Fortnite drops Among Us collaboration with new items

Popular battle royale game Fortnite is launching a collaboration with Among Us that offers several new items.

The partnership includes an ‘Among Us Crewmate Back Bling’ with ten different colours to choose from that react to your gameplay, followed by a ‘Distraction Dance Emote’ from Innersloth’s The Henry Stickmin Collection that distracts anyone around you that may be the imposter.

Items will be available for free in the Epic Games Store with the purchase of Among Us’  in-game currency from June 9th, 2022, to June 9th, 2023.

There’s no confirmed date yet regarding when the items will be available in the Fortnite store.

Epic Games released an ‘Imposter mode’ for Fortnite back in August 2021 but later confirmed that the game mode was inspired by Among Us.

Among Us is available on Android, iOS, Steam, itch.io, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, PlayStation, Epic Games, and Windows.

Among Us to release on PlayStation, Xbox and Xbox Game Pass on December 14

Developer Innersloth has confirmed that its massively popular multiplayer game Among Us is coming to PlayStation and Xbox consoles on December 14th.

Specifically, the game will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Xbox Game Pass for Console. Cross-play will also be supported between all of these platforms. It’s also worth noting that the PlayStation version of the game will have exclusive Ratchet & Clank-themed content.

The social deduction party game originally launched on mobile and PC in 2018 but saw a significant surge in players in 2020 as streamers picked up the game amid the COVID-19 pandemic. A Nintendo Switch version launched last December.

A few physical collector’s editions have also been revealed — more information on those, including pre-order links, can be found here.

Fortnite acknowledges Innersloth as inspiration behind Among Us game mode

Nearly two months after release, Epic Games has finally decided to credit Innersloth’s Among Us as the inspiration behind Fortnite’s ‘Impostors Mode.’

The Fortnite ‘Imposters Mode’ was released in August and was developed in traditional Fortnite settings and 3D environments, but substantially drawing from Among Us’ gameplay and mechanics.

At the time, Epic Games did not acknowledge Among Us or Innersloth as the inspiration behind the game mode, prompting members of Innersloth’s crew to call out Fortnite about having their work duplicated without acknowledgment or credit.

But today’s Twitter thread conversation between @FortniteGame and @AmongUsGame makes it clear that there is no bad blood between the two companies, and hints that they might collaborate “on something fun” in the near future.
