The Among Us franchise has expanded beyond its original multiplayer game with a single-player narrative spin-off, an anime series, and a community management book, while the original game remains active in Steam promotions.
Innersloth has been broadening the Among Us brand across multiple media. The most significant new entry is Among Us Story: On Guard, a single-player narrative adventure announced at Summer Game Fest 2026. The game shifts from the franchise's signature multiplayer social deduction to a solo experience where players investigate a murder aboard a spaceship. A demo was released on Steam on June 16, 2026, and runs until June 22. The Steam store page went live immediately after the reveal, and Japanese language support is planned.
An anime adaptation of Among Us is currently streaming on Paramount+. Its soundtrack was released on June 27, 2026, across major streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. Episode 1 is available for free on Paramount+'s YouTube channel. Innersloth also confirmed that an animated series is in development for Paramount+, though no further details have been announced.
Outside of games and animation, the franchise's community management expertise is being codified into a book. Victoria Tran's Turning Players into Fans: A Textbook for Game Community Management is set for a Japanese release in early July 2026, published by Born Digital. The 336-page guide covers community management theory and practical strategies, with real examples from Among Us. Meanwhile, the original game continues to be featured in Steam events, such as the Social Deduction Fest running until July 17, 2026, which includes Among Us among other werewolf-style titles.
