This way, no one will suspect when you run interference in the sabotage rooms, nor will they think you're a killer going around the ship wondering how to take out every one.

- The Leader Strategy: If you’re the impostor and you manage to pitch yourself and the tidy, active and strategic leader, you may lead the team, this will consequently let everyone think you're one of the good ones. To master this role, keep in mind what you comment and the rhythm you interact with. If you’re hyperactive, others may suspect that you’re too much into showing off something… or hiding it?

- The Master Strategy: the objective in Among Us is to sabotage all the work done by the crew while eliminating them without getting caught, right?

What's new with the big update?

After the huge success that accompanied the game in the first months after its release, the number of participants began to decrease from October 2020. The decline in interest in the game is associated with the fact that it has been attacked by numerous hackers that hinder the gameplay. To remedy the situation, its creators are rolling out the December update where they will seriously rework the game, as well as introduce important modifications and tricks.

The creators of the game have assured users that hackers’ intrusion in the game does not threaten the personal data of players stored on their devices. "If you see a hacker, kill him or find another room," - advises Innersloth.

Individual accounts

Developers were able to quickly fix some bugs, but the December big update will fully protect the game from hacks and bugs. Now players don’t have individual accounts, which allows hackers to quietly enter the game space. After the December update, each player will have to make an account, and users will be able to add their friends, as well as report all cases of incorrect behavior in the game.

New roadmap

In addition to improving protection against intruders, the game will also have a new roadmap, which will be available for free to all players. As promised by the developers, it will contain many new tasks!

Anonymous voting

And that's not all - a new option of anonymous voting will also appear. When using this feature, all votes in the meeting will be displayed in gray.

New taskbar modes

Moreover, the game will have 3 taskbar modes: the "Always" mode will work as usual, in "Meeting" mode the taskbar will be hidden until the meeting is called, and in "Invisible" mode the taskbar will be completely deleted.

We are also promised effects for the meeting screen and much more... All we have to do is wait until December, try out the new features and make sure that users will enjoy the introduction of accounts and the increased complexity of the game space.
