Innersloth announced at The Triple-i Initiative October 2026 showcase that Among Us Story: On Guard will be released on February 17, 2027. The single-player detective adventure is set in the Among Us universe but is independent of the multiplayer social deduction game and can be played on its own. Players take the role of an Operator in MIRA Research and Development's new Crewmate training program, operating inside a simulation as a security officer called a Guard. A murder occurs during the program, and the Guard becomes the suspect, so the player must prove their innocence and identify the Impostor. The game will support Japanese and launch on PC via Steam, mobile, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2. The story branches into three endings, and players gather clues by interacting with crewmates including the Cook, Scientist, Doctor, and Captain.
Development and publishing are handled by Innersloth, the studio behind the main Among Us game. Among Us Story: On Guard was announced during The Triple-i Initiative October 2026, a stream that ran from 1:00 AM on October 9, 2026. The game is set inside a simulator used for MIRA Research and Development's new Crewmate training program, where the protagonist operates a security officer called a Guard. A murder interrupts the training, and the Guard becomes the suspect.
Interactions with crewmates drive the investigation. The cast includes a kind-hearted Cook who is a few days from retirement, a Scientist who talks at length about plants and science, a Doctor who streams even during work, and a Captain who struggles with face-to-face confrontation but is good at compassionate dialogue. Completing tasks and advancing missions also serve as ways to get closer to the truth. The story branches into three types of endings, and there may be more Impostors than expected.
