Hello!

As we’ve said before, we made our indie game fund Outersloth after the success of Among Us. We’ve been lucky to be successful so far in our endeavours – as of March 2026, we’ve funded 24 games! But another goal we had was to encourage other funds/publishers to adopt terms that were more developer-friendly.

So! We’ll do that the best way we know how – by publishing our entire Outersloth contract (with emails and addresses redacted). If you’re a studio that’s interested in dabbling in funding for games, we hope this helps you get started on what your terms could look like too.

The status quo is often based on what information is publicly available, so we hope throwing our contract into the ring will help shape future conversations. Transparency is key, so hope you enjoy the read!

CLICK HERE.

This contract will live on in the official Outersloth Press Kit and the main page will be updated, so don’t worry about it being buried! I would never do that to our beautiful legalese child.

If you like what we’re doing, make sure you throw the games we’re funding a wishlist and/or purchase! It helps them out a lot!

Cheers,
Victoria and Forest

P.S. I (Victoria) will write a post outlining how our system works on the backend too! Another time!

Crewmates!

Admin just dropped a new task: Take our player feedback survey! (Also available in Français, Deutsch, Español, Português, 한국어, 日本語, 中文 (中国), 中文 (台灣).) It’ll take less time than finishing card swipe!

This is THE BEST way to have your thoughts about Among Us heard by the team. All the data goes into future updates, fixes, and plans! Be sure to fill it out now – the survey closes on March 23, 2026!

What’s the most fun for you? What isn’t fun? Have you been enjoying the latest roles? Who keeps throwing pizza in the vents? Among Us isn’t finished yet. There’s more fun and chaos to create with your help, and every year this survey helps us learn what you want.

Okay, now stop reading and go fill it out… seriously… go now!

Stuck at my download task,

Hi Crewmates!

For the last 4 years, our partner, Schell Games has delighted us all by bringing the Crewmates, Impostors, tasks, and betrayal we love into 3D and VR.

Rest assured, there was no betrayal with this partnership. The plan has always been for Innersloth to take back control of Among Us 3D and VR.

The success we have seen can’t be talked about without mentioning you (yes, you!) Every time you completed a task, caused an ejection, or screamed over proximity chat, you contributed to the game. Thank you for being a part of it!

Before we wave goodbye at the airlock doors, there’s another update coming: The Definitive Edition update. Arriving on March 24th, this update will bring back favorites from past limited time events, like the justice serving Vigilante and vengeance seeking Wraith, as permanent additions to the game. Alongside these returning roles, monthly cosmetic drops have also been set, so your Crewmate still has access to the latest drip for the rest of 2026 and onward!

When the update launches on the 24th, communications and support will transfer over to us here at Innersloth. If you have trouble with Among Us 3D or 3D:VR, you’ll be able to ask for help at our helpdesk. And if you’re looking for fellow 3D Crewmates, you can join our official Discord server to find other 3D and VR players.

It’s been a fun adventure! We can’t say thank you enough to the teams at Schell Games who brought our Crewmates to the 3D realm and gave our players another dimension (get it?) to play in. Be sure to check out some parting words from our friends on their blog.

Off to charge our headsets,

Innersloth

HOLD IT!

That’s what I’d yell the minute I dress up in our newest collaboration cosmetics. We’ve teamed up with Ace Attorney once more to bring the one and only Phoenix Wright into Among Us!

Just like you, we knew Phoenix had to be in the game too after we collabed with Capcom to bring Miles Edgeworth into the game last time. Now you can have a dramatic turnabout in your own lobbies as these Phoenix Wright cosmetics are FREE!

All you have to do is log in to Among Us before March 17th at 18:00 UTC (March 17th at 10am PT and 1pm ET) to receive:

• Phoenix Wright’s Hair
• Phoenix Wright’s Suit

You’ll be committed to the spirit of justice (and hopefully better at lying constructing alibis) with these new threads.

If you want to see Phoenix Wright in action, check out the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy available on Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Windows and Steam!

Finding clues with Gumshoe,

Dors

P.S. Speaking of clues, have you read about what we’re doing this year? No?!? Well, check out our 2026 roadmap to find out!

Hi Crewmates!

If you know us, you know we typically release our roadmap several months into the new year. BUT LOOK AT US NOW. Give you the information at the START of the new year. Thank you, thank you, please hold your applause.

For real though, we wanted to be faster, stronger, and better for the new year, so we will be splitting our roadmap (AKA the development plans) into two posts. One now, another in the later half of the year This allows us to keep you updated while giving flexibility to our timelines!

But enough explanations. Let’s look at what you can expect for the first half of 2026:

Roles

Roles, roles, roles. You ask for them, we’re making them. Currently we have 15 prototypes in the works – not all of them will launch and honestly, it’s likely only 1 or 2 will see the light of day next year. (But… maybe… more…???)

We extensively test new roles! We want to make sure we hit a balance of being fun without overly complicating things, but also giving variety for all the different kinds of players out there. Some like a simple passive mechanic, while some sickos love things getting complicated. (I see you, Detective players).

Whether it’s an Impostor role, Crewmate role, or even Ghost role, Admin is giving these beans a real education to be even more fun to play in 2026. Whatever does come out next year, we hope you enjoy!

New Cosmicubes

You want more items. I want more items. We all want more items!!!

Cosmicubes are always something we have a blast working on, so make sure you let us know what you want to see in the coming year. We already have some ideas you’ve thrown at us, but Admin is always listening to the screams of the crew…

Collabs

We already have our first collaboration cosmetic lined up for next month. Take a guess. You’ll never guess it. Unless you do. In which case I will have to ignore you because I am bound to secrecy until it can be shown.

But we know part of the fun has been seeing what characters we can get into the game, so similarly to the new Cosmicubes, let us know if there’s anything you want to see in the Amogus Universe!

Continual work on the TV Show

IT’S NOT DEAD OKAY, DON’T WORRY. And that’s it! We just wanted you all prepped and primed before the new year. Not a ton, but TRUST the cogs of The Skeld are chugging along. If anything gets added to this roadmap, we’ll be sure to let you know.

And that’s it for Part I of the 2026 roadmap! In the future I’ll be throwing a player feedback survey too so keep an eye out for that. If all goes well, we have something exciting things in the Innersloth universe coming at you this year… (And if it doesn’t go well then it never existed shh.)

BYE!

Victoria
