Among Us, the party game that took the world by storm in the middle of the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, continues to become a draw.
The party game, which found its roots in 2018, started out as a relatively unnoticed game, exploding in popularity two years following its initial release, thanks largely to the efforts of the internet.
And now, fans are treated to a fresh update that takes the game's scenario from the confines of high-tech sci-fi vessels to a rather intriguing new locale - The Fungle.
Announced unexpectedly during a recent Nintendo Direct showcase, this latest addition to Among Us is set against the backdrop of a mysterious and deserted island. The term "Fungle" is a playful portmanteau of "fungus" and "jungle," a term that aptly describes the terrain where our beloved crewmates now find themselves marooned.
Unlike the pristine, sterile settings that players are accustomed to, The Fungle is alive and filled with mushrooms and a sense of unpredictability.
The trailer reveal for this new map, aired during the Nintendo Direct, offered viewers a narrative twist: the fan-favorite and now-iconic, armless astronauts crash-landing on this peculiar, fungus-infested island.
