The announcement tweet is cruising near 100,000 likes as the new account has already surpassed the 200,000 follower mark. Yikes.

Among Us New Map

The new map is inspired by the Henry Stickman series, the previous series of games by Among Us' dev team - Innersloth. 

The real ones will note the new map looks suspiciously like a place in Henry Stickmin... 🎩👀https://t.co/YOG9BbIFIK pic.twitter.com/NFOSbI4iLQ

We can see maybe two to three tasks in the screenshot, possibly distributed between the bottom left and bottom right monitors and the cockpit main chair. Also worth noting, a vent is placed directly in the middle of the capture, certainly not suspicious whatsoever.

The confirmation of this level and inspiration came in late-September when the developers revealed details regarding the future of Among Us 2 and how most features planned for the now-cancelled sequel were going to be slowly implemented in the original, along with upgrades to coding, assets and more.

The original is still going strong though, pulling in millions of players and views on Twitch on the daily. The social-deduction phenomenon exploded this year, after initially releasing in 2018, helped undoubtedly by the pandemic and given amplification through Twitch and YouTube as many of the platform's top streamers got together to accuse each other of being the imposter. The game being free-to-play on mobile didn't hurt either.
