among us 2 cancelled

Among us is the most hyped game right now. The game offers memorable experiences and surprising moments that lead to an enjoyable experience for the players. As the game became popular after two years of its initial launch, it was not completely stable and hence to work on it, the developers cancelled Among Us 2 and are now focusing on improving Among us itself. A new update is coming soon for all the platforms and here is what you can expect out of it.

Among us is currently the global phenomenon and is a simple and casual game that is enjoyed by many.

Colourblind support

The colourblind community that found it hard to complete the most common “Fix Wiring” task due to its colour differences don’t have to worry anymore. With the new update, the game will introduce unique signs for each colour to make the tasks easier for them.
