Among Us April's Fools Patch Notes

Among Us devs have also jumped in today’s festivities, throwing out a couple of memes but also providing an update to the game. Given the fact it’s April’s Fools day, every developer wants to joke around and create something interesting for the players.

As always, you can find the patch notes below, as revealed by the dev.

April Fools’ goes necks-gen

We’ve waited a long time for this one, Crewmates.

For April Fools’, we’ve upgraded the game to have necks-gen graphics (our game designer Dave really stuck his neck out for this joke)! As per tradition, we have come up with the most cursed idea we could to celebrate. Say goodbye to horses – they’re not real anyway – and say hello to NECK.

We’re committing to the bit by bringing you a whole week of cursed Long Among Us. (L’mong Us? Hm.)

That’s right – April Fools’ Mode will be available from April 1st – 8th. Don’t worry, though – if it’s too much for you, we built in a handy toggle button so you can turn it off and have normal beans… whatever “normal” is to you.

The Long and Short of It

This year we decided to find out how tall is too tall for a Crewmate. The answer is that there’s no such thing. Remember this is a limited time event, so hop on now to experience life above knee height. (Did you know Crewmates are canonically 3’6″ or 1.09m tall?)

Here’s what you can expect:

Note – Some cosmetics will be unavailable during April Fools’ long mode.

Classic Mode

Crewmates, Ghosts, and Impostors have had a growth spurt and grow to new heights
Shapeshifters will become the height of their target
Special kill animation
Ejection animations with taller Crewmates

Hide n Seek

Seeker now has a long neck
Heights of Crewmates change based on their distance from the Seeker

If you don’t want to wait until the 8th to go back to being a normal bean – don’t worry. You can turn off the April Fools’ mode from the lobby creation screen.
