'Among Us' adds anonymous voting option, shares plans for new map, accounts system

Are you one of the many people who got sucked into the "Among Us" hype?

Good news, developer InnerSloth just announced that they were addressing the cheating and hacking issue in the game.

"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," they said in a blog post.

And that's not all — InnerSloth said the latest updates contain the following:

• Added Anonymous Voting option (all votes appear as grey)
• Added Task Bar Modes
• Always mode works like normal
• Meeting mode only updates the bar during meetings
• Invisible mode removes the task bar entirely
• MIRA: Comms sabotage clears the security logs

• Added symbols to fix wires task
• Added cosmetics to meeting screen
• Various bug fixes

They also shared the "big plans" they have for the wildly popular game.

InnerSloth said they were "hard at work" on creating a new map that's Henry Stickmin-themed.

"This map is currently looking bigger than Polus! The map will contain plenty of new tasks and will be available for free to all players!" they wrote.

They also said they were hoping to introduce accounts into the game by December.

"This will allow players to report accounts that are toxic and/or hacking. They may be a bit barebones at first but things like friendslists will also come at a later date after launch," they said.

There are also plans to have more translations and colorblind support.

"Among Us" is an online multiplayer game released in 2018, and recently rose to popularity worldwide. —JCB, GMA News
