InnerSloth’s Among us was easily one of the biggest surprises of 2020. Although the game was initially released in 2018, it received a lot of attention last year when it became a breakthrough hit on Twitch. Suddenly, the game found the mainstream appeal it had eluded, and the developer was caught off guard by the renewed attention. With a new year ahead, InnerSloth is hard at work to maintain that interest, and it seems there are surprises the company has yet to discuss publicly. In a new interview with GameSpot’s Lucy James, InnerSloth’s Victoria Tran briefly discussed the prospect of future revelations.
“We have some secrets in the making that unfortunately I can’t talk about,” said Tran.
That doesn’t give fans much to keep going, but the prospect of more content should be pretty exciting. InnerSloth was clearly unprepared for the heightened interest in the game, and has changed quite a few plans as a result.
“That was terrifying and amazing and amazing and there really isn’t an English word to make people understand how surprising and amazing it was,” said Tran.
When it comes to gaming success stories, it’s hard to compare Among us. While many games have garnered more interest long after their initial release, that often happens when it’s too late for a developer to take advantage of them. That has not been the case Among us, and InnerSloth appears to be in a good position to capitalize. The developer has made a number of future updates to the game, including a new Airship map.
As with any online game, keeping interest is easier said than done. Gamers can be notoriously fickle and often move on to the next big thing, despite a developer’s best efforts. It remains to be seen if that will be the case Among us, but with InnerSloth hard at work looking for new ways to improve the game, it seems likely that its success will continue for the foreseeable future.
Among us is currently available on iOS, Android, Nintendo Switch and PC. You can check out all of our previous coverage of the game here.
