The Among Us animated show brings the thrilling game to your screen
The hit mobile game Among Us is set to receive its own animated TV show, generating significant buzz among fans. This announcement is just one example of the growing trend of video game adaptations, with projects like Mass Effect, God of War, Horizon, and Dead Cells also in the works.
According to a tweet from Among Us developer Innersloth, the show will feature a team of crewmates infiltrated by a shape-shifting alien impostor. As you might expect, this leads to chaos and suspense. The developer expressed their excitement about the news, and fans are eagerly anticipating the show's release.
The official logline for the show describes it as a thrilling journey where a team of crewmates must uncover the impostor's identity and prevent their murderous actions. In other words, it's the same intense experience as playing Among Us, but now in animated form.
While the voice actors for the show have not been announced, CBS Studios' Owen Dennis will serve as the creator and executive producer, and the animation will be handled by Titmouse, known for their work on shows like Big Mouth and Star Trek: Lower Decks.
As it is still early in the development process, there is not much more information available at this time. However, based on the premise of the game and the description of the show as targeting a team of crewmates, it is likely to be aimed at an adult audience.
The Among Us TV show joins a growing list of video games receiving adaptations, following the success of projects like Sonic the Hedgehog and Detective Pikachu. Other shows based on games like Baldur's Gate and Project Eternity are also in the works.
The recent success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie and the critical acclaim surrounding HBO's The Last Of Us have fueled the rush among studios to secure rights for potential game adaptations. The Among Us animated show is another exciting addition to this trend, and its release date and unique qualities will be crucial to its success.
