Among Us 2 is cancelled, but more content is coming to Among Us 1

Among Us has been a hit over the past month and with all the hype surrounding the title, Developer Innersloth announced that they have cancelled its plans for a Among Us 2. They want to continue to add new features and content to the first one before going onto a sequel.

The team had warned that bringing new features and other content to Among Us is likely to be a slower process than making a sequel.

A big reason why they were considering a second version of the game was because the codebase for Among Us 1 was outdated.

“The main reason we [were] shooting for a sequel is because the codebase of Among Us 1 is so outdated and not built to support adding so much new content”

“All of the content we had planned for Among Us 2 will instead go into Among Us 1. This is probably the more difficult choice because it means going deep into the core code of the game and reworking several parts of it. We have lots of things planned and we’re excited to bring new content to everyone as you continue to enjoy playing.”

The team is currently working on fixing its server issues but it intends to introduce a new stage, a Friends and account system and colorblind support in the not so distant future.
