Among Us, the popular online multiplayer game, has announced its latest update, which has now gone live on PC, consoles, and mobile devices. The update includes a host of new features and improvements, including a new Horse Mode in celebration of April Fools' Day, new cosmetics, and bug fixes.

Among Us is an online multiplayer social deduction game that was developed and published in 2018 by the American game studio Innersloth. The game is set in space-themed surroundings, where players control colorful, armless cartoon astronauts. Players are divided into two roles, with most being Crewmates and a small number playing Impostors. Crewmates work together to complete assigned tasks, while also using social deduction to identify and vote out suspected Impostors, who appear identical to Crewmates. Impostors, on the other hand, try to secretly kill the Crewmates.

The developers have also added a new Horse Wrangling mode to the game, which is essentially a Hide n' Seek mode with a horse-y surprise. Players are encouraged to check back around April Fools to see what other surprises the developers have in store.

The Among Us update also introduces new cosmetics to the game, including hats, nameplates, and visors. Players can purchase these new items from the in-game store using beans, and some of the nameplate prices have been sabotaged by an Impostor, making them cheaper than
