Innersloth has officially revealed Among Us Story: On Guard, a brand-new story game set in the Among Us universe. It represents the first new Among Us game since Among Us VR in 2022, and the first single-player experience in the series' history.
Among Us is one of the biggest indie success stories of all time. The first game was initially released in 2018 to little fanfare, but it developed a huge fanbase in 2020 after it received a large amount of attention from streamers and content creators online. It was successful enough that developer Innersloth canceled a planned Among Us sequel to focus on the original. A VR version of the game followed in 2022, but there has been very little to suggest that the developer is planning to revisit the idea of a fully-fledged sequel any time soon.

Among Us Story: On Guard Officially Revealed
In an exciting reveal trailer shared during Summer Game Fest, Innersloth announced Among Us Story: On Guard, a new single-player title that sees players take control of a Guard in the Crewmate training program. When an Impostor begins to murder Crewmates, players must prove their own innocence while finding the Impostor before they can kill the entire crew. It's like classic Among Us Impostor vs. Crewmate gameplay, but with a fresh solo twist. Innersloth says that players will encounter "a colorful cast of Crewmates," each with their own defined personalities. Players will complete tasks, just like in the original, which will allow them to build a case against the Impostor.

The graphics of Among Us Story: On Guard are stunning, keeping the 2D charm of the original while looking far more refined. It's cool to see the developer taking risks in branching out with the franchise, with the game being announced on the same day that the Among Us TV adaptation was surprise-released on Paramount+ after three years of silence.
Gamers can wishlist Among Us Story: On Guard on Steam right now, and a demo will be available from June 15 as part of Among Us' birthday celebration. Innersloth says that the game is only planned to release on PC, Nintendo Switch, and Switch 2, but claims that "it's likely we'll have more in the future." No price or release date has been nailed down yet. Interestingly, the developer has already confirmed that Among Us Story: On Guard will feature multiple endings for replayability, describing it as "a chaotic, silly, and beansized experience for your enjoyment."

Although it has been a while since any new Among Us game, that doesn't mean the series has been on a complete hiatus. Last year, Among Us launched a surprise crossover with Stardew Valley, bringing exclusive cosmetics based on the life simulator to the multiplayer deception title. Hopefully, the recent resurgence is a sign of more exciting things to come for Among Us in the near future.
