Among Us: First Look at New Animated Series
Six years after the launch of Among Us, it seems new crewmates are ready to board the doomed spaceship, this time in an animated series.
On Friday at the Summer Games Fest, Innersloth unveiled the first trailer for Among Us. It shows off the various Crewmates aboard a ship that players will recognize as the Skeld. They perform multiple tasks while a shadowy presence watches them in the background. Currently, the animated series has yet to reveal a release date.
Among Us is a social deduction game initially released in 2018 by Innersloth. The goal of the game is to locate the “Imposters” hiding among a group of 10 “Crewmates,” all while the “Imposters” are trying to kill everyone else.
Though initially released to little fanfare, Among Us received a massive popularity spike during the COVID-19 pandemic due to its social elements. People interacted and spoke through the game when socializing in person was impossible. As a result, it has since dominated the internet and streaming culture through memes, promotions, and various online activities.
