Among Us New Map The Airship Release Date Announced For March

Innersloth has revealed the release date for Among Us' new map The Airship, and it is coming on March 31, 2021. The Airship will be the fourth overall map in Among Us and the third one added to the game since release, following Polus and MIRA-HQ.

Among Us has been teasing players with images and short animations of the new Airship map on social media. It's already known that Among Us' new map will feature ladders and moving walkways, two forms of travel that were not previously included in other parts of the game. It's also been widely assumed that Among Us would be adding new tasks to The Airship map, since both MIRA-HQ and Polus also came with some unique tasks attached.

Now, players know they will be able to dive into Among Us' The Airship map at the end of the month. The news about Among Us' new map release date was shared on the company's official Twitter page, along with a link to a devlog containing information about what else will be included in The Airship update, including the first steps towards a proper Among Us account system.

In addition to new tasks, players will also be about to choose their own starting room on The Airship once Among Us' new map releases. This will provide lots of different opportunities for players to put themselves in a safe (or extremely dangerous) starting position early on in the game, and it is likely the Among Us community will begin coming up with their favorite starting room strategies rather quickly once The Airship launches.

In the blog post (available on itch.io) Among Us' developers also spoke about the reasons why things like a new map, bug fixes, and an account system for Among Us took a long time to implement. When a game gets as popular as Among Us did, especially an indie game, it can be easy to forget that there are very real people working as hard as they can behind the scenes to make sure their product is up to par. Among Us' devs state that they knew some players have had issues with toxicity in the game, and said it "It would be wrong to launch the new map, get all hyped, and pretend like there were no issues with toxicity." Because of this, the team wanted to make sure a proper accountability and moderation system was in place before releasing The Airship.

Thankfully, all of Innersloth's hard work has appeared to pay off, and users will be able to play Among Us' new map The Airship before the beginning of April, along with all of the updates it will bring.
