InnerSloth is responsible for the creation of one of the most addictive games for this year. Among Us reached the apex of its viewership in September this year but got plagued by cheaters soon after. The devs have announced an interesting update for the players, hoping to turn things around.

Among Us gets yet another update but isn’t as prominent. Along with resolving some bug fixes, it brings a handful of fresh additions to the pre-existing features. In addition, some beloved beta features of the game have also been added, but these would only be available for non PC users.

Apart from a few tweaks to the features in the game, the devs have also announced their future plans.

This is what the devs had to say, “Firstly, we want to be sure to talk about cheating and hacking going on. It was pretty bad there for a bit, so Forte pushed out server changes really fast. They seemed to help a lot, but some cheats still work and now there are bugs too.”

They concluded by saying, “There will be more server updates to fix all of this, but rushing anti-hacks is what caused the bugs, so cleaning things up is a slower process. Also, rest assured that any threats made in the game are false and your devices and data are safe. If you see a hacker, ban them or find a different room.”

The devs have pointed out that they would be adding accounts to the game by December. Making in-game accounts would allow the players to block the hackers. On the other hand, in-game accounts would also allow the players to be in more control of their friend lists.

The devs gave yet another interesting update. They announced that a new map is currently under development. This would be added to the game sooner than we think and would be bigger and better. This map would also contain more tasks to give the game another interesting dimension.

Moreover, the devs are working on integrating more languages. This would allow the game to have a multi-dimensional approach, as it could permeate far and wide.

The update also marks the first attempt at providing colorblind support. It might not be perfect, but the devs have promised to keep monitoring it to make the experience better with every update.
