DO YOU KNOW WHAT TODAY IS CREWMATES?!
It’s time to celebrate! Today, Among Us is the big age of 8 years old. That means our spacebeans are allowed to…. well, still betray you and take out the trash. Keep reading to see the fun and exciting ways we’re going to celebrate the big day.
Among Us Story: On Guard Demo
Are you ready for new adventure in the Among Us universe? No? WELL TOO BAD! (Who says no to free presents anyway?) As a birthday treat, we’ve released the demo for our BRAND NEW GAME, Among Us Story: On Guard!
In this narrative adventure, you’ll be joining MIRA R&D as the highly trained Guard. It will be up to you shed light on secrets aboard the ship, and learn about your fellow Crewmates who are absolutely not Impostors. And even if one of them did commit a murder, you’re still on the hook for your own tasks. Don’t worry, it’s all in the employee handbook…
Try out the demo today before it’s gone on June 22nd!
Lucky Number 8
This year, in honor of putting 8 candles on the pizza-cake, we’re giving you special gift! Log in to Among Us between now and July 15th, 06:59 UTC to receive the Lucky Number 8 Hat. This new piece of headwear is inspired by hat of the Guard from our upcoming game, Among Us Story: On Guard.
Bean Stream
Last year we held an awesome stream where we chilled with you, Victoria, and our pizza-cake making Impostor! Well, this year we have another stream featuring news, guests, and of course a lil dash of chaos. And the cool news is that you can watch it right now!
We can’t thank you enough for being a part of our amazing crew. Seeing our space beans grow up and seeing all the love you have for them always warms our hearts. We wouldn’t be here without you. <3
Cosmicubes Galore
With all of this excitement going on you may have missed that we dropped 2 new Cosmicubes. First up is our Showbiz Cosmicube themed after the Among Us Animated Show. It’s available right now for 4,000 Beans.
Our second Cosmicube is the space themed Cosmic Cosmicube! This one is available for 70 Stars. Both of them are here as permanent addition to the cosmetic lineup. You can find all the details on those here.
As always, if you have any trouble or spot a bug, remember to send us a message at our helpdesk.
It wouldn’t feel quite right to end the celebrating here. You know what would spice it up? Really fun community art! Let’s get our visor’s on some of your creations below.
Our first piece is from Kim in our official Discord! This might be a spoiler for the show so avert your eyes (but come back and feast on this once you’ve seen the show).
Our next piece I feel that I have an obligation to post as one of many Blue and Lime ships. Is it Blime? Is it Lume? I’m partial to sublime. This piece is by Pinkie over on Twitter.
And why have one ship when you could have more? Who doesn’t love Black and Cyan?! Or the dynamic cooking duo of Yellow and Brown? CreativeApple on twitter cooked up a fun piece.
We really love the pieces y’all come up with. BIG respect to the time and effort you put into your creations. You make this community Crewmate (and the whole team) proud!
Going to try on my new hat,
Dors
A NEW GAME COMING?!
It’s only been 6 days, 6 hours, and 37 minutes since the reveal, but you weren’t counting, right? It’s time to try out our new game Among Us Story: On Guard yourself!
Stop your current task and play the demo on Steam now before it’s gone June 22nd.
Among Us Story: On Guard is an all-new narrative adventure set in the Among Us universe. As the newest member of MIRA R&D, you’ll step into the simulator to take part in our Crewmate training program.

At LOOOOOOOOOONG last, we can finally say the words so many of you have waited to hear:
THE AMONG US ANIMATED SHOW IS OUT NOW!
The entire show is available on Paramount+, with the first episode free now on their YouTube page.
We’ve been so amazed by the work of CBS, Owen Dennis, and Titmouse. We couldn’t have gotten here without our producers Carl Neisser, and of course, Fortebass and Puffballs. We hope you love the show as much as we do!
Watch the first episode NOW on YouTube!
Keep reading to get the details on the new Showbiz Cosmicube!

Our New Game
Guess who’s working on a brand new game! WE ARE! Innersloth is happy to present our new narrative adventure, Among Us Story: On Guard.
As a part of MIRA R&D you’ll be stepping into our new Crewmate training program as The Guard. In this story game, there are tasks that need doing, secrets that need revealing, and new Crewmates to learn about. There’s probably no murder to worry about. That would be against company policy. Don’t worry, we’ll cover the rest once you’re on the job.
You’ll be able to get hands on with the game with a demo releasing on Among Us’s 8th birthday, June 15th 2026!

For now, wishlist the game on Steam while you wait for the demo.

New game, who dis?
Ready to experience Among Us in a whole new way? Welcome to Among Us Story: On Guard!
For ages, you’ve asked us for more. More stories about the Crewmates! More lore! More ways to play! More ways to live life in this universe, but single player. We wanted to see what that would be like too.
So good news: You can wishlist the game now.
Even better news: You can play the demo on June 15 as part of our Among Us birthday celebration! It’s our big present to you. 🎁
And if you like the sound of that, we have just the thing to keep you grooving when the demo drops: pre-save the original soundtrack starting on the 15th too.
Interested in hearing more about the game? Okay!
Welcome to MIRA Research & Development! Take a step into our simulator to start the new Crewmate training program. Your first task? Become Guard! You’re in charge of shipwide security and ensuring the crew gets to their destination safely. Everything will be fine, provided an Impostor doesn’t start murdering Crewmates! But just hypothetically, if that does happen? You’ll need to prove your innocence and find the Impostor before it can get to the rest of the crew… and you. We advise solving murders The MIRA Way!
- M – eet the Among Us universe in a whole new way. Step into the world of the Guard, tasked with maintaining security on the ship. You’re the first and last line of defense against a universe that wants to kill the crew.
- I – dentify the Impostor. You’ve trained for this. Murders? False accusations? This might be difficult for someone who hasn’t already been honed into a tool of vengeance and detection by years of Emergency Meetings. Admin didn’t raise, emotionally neglect, and eventually abandon a quitter.
- R – eap the rewards of your investigation. Who is an Impostor (there might be more than you think) and which Crewmates can you trust? Inside the simulation, explore three unique endings that are paramount to improving safety for the good of all Crewmates. Probably.
- A – nd complete tasks. As per the Crewmate Handbook you definitely agreed to, murder and murder accusations do not absolve you of your workplace duties. Complete tasks to progress through your mission and discover clues to build your case against the Impostor.
And to get ahead of some frequently asked questions…
- What platforms will this be available on?
Right now our plans are for PC and the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2! It’s likely we’ll have more in the future, but don’t worry about it for now. You have much bigger, more murder-y things to worry about first. - How much will this cost?
Your life. And some money. But we haven’t nailed down a price yet. - Who is the Impostor?
There are no Impostors. - Will this be a super long game?
No! While there will be different endings and you may want to replay it, we also want to respect your time. As a single player narrative game it’ll be a chaotic, silly, and beansized experience for your enjoyment.
Meet a colorful cast of Crewmates and find out which one of them puts the “I” in “Impostor”. Have fun getting to know everyone! (Try to ignore that any of them might be plotting your death.)
- Operator: That’s you! Help MIRA with their new Crewmate training program as you navigate life as Guard.
- Management: Your lovable, caring, committed, always-approachable boss who might possibly have written this description.
- Guard: A hard-boiled private eye you control as part of the simulation. Cynical and suspicious – exactly who you need in charge of shipwide security.
- Cook: Sweet, innocent, kind, and just a few days from retirement. Definitely not about to get murdered by an Impostor…
- Scientist: Always going on about plants and science and stuff. Just be careful they don’t talk you… to death!
- Engineer: Wrote a long bullet-pointed summary of their skills and responsibilities , but we didn’t read it.
- Doctor: When not working, they’re a streamer. (Sometimes even when they are working, they’re a streamer.)
- Captain: Not really into confrontation, but they are into care-frontation! <3
Aaand that’s it! If you want to keep up-to-date on our latest announcements, you can find more on our official Discord or any of these Among Us Story accounts:
I finally am free from the chains of secrecy. I’m so glad I could tell you what we’ve been working on after sooo long. HOPE YOU ENJOY! DON’T FORGET TO WISHLIST AND TRY OUT THE DEMOOOO ON JUNE 15 OK!!!!
Not an Impostor,
Victoria
EMERGENCY MEEEEEEETING!!! 🗣️📢
The Among Us animated show is OUT NOW on Paramount+, and the first episode is FREE on YouTube. I’m so nervous-excited I’m going to smash my visor against the airlock.
This is a show about teamwork and betrayal. Crewmates of a ship transporting Ore+ across the galaxy must root out an Impostor in their midst before they fall victim to its villainous designs.
We’re thrilled to have produced this in partnership with CBS Studios, with Owen Dennis (Infinity Train) as showrunner and Titmouse as the animation studio. Plus, the voices of Yvette Nicole Brown, Kimiko Glenn, Liv Hewson, Ashley Johnson, Wayne Knight, Phil LaMarr, Randall Park, Dan Stevens, Debra Wilson, Elijah Wood, and Patton Oswalt! Thank you. You’re all Crewmates to us. We promise never to vote you out in an Emergency Meeting. ❤️
A lot of love and hardwork was put into this, and it’s honestly insane to us that Among Us has made it to this point. An animated show!!! Who would’ve guessed??? It’s so rare to see a game, let alone an indie game, get made into something like this. We’re eternally grateful for your support – we only could do it because you played Among Us. Thank you thank you thank you thank you.
Please give the show a watch and let us know what you think! We hope you love it.
If you want to talk about it, hop onto our official Discord or poke me on our official social media channels:
Okay I’m gonna go watch episode 1 on YouTube on repeat so we get 1 billion views or something.
BYE,
Victoria
