Among Us: Play with the new airship map today (and new hats!)

Among us Fans have reason to celebrate today: The hugely popular multiplayer mobile game is getting a new free map to play on, called Airship. You’ll also find a few new free hats, including a heart, rubber glove, angry eyebrows, and chocolate ice cream (which certainly doesn’t look like the poop emoji).

The airship map includes over a dozen rooms, new tasks, ladders, and the ability to choose which room you start in. She will be available to play today at 11 a.m. PT / 2 p.m. ET. You can also purchase a new Airship Skin Pack that includes three new skins (one of which has a custom kill animation) and 13 additional new hats. Watch the trailer for the new map here:

In the game, you play as a crew member who tries to keep your ship together. But one crew member has been replaced by a parasitic shape-changing alien who wants to wipe out the rest of the crew before the ship returns home. The problem is, the impostor looks like everyone else and will sabotage the ship, sneak through the vents, trick other players, and try to frame the others, all in an effort to go undetected and kill the rest of the crew. The game was released in 2018, but downloads have skyrocketed in 2020 thanks in part to the popular Twitch streamers who picked it up. On Twitch, Among Us has 9.3 million subscribers – in comparison, Fortnite has 4.2 million.

Among Us is free to play on iOS and Android devices (you can download it from the App Store or Google Play Store). Or, it costs $ 5 to play on a PC (you can download it on Steam or itch.io). The game currently includes a free level, a spaceship called The Skeld, which most players are probably familiar with, and two paid levels, a sky headquarters and a planetary base.
