Among Us, a multiplayer social deduction game has a meteoric rise to fame in 2020. This increase in popularity has given it a new lease on life, and developer Innersloth has now released the Roles and Cosmicubes Update, which includes a slew of much-anticipated additions.
Innersloth is a small indie firm that has been working hard to improve the game for fans. The addition of new Roles to the game, including three for Crewmates—Scientists, Engineers, and Guardian Angels—and one for Impostors known as Shapeshifters, is one aspect of this update.
As shown in a new trailer, each of these new jobs will add new dynamics to Among Us. Scientists will be able to examine the health of other Crewmates using a portable vitals panel, which could make it more difficult for Impostors to hide a murder.
However, the panel must be charged, which presents Scientists with a unique challenge. Engineers will be the first Crewmates to gain access to the vents, allowing them to travel fast across the map and maybe catch Impostors venting. The first Crewmate slain will be granted the Guardian Angel position, which allows them to shield live Crewmates from harm temporarily. At the same time, Impostors will be given the Shapeshifter duty, which allows them to disguise themselves as other Crewmates temporarily.
Cosmicubes, a Battle Pass-style progression system that can be purchased in the Shop and triggered to provide players unique rewards, is also included in the update. Only one Cosmicube can be triggered at a time, however multiple Cosmicubes can be purchased and saved for later use, and each Cosmicube has its own set of routes.

As if that weren’t enough to pique fans’ interest, Among Us has also introduced Beans, a new currency that can be won through gameplay and used to purchase additional cosmetics. In this version, achievements, visor cosmetics, nameplates, and account linking have all been added to Among Us.
As of this writing, it looks that fans of The Among Us are looking forward to the upcoming update. Several fans praised the trailer’s production values, while others were ecstatic at how many new features had been added to the game all at once. One user commented that seeing someone ranting will no longer be guaranteed evidence of guilt. At the same time, another praised the new microtransactions in Among Us as one of the best methods to make in-game purchases.
