'Among Us' Free On Epic Games Store, Mystery Game Planned For Next Week

by Rainier on May 27, 2021 @ 9:21 a.m. PDT

For the next week, the Epic Games Store is offering one titles for free: Among Us.

Among Us is an online and local party game of teamwork and betrayal for 4-10 players...in space!

Play with 4-10 player online or via local WiFi as you attempt to prepare your spaceship for departure, but beware as one or more random players among the Crew are Impostors bent on killing everyone!

Among Us is about two different seemingly conflicting ideas – that you need to work together with your crew, but also that you can’t trust anyone but yourself.

Who knew sneaking around, accusing your friends of murder, and being wrong could be so fun?

Originally created as a party game, we recommend playing with friends at a LAN party or online using voice chat.

Once Among Us, the current free game on the Epic Games Store, has run its course, Epic Games will unveil its next "mystery game" on May 27th
