In Japan, InnerSloth’s video game will be honored with a one-shot that should take the basics of the successful multiplayer title.
Launched in 2018, it was finally necessary to wait for an unfortunate event forAmong Us be entitled to recognition and become a phenomenon. InnerSloth’s online multiplayer party game indeed experienced a media tidal wave during the first lockdown. Popularized by many streamers, starting with Sodapoppin on Twitch, the title was a huge success in 2020: 1.5 million simultaneous players were identified at this time.
An honor normally reserved for Japanese productions
Since then, success has never been empty. And the video game is regarding to experience another significant milestone: a manga version of the indie hit InnerSloth will be published on February 4 in the next issue of the Japanese magazine Bessatsu CoroCoro Comic. For the uninitiated, this is a pre-publication of monthly manga intended for children, which mainly offers adaptations of many licenses from the Japanese landscape. Before Among Us, another non-Japanese work had been entitled to such an honor: Fortnite (which will soon lose a key feature). For the moment, no details are known on the plot of this future manga, but we can already imagine that it will bring a little narration to a game that contains very little of it. One thing is certain, there should be a question of imposture in this adaptation.
A success that does not falter
This announcement confirms InnerSloth’s desire to expand the universe of its beloved independent title. After a release on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and Xbox One, the American studio took advantage of the 2021 Game Awards to reveal to the general public Among Us VR. If the title is still stingy in information, there is no doubt that this version should focus fully on the immersive side, with possible new features. On the performance side, the studio ended the year 2021 on a high note sinceAmong Us was the best download of the last month on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. The game finished ahead Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales (undoubtedly following the theatrical release of No Way Home) and Call of Duty: Vanguard, last installment of the Activision license.
