What’s coming in Among Us’ November 2021 update?

1) Brand new player roles

Innersloth has been listening to lots of community feedback over the last couple of months, and new player roles were something that fans have been wanting for quite some time now.

In October, the Among Us developers released a blog titled “Role Peek: The Shapeshifter”, which teased a new role for the game. The Shapeshifter role will be making its way to the November update, and it will allow the Imposter to morph into any other Crewmate, allowing for more gameplay options.

3) New cosmetics: Cosmicubes

Comiscubes will be added to the November update. These are specialized cosmetic cubes that have more details than other typical cosmetics in Among Us.

Players will be able to get their hands on Comiscubes by investing Beans and Stars.

• Beans: These can be acquired by normally playing online and can be used to get some Cosmicubes.
• Stars: Unlike Beans, Stars are a premium currency that can only be purchased with money. They can be used to acquire special items as well as Cosmicubes.
• Pods: These too are acquired by playing the game and if users have an active Cosmicube. These cubes and their contents are tied to particular pods.
• XP: Experience Points will only be awarded through playtime and can only be used to level up a character. Reaching a newer level will provide multipliers for both Beans and Pods.

Account linking is another feature that the Among Us community has been looking for in the title for a very long time.

With the November update, the game will finally allow players to link their accounts across different platforms. Hence, in-game cosmetics purchased in one account will now be available throughout all the other devices.

However, Nintendo players will only be able to use purchased Stars on the Switch platform. Still, Innersloth has promised that Pods and Beans purchased on the Switch account will eventually be accessible across all other platforms.

5) Achievements will not be transferable

While the Among Us November update will look to update stats affecting in-game achievements across all the platforms, Innsersloth has stated that the achievement will not be transferable across devices.

Hence, players frequently switching platforms will need to repeat the same actions to unlock the achievements on another device.
