Even though Among Us 2 has been cancelled for now, a sequel will surely happen at some point. Among Us is simply too popular, and a true sequel could definitely add a lot of features and quality-of-life improvements that are currently being performed with the help of fan-made mods. Here's everything Among Us 2 should definitely include.
In September of 2020, developer InnerSloth announced it was cancelling Among Us 2 in order to focus on the current game. The company cited Among Us' rising popularity as the main reason for this, as developers instead chose to focus on improving the game's current systems and expanding its servers. This has definitely helped enhance the first Among Us, but a sequel would alleviate problems that just can't be fixed with a simple update.
Among Us 2 should undoubtedly include bigger maps. If the popularity of the 100-person mod in Among Us has proven anything, it's that fans want bigger groups - and there needs to be bigger maps to accommodate that. Right now, the maps aren't meant for such large groups, and that means playing with 100 other people can make gameplay overcrowded and jumpy. Bigger maps and bigger groups will be a must in Among Us 2.
How Among Us 2 Could Improve On Among Us
A sequel would ideally add more tasks and Impostor moves, as well. Quite a few of the tasks in Among Us are beginning to feel tedious to fans, which is evidence that more variety is needed. Impostors already have a few useful moves, but adding in new ways to get kills and even special Impostor powers (perhaps unique to certain game modes) would also help shake things up. New roles are also needed, as evident from modders adding in new roles, like Doctor, already. Being able to customize which roles fit into which Among Us game modes would also be really nice, and it would keep players from growing bored too quickly.
Of course, additional game modes are also a necessity. Players are constantly inventing new games to play inside of Among Us, including the Slasher custom mini-game and the ever-popular Hide and Seek. Among Us 2 should definitely include some of these modes officially. Variety and customizability are key to a successful sequel. By allowing players more options to customize aspects like game modes, roles, and moves, along with offering them a variety of maps to play on, Among Us 2 could provide nearly limitless amounts of fun.
Right now, a sequel to Among Us seems years away, especially as InnerSloth continues to focus on improving the current game. However, Among Us 2 could add a lot of fun and useful features that can keep players interested while also providing more options for game modes and roles.
