Among Us VR: Trailer, Platforms, Release Window, More
Among Us is one of the most popular games in recent times. Now Innersloth has announced the long-discussed VR mode to make killing your friends more immersive than ever.
Among Us was one of the most unexpected breakthrough successes of the last decade, taking the gaming world by storm and revolutionizing multiplayer gaming. The sessions of cheating and killing your friends have become a weekly staple, especially during the pandemic.
After the game reached popularity in 2020, Among Us even inspired a number of similar games and modes.
But throughout its success, fans have been calling for the game to come to VR. Fortunately, during The Game Awards 2021 their wishes were heard.

В your blog Developer Innersloth has revealed that Among Us VR will feature Skeld, the original map that helped propel the game to popularity. To make full use of the VR hardware, the ship will be realized in 3D.
The structure will follow the same format that fans know and love. Only this time, emergency meetings will be held in person rather than behind the comfort of a chat screen.
Quests will be familiar to longtime players, but with an added level of interactivity thanks to a new perspective. And, of course, the betrayals will be even more personal when you look at your victim point-blank before eliminating them.
The company is developing a new version Shell Games, best known for I Expect You To Die. In a press release, CEO Jesse Schell said, "There's a lot to love about Among Us, and this partnership represents the perfect combination of the original game's runaway success and the upward trajectory of the VR ecosystem."
If you used to think "Among Us" was unnerving, imagine it in first person.
