InnerSloth has just confirmed that Among Us 2 has been canceled just a month after it was announced. Among Us 2 would have been the sequel to the original game which has taken over by storm and is one of the top trending games on Twitch.
In a blogpost by InnerSloth, the developer revealed their plans to work on the original Among Us game and to make it even better instead of working on a sequel.
Us devs have had several long discussions about what we want to do with the game. When do we stop working on Among Us 1? What content goes into Among Us 2? The main reason we are shooting for a sequel is because the codebase of Among Us 1 is so outdated and not built to support adding so much new content. However, seeing how many people are enjoying Among Us 1 really makes us want to be able to support the game and take it to the next level. We have decided to cancel Among Us 2 and instead put all our focus into improving Among Us 1. All of the content we had planned for Among Us 2 will instead go into Among Us 1. This is probably the more difficult choice because it means going deep into the core code of the game and reworking several parts of it. We have lots of things planned and we’re excited to bring new content to everyone as you continue to enjoy playing!
The developer also shared future plants for the game starting which includes a new stage and other improvements to gameplay. The new stage is still very early in development as the team has just started designing the layout of the map.
The theme has been settled on though! The next stage in Among Us is going to be a Henry Stickmin themed location!
The developer is also working on the servers to fix the server issues raised by many players. However, no time frame was provided on when things can get better. Other improvements include the colorblind support, and friends/account system, but again there aren’t any details shared for both the gameplay improvement features.
