A surprise surge in popolarity
The Among Us 3D demo has quickly become a sensation on Steam, ranking as the platform’s second-most-played demo during the Steam Next Fest, trailing only the highly anticipated MechaBreak. Developer Innersloth’s shift to a 3D, first-person format appears to resonate with fans, even those without VR headsets. The demo’s success hints at a potential revival for the franchise, proving that the core social deduction gameplay transcends its original 2D style.
How Among Us 3D works
Unlike the original 2D game, Among Us 3D immerses players in a fully three-dimensional spaceship. Teams of 4-10 players tackle tasks or sabotage efforts, depending on their role as Crewmate or Impostor. The first-person perspective heightens tension, forcing players to rely on spatial awareness and proximity chat. While compatible with Among Us VR, the 3D version caters to non-VR users, offering a fresh yet familiar experience.
New features and upgrades
The 3D remake introduces revamped minigames tailored for first-person controls, alongside native proximity chat for strategic (or deceptive) conversations. Customizable characters and dynamic environments add depth, while streamlined mechanics ensure the game stays true to its chaotic roots. These updates aim to attract both veterans and newcomers, blending nostalgia with innovation.
The road ahead for Among Us
With its demo’s explosive reception, Among Us 3D could mark a "second wind" for the franchise. The game’s crossover into titles like Vampire Survivors and its VR compatibility suggest Innersloth is expanding its universe. If the full release maintains this momentum, Among Us may reclaim its throne as the ultimate party game proving that even in 3D, betrayal never gets old.
