against hackers is definitely something to look forward to if you like playing Among Us!
