It’s time for a check-up, beans! 🩺 Our second Limited Time Infection Event has come to an end as of May 7, 2024 — so naturally, we thought it’d be a key time for a quick check-up!
Alongside the limited time Infection Mode introduced with this Limited Time Event, we also sprinkled a new map into the mix: the Mess Hall.
We’re proud to say that the Mess Hall was a burning success 🔥 and was easily the most popular map throughout the duration of the Infection Event. In fact, Infection Mode alone was played almost three times more times than matches on the Skeld II! Wild! 🤯
🎉 And as an added bonus, we’re keeping the Mess Hall around — but only for a bit longer. So be sure to cook up some Crewmate chaos and don’t burn your chicky nuggies before it goes away for good. 🐥
In the epic battle of Zomburrito versus Chefs, we’re seeing some interesting data from our beans… 🧮
On one hand, the 🌯 Zomburrito cosmetic was worn almost 2.5 times more often than the 🧑🍳 My Name Chef toque (both hats were included in the Limited Time Hats: Mess Hall DLC pack), clearly showcasing the favorable preference for that flavor profile. 🧂 Meanwhile, on our official Among Us VR Discord server, we asked our beans to choose between the Chef or Zomburrito. Chefs triumphed over the Zomburritos by doubling their numbers! So… what’s going on here, beans?!
We’re glad to see that the fun and excitement of our Infection Event spread like the Zomburritos and your comments and feedback continue to fill the plates of our hearts. 💗 But for now, we clean up the mess made by these deliciously deadly Zomburritos and prepare for our next event… coming joon — sorry, sune! Wait… that was dum of me.
Limited Time Event #3: Coming Soon! 😅
Stay suspicious!
Helloooooo Crewmates,
Our roadmap for 2024 is here! Yes… I know… half the year has almost gone by. I will accept my punishment of ejection on their behalf (but I’ll still cry about it).
Are you wondering why it took so long to share? It’s a good question. Our team was redefining our process for updates and how we organize them, finding out what matters most *looks at that player survey from a couple months ago*, and taking a well deserved nap, etc..
Roadmap 2024 – Our Plans
New Roles
Since we introduced the Engineer, Scientist, Guardian Angel, and Shapeshifter back in 2021, new roles has been one of the highest requested additions to the game – and for good reason! Roles introduced a new way to betray and bewilder Crewmates, and more ways to gather evidence against the Impostors.
Soon we’ll introduce more brand new roles each with their own little quirk that make for some very interesting lobbies. I can’t guarantee they’ll help you avoid an untimely ejection but who knows… it’s all about how you play!
Better Lobby Filtering
We’re improving how you find lobbies through a more refined set of search settings.
Make the Lobby Settings Pretty
Our looooooooong list of settings is getting a facelift. Say hello to snappy menus so you can easily see all the settings you can change as a host, and have a quick view of the important ones as you join lobbies.
Cosmetics and Collabs
Our true calling – Bean fashion. We’re cooking up more ways for you to slay while you slay. 💅
Y’all know how we get down with the cute, goofy, and chaotic collabs with other studios. We’re rolling the dice and hoping to continue blowing your minds this year. No one is safe. (sorry Red)
Quality of Life
Along with the lobby settings and filtering mentioned above, we’re sprucing up other items that will make your ears (do Crewmates even have ears?) perk up. We’re cooking up other changes too – music for the lobbies (a Puffballs United original of course), Crewmate chatter popping at the top of the screen, and more.
More +
This is where I’m allowed to talk about [REDACTED]. Can’t say more than that ’cause we like surprising you!
Wooooooo, that’s a lot of stuff! The team is hard at work checking notes and prepping their tasks to make these plans a reality, so don’t expect all of these to be completed in the order shown above.
We’re excited and can’t wait to get these changes into your lovely, non-Impostor-knife-wielding hands.
Off to decipher my part of the roadmap,
Dors
Count the hours; seven days remain, beans. This is the official last call to fill your proverbial plate! 🍽️ The Limited Time Event — Infection Event will be closing up shop on May 7, 2024.
But, surely you didn’t think we’d leave it at that? Of course not! We have some additional goodies to offer before your final helping.
Let us officially congratulate our official Discord server for absolutely devouring the goal of our Mess Hall Mania event! 🎉
Our Crewmate community was tasked with making the Mess Hall map the most played location across all in-game matches during the week of April 22 through April 28… and wow did they ever. Not only was the Mess Hall map used for almost 70% of all lobbies… but Infection Mode made up over half of the games played on every single day of the challenge!
But now, what you’ve really been waiting for — discounts!
Clearly the love for Mess Hall has been infectious… and we want to keep spreading the infection! 🤒 From now until the end of our Limited Time Event, using the promo code ZOMBURRITO-8686E7 will add an additional 25% off of Among Us VR on the Meta Quest store! 🌯
Share the code with your friends who haven’t hopped into the kitchen chaos.💸 Save them some dough, or they can use the savings to snag the Limited Time Hats: Mess Hall pack before it expires while still spending less… the possibilities are endless!
Now, I need to get back to the deep fryer and check on my chicky nuggies…
Stay suspicious!
Let’s get ready to Mess Hallllllllllllllll!
As part of our Limited Time Event shenanigans, we’re excited to announce our Discord Community Event, Mess Hall Mania.
Starting April 22 through April 28, we’ll be tracking how the Infection spreads and watching the usage of all three maps in Among Us VR. Can our Crewmate Community cook together to keep Mess Hall at number one for the week?
Remember: Mess Hall is the default map for Infection Mode, but also available for regular matches! And both cases are completely valid… so… the odds are stacked in your favor!
Be sure to join the event for your chance to win exciting Discord-exclusive prizes — including the chance to claim the Limited Time Hats: Mess Hall pack on the platform of your choice for free!
Stay suspicious, beans!
Welcome back, beans! We hope you’ve been enjoying our Limited Time Infection Event over the past weekend.
All the Zomburrito vs. Chef chaos has really worked up our appetite… for feedback.
That’s right! We want to hear from YOU about your experience so far with our Limited Time Events. So, we’ve put together this short survey here!
Food for thought — Once you spill the tea, we’ll gather all the dish which will help us cook up our future events to your tastes. Just saying!
Let your voice be heard!
Say suspicious.
