Among Us dev wishes they could have worked with Epic on Fortnite’s ‘Impostors’ mode

Epic Games recently kicked off a new Fortnite mode called Impostors in which ten players gather in a secret facility called “The Bridge” and variously attempt to complete tasks, commit sabotage, and quietly kill one another off, all while attempting to determine which two among them are the dastardly, titular “impostors.” It is, as you may have gleaned from the description, very much like the mega-hit social deduction game Among Us.

The point didn’t go unnoticed by Among Us community director Victoria Tran, who said on Twitter that “it would’ve been really, really cool to collab” with Epic Games on something. Among Us isn’t an especially unique design—the original concept goes all the way back to the mid-1980s, and other recent videogames including Eville, Unfortunate Spacemen, and Werewolves Within have all provided different takes on it—but Epic’s version, including the name of the mode, leans heavily into Among Us specifically.
