Fortnite meets Among Us? New Impostors mode rolling out
Fortnite's latest mode is taking a page from the popular social game Among Us. Epic Games announced Fortnite Impostors, out now, which plays just like Among Us, where a group of players must thwart enemies posing as teammates. Each team of 10 players will need to complete a series of assignments, while players working as Impostors will sabotage all their work. And just like Among Us, Impostors Modes features the option to call all players together to vote for who might be an Impostor. Although the mode plays very similarly to Among Us, it's not a direct collaboration with its creators at Innersloth.
Fall Guys: Fortnite meets It's a Knockout in UK video game hit
Fat little jelly beans playing a neon-coloured version of the cult classic gameshow Takeshi's Castle might not sound like the British answer to the craze that is Fortnite, but tens of millions of people have downloaded the London-made hit Fall Guys in less than a month since its release. "When you're designing games you want to give people an experience they've never felt before," says its lead designer, Joe Walsh. "And for us, it was a middle-aged slightly unwieldy Japanese businessman, on the sideline of a giant obstacle course that he has absolutely no right attempting." The resulting game is a joy. Like its predecessor, it sees a huge number of players competing in ever-smaller numbers to be the last one standing; similar too is its explosion in popularity, becoming the most downloaded game on Sony's PlayStation Plus (PS) online service ever, beating Fortnite on Twitch, and gathering celebrity fans too: Manchester City's Sergio Agüero scoring a goal in one of Fall Guys' minigames provided an early boost, as did F1 driver Lando Norris.
