Developer InnerSloth has unveiled the 2023 roadmap for Among Us, which includes details on new content, features, and more.
Sharing in a recent blog post, InnerSloth confirmed that the first thing it will be focusing on is adding multiple patches to the multiplayer game’s UI and UX, specifically by updating the in-game store to be better to navigate, making account merging easier, as well as finding a better way of reporting toxic players. Although this is a big priority, the roadmap doesn’t feature a release date for these changes, only that they’re “coming soon.”
Probably the most notable update to come this year is a brand-new map. Details on map 5 are currently still under wraps, but InnerSloth did say that it’ll have new tasks, new cosmetics, and more hidden surprises. Players can expect the map to arrive “later in the year.”
With the recent release of Hide n Seek mode, the developer is looking to add improved matchmaking in order for players to find games fas…
Read moreBloober Team is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, and to mark the occasion, the company has partnered with a Polish singer to create an “official” Layers of Fear song. Bloober Team worked with Natalia Szroeder for a new take on the iconic song “You Are My Sunshine,” which has been covered by hundreds of artists over the years and is one of the most memorable and recognizable pieces of music in modern times. Bloober Team is also releasing new content for Layers of Fear to celebrate its anniversary, and it’s coming soon.
Given that this is Bloober Team and created for the Layers of Fear franchise, the new rendition of “You Are My Sunshine” is dark and haunting, and so is the accompanying music video, which you can see below. Piotr Babieno, Bloober Team’s CEO, directed the music video, and it is inspired by Layers of Fear.

Boyd voices the elf Brahgas, who introduces players to the new in-game card game Tales of Tribute, which arrives through the High Isle expansion.
“He’s a gambler. He’s a talker. He likes people. How he attacks this new card game is how he attacks life: all in. He is just all in on everything,” Boyd says in a behind-the-scenes video. “I think a night in the pub with Brahgas–a couple of beers, a little Tales of Tribute–would

Read moreAnya Taylor-Joy has been cast as Furiosa in the upcoming Mad Max prequel movie, and now director George Miller has spoken about how it all came together, including her audition.
Miller told Empire that he knew about Taylor-Joy before casting her, but he had never seen her in a movie until he saw her in Edgar Wright’s upcoming movie Last Night in Soho. “I remember thinking, ‘Gee, she’s interesting,” Miller said.
Miller and Wright conducted the interview together, and Miller said he recalls saying to Wright, “I’m looking for someone to cast as Furiosa,’ and I barely got the sentence out before you said, ‘Don’t go any further, she’s great, she’s gonna be huge. She’s fantastic to work with.'”
For Taylor-Joy’s audition for Furiosa, Miller asked her to read something to camera, and this was the “mad as hell” speech from 1976’s Network.
“Apart from the brilliance of the writing, it’s a piece that can be done to camera. It doesn’t need an acting partner,” Miller sai…
Read moreConfirming rumors, Activision has officially announced that Call of Duty: Warzone will get a brand-new map later this year, presumably around the time that Call of Duty: Vanguard launches this November. This is not a modest redesign of the existing Verdansk that has been in place since the game launched in March 2020 but instead is an all-new environment.
Raven Software, which is leading development on Warzone, is spearheading development of the new map. This map uses the same technology as the rest of Vanguard, which means it runs on the upgraded version of the IW engine. The benefit here is that the game’s guns and mechanics should feel and operate the same when switching between Vanguard’s other modes and Warzone. This is a key difference between Warzone and Black Ops Cold War, which run on different engines and have different features and functionality.
All battle pass content earned in Black Ops Cold War, Modern Warfare, Vanguard, and Warzone wil…
