Innersloth announced a new single-player narrative adventure game set in the Among Us universe, titled Among Us Story: On Guard, during the Summer Game Fest 2026 livestream on June 6. The game shifts from the franchise's signature multiplayer social deduction format to a solo experience where players take on the role of a crew member named Guard. The objective is to investigate a murder aboard a spaceship, solve puzzles, and identify the Impostor to prove the protagonist's innocence. The announcement trailer showed comedic scenes and deduction gameplay. The Steam store page went live immediately after the reveal, and Japanese language support is planned. A release date has not yet been announced. Separately, Innersloth also confirmed that an Among Us animated series is in development, to be distributed by Paramount+.
Among Us Story: On Guard was one of several announcements made during the Summer Game Fest 2026 showcase. The game is described as a standalone story title rather than an expansion or DLC for the original Among Us. The protagonist, named Guard, must solve a murder case on a spaceship, a setting familiar to fans of the franchise. The trailer depicted the character navigating environments, interacting with objects, and expelling suspected Impostors. Sources agree that the game is single-player only, a notable departure from the multiplayer-focused original. The Steam page is now live, and the game is confirmed for PC. Innersloth also used the event to show new footage of the previously announced Among Us animated series, which will stream on Paramount+. No release window has been given for either project.
