No matter how you spin it, 2020 was an incredible year for Innersloth and you'd have been hard-pressed to escape its hit game Among Us. Despite releasing back in 2018, it slowly became one of 2020's most successful games and, after a surprise drop following the last Indie Showcase in December, we can finally be sus on Nintendo Switch.
We've known for some time they'll be adding a new map as a free update and now, Innersloth has given us a small update. Detailed via their latest blog post, a lot of it is a retread of last year's well-earned achievements and launches for other platforms, but they also discuss Among Us' roadmap for 2021.
The new Airship map is part of this, which was inadvertently accessible on Switch via a glitch back in December. Due to release in "Early 2021" and based around The Henry Stickmin Collection, the Airship uniquely lets you choose which room to start in, alongside new features like ladders and additional costumes. It was revealed during The Game Awards and if you missed it, the trailer is available below:
For the Switch version specifically, Innersloth also addressed that several bug fixes have been worked on, including one which stops particular words being blocked in chat. Furthermore, an in-game account system is also being implemented, adding friends lists and saved stats, but no launch window has been given.
It's certainly set to be a busy 2021 for Among Us and we can't wait to see what it brings.
Did you pick up the Switch version last month? Are you still playing regularly? Let us know down below.

Airship level featuring music track by Led Zeppelin..
Play this game every day My only problem is that there taking a really long time with the switch skins.
Kinda Sus Bro
Bought it on Saturday and couldn't join my friends lobby. Had to use the pc version instead.
It's pretty amazing how relatively small Newgrounds developers and animators made it so huge, I love that.
Concerned Ape, Inner Sloth, hm.
Maybe I need to start a company named Extravagant Baboon or something like that
I hope they take advantage of the Nintendo Switch's Online Play Invites feature that Nintendo added in but never actually uses
I'm glad they're finally fixing glitches on the switch I've had many glitches sometimes where the impostor kills everyone and the game doesn't end till he votes himself out since he's the only one left then the game screen turns black and you have to leave the room. Another glitch was when the reactor/oxygen sabotage was going off it would go into the negative numbers and keep going instead of stopping at 0. Besides those glitches the switch version of among us is awesome
This is cool that Among Us that gotten popular enough that Innersloth now has a roadmap for this year.
Speaking of Dev Blogs/Dev Diaries, has anyone @NintendoLife received the news tip about the Dev Diary for Ninjala that I posted about? 🤔
I posted it in the Ninjala Forum last week, and I also sent you guys a News Tip/Press Release Contact via the Contact Us Page yesterday. 🤔
@SM3DASislit I suggest you send it to one of the more active wrigthers I sended mine to lamdoolan instead, and he updated it right away.
@daisygurl U can take cencore mode off altogethor if you want to.
@Snatcher
I already did that, but thanks for the advice anyways. Whenever I've given Nintendo Life a Ninjala news tip, I've always included ryancraddock, Liam_Doolan, (and more recently KateGray), as they either write the most articles, or are the most active in the comments.
In case you're curious as to what I posted you can go here (or here if you just want to go straight to the article I referenced).
@SM3DASislit maybe they don't want to wright ninjala new idk bc they don;t do many for among us.
@Snatcher
That's the conclusion that I've started to come to as well. 😔
Nintendo Life used to write articles about Ninjala every week (or every other week) for a while. However, since November they've only written like 1 article a month, so I don't why they suddenly decreased the articles written for Ninjala. One time I sent them a news tip about Ninjala, and they wrote the article 45 minutes later. I not expecting that to ever happen again, but I feel like it should be like a day (or two) later at max (IMO). 🤔
Actually, Among Us falls within the same gap between Ninjala articles (except maybe the gap is a bit bigger for Among Us). I hope I'm making at least some sense. 🤔
@SM3DASislit All the sense in the world, Maybe you should talk to other people about it in the chit chat thread so we can get on this, cuz at the end of the day this is a site thats gets paid for us reading there stuff so they could take criticisms.
@Snatcher
Okay, that's good.
I'm confused with what exactly you think I should talk to other people in the Chit Chat Thread. The fact that Nintendo Life seems to ignore by Ninjala news tips (for some reason), or the article itself about Ninjala that I posted about.
I haven't brought it up much because of the following two reasons:
1) Most people on Nintendo Life don't seem to care about Ninjala in the first place.
2) If I bring up Ninjala too much, I'm concerned that people would consider me a "troll". I also don't want to be like that one person who was asking/demanding Nintendo Life to write an article for the Risk of Rain 1.0 update, and then Nintendo Life never ended up writing the article about it, because of how much they were asking/demanding for it. (I'm wouldn't go that crazy with it, to begin with, but I still don't want to run that risk of not having Nintendo Life write the article about it, because I talked about it too much). 🤔
@SM3DASislit Thats a stupid reasone for them not to wright it, in fact they are a news site and they should wright stuff about nintendo and game new realated, but they will wright about anything under the sun unless poeple care about it, thats just stupid.
I got the Switch version on launch day but it is so hard to text in handheld mode compared to the phone. So I haven’t played it much on Switch. I guess if I had a wireless USB keyboard then it would be ideal to play it on the TV.
@Snatcher
Are you talking about Ninjala or Risk of Rain? 🤔
I think it's dumb for Nintendo Life to not write an article, even if most of the people on here aren't into the said game because at least one person (or a group of people) will appreciate the news.
I know that certain games have more of a fanbase than others, but the Nintendo Life fanbase for Ninjala is probably the smallest Nintendo Life fanbase that I've seen. 🤔
So, what should be done about it, then? I feel like I've done all I can, and I don't know what else to do at this point. 🤔
Also, thank you for listening and responding to me, I really appreciate it. 🤔
@SM3DASislit both. Np man.
@Snatcher
Okay, thanks for letting me know.
Sometimes when I talk about something I'm really interested in, I sometimes tend to ramble on without realizing it, so I'm glad I wasn't endlessly rambling.
Do you think I should post the Ninjala article I posted about in The Nintendo Switch Thread, or The Chit Chat Thread, to see if anyone responds there? (Which they probably won't respond to it, but I feel like I should still try anyways). 🤔
If so, should I re-tag the authors I initially tagged when I posted it in the Ninjala Forum? 🤔
EDIT: Also, I happened to see your post in the Chit Chat Thread, and I hate to say this, but you spelled Liam Doolan's username wrong.
(In case you're wondering what it is, it's Liam_Doolan). 🤔
@SM3DASislit Ya I forget his name alot. I think you should post it in the chit chat thread or ninjala thread, I think you should post in chit chat thread since its for you know chit chating, it wold give it much reply's.
release date?
@Snatcher
On okay, it's fine. I just wanted to let you know. I already posted in the Ninjala Thread a week ago. When I posted it in the Ninjala Thread, I tagged the most active Nintendo Life authors, so I don't know if I should tag them again, if I'm going to repost it into the Chit Chat Thread. 🤔
That being said, do you think I should re-tag the authors if I reposted it in The Chit Chat Thread? 🤔
@SM3DASislit YA think you should not loseing any thing if you do, I wish they wold respond more often as new is pretty inportant for a news site.
@Snatcher
Okay, thanks for letting me know. Here's goes (most likely) nothing, LOL. 🤔😐
Also, do you want me to wait a bit, so people can respond to your news tip, or can I go ahead and post it? 🤔
EDIT: Sorry I'm asking so many questions, I'm just nervous about posting it (for some reason).
@SM3DASislit No you can go a head but if the end of making hte article a whole day later I'm going to call the out on it, Plus I made a thread for the game already And I will probably say somthing about it in other articles, and I love talking so I can do this all day.
@Snatcher
Okay, thanks for letting me know. That makes sense, but just don't go too crazy with posting it in other articles. 🤔
@SM3DASislit don;t worry I wont go crazy.
@Snatcher
I figured you wouldn't go crazy with it, but I just wanted to double-check (for some reason). 🤔
