Among Us Devs Tease Character Based on The Rock Amidst Movie Rumors

screenrant.com:

Poking fun at Dwayne «The Rock» Johnson's recent video game movie announcement, Among Us has teased a massively muscular character seemingly based on the Hollywood superstar. InnerSloth's social deduction title sees players assume the roles of either cooperative crewmates or aggressive Impostors. Recent crossovers with the mobile multiplayer game include a Ghostface Among Us skin, with the slasher villain arriving in an upcoming update.

First released back in 2018, InnerSloth's Among Us experienced a massive burst in popularity in 2020. The social deduction title casts some players as crewmates who must perform various tasks across the map in order to win the round. Other Among Us players are cast as alien Impostors, who are physically identical to crewmates, and tasked with hunting and killing crewmates to win the round. Impostors can used deception to avoid being discovered, and shortcuts allow them to move around the map more quickly than the crewmates. The title's popularity has led to a number of crossovers with other games, with one Among Us and Fortnite crossover following controversy after a social deduction mode was added to Epic Games' battle royale shooter.

Dwayne «The Rock» Johnson recently revealed that he is working on a video game movie, and the official Among Us Twitter account has responded to the news. The Hollywood icon and former WWE superstar is apparently adapting a massive action game, though the actual project is unconfirmed. Demonstrating the game's signature humor, Among Us then gave one of the title's iconic crewmates a pair of enormous arms to perfectly emulate Johnson's own impressive physique. The Among Us post is surely a joke,
