Don’t be suspicious, don’t be suspicious
A virtual reality version of a very popular impostor game hits headsets soon.Among Us VRarrives on November 10 for Steam and Meta Quest.
This version ofAmong Usis a collaboration between Schell Games, Innersloth, and Robot Teddy. The new version will run for $9.99, and you can find iton the Steam store hereor over at theQuest storefront.
As you can tellfrom the trailers we’ve seen thus far, this is essentially first-person VRAmong Us. Players take on the role of different crewmates, all trying to complete their tasks on the ship. Meanwhile, one or some of them are impostors, and their goal is take out the crew while not getting caught.
A brand-new perspective
Among Us VRwill support four to ten players in a match. VR players can only play with other VR players, though. And it looks like the level included so far is called Skeld II, a 3D made-for-virtual-reality version of the Skeld from classicAmong Us.
The old mini-games will return, as will some new ones just for VR. And of course, there’s the difference in perspective. While 2DAmong Ustakes an overhead view,Among Us VRgoes fully first-person. Seeing someone vent in VR will probably be terrifying.
Alongside the news ofAmong Us VR‘s release date, today’s Meta Connect showcase also held a few more big reveals. Meta haspicked up several gaming studios, includingIron Man VRdeveloper Camouflaj, Twisted Pixel, and Armature Studio, the team behindResident Evil 4‘s Meta Quest adaptation.
Meta also unveiled its new virtual reality headset, theMeta Quest Pro. It’s a high-end piece of hardware that comes with a hefty price tag.Among Us VR, meanwhile, can run on the Meta Quest 2 or on other headsets via Steam.
