Among Us is back with another game-changing update! The wildly popular social deduction game has just rolled out its v17.0.0 update, introducing two brand-new roles that add fresh layers of strategy and chaos to every match. Whether you're a seasoned Crewmate or a suspicious Impostor, this update is sure to shake things up in space.
What's New in Among Us v17.0.0?
The v17.0.0 update brings some of the most anticipated additions to the game’s growing list of roles. Following the success of previous role-based updates (like Engineer, Scientist, and Guardian Angel), the devs at Innersloth are continuing to expand the game's mechanics to keep it exciting and unpredictable.
New Roles Introduced:
Tracker (Crewmate Role)
The Tracker is a Crewmate with a unique ability: they can tag a player and monitor their movements on the map for a limited time. This role is perfect for catching shady Impostor behavior, confirming alibis, or helping coordinate with teammates in a more strategic way. But beware—choosing the wrong person to track could cost you!
Noisemaker (Crewmate Role)
The Noisemaker creates a sound alert when they're eliminated, revealing their location to everyone nearby. It’s a perfect role for exposing sneaky Impostors who try to make silent kills in hidden corners. If you're playing as Noisemaker, you’re basically a trap waiting to spring.
These two roles not only empower Crewmates with more tools to fight deception but also force Impostors to adapt and change their strategies. Silent assassinations just got a lot riskier!
Role Customization & Settings
As with previous updates, hosts can fully customize the role chances and mechanics in the lobby settings. Want to increase the odds of a Tracker joining the game? Or remove certain roles for a classic experience? The flexibility in the settings lets you tailor matches to your group's playstyle.
Community Response
The Among Us community has responded with excitement and curiosity. Streamers, content creators, and casual players alike are already sharing clips of clutch Tracker plays and hilarious failed Impostor attempts due to the Noisemaker’s last gasp alert.
Innersloth’s steady commitment to improving and expanding the game has kept Among Us fresh, years after it first took over the internet.
Quality of Life Improvements & Bug Fixes
Alongside the new roles, the v17.0.0 patch includes various bug fixes, UI tweaks, and performance optimizations to ensure a smoother gameplay experience across all platforms—PC, mobile, and consoles.
Final Thoughts
With the addition of Tracker and Noisemaker, Among Us v17.0.0 continues to evolve beyond its simple beginnings into a more layered, dynamic social strategy game. Whether you're trying to expose Impostors or outsmart the Crewmates, these new roles create more thrilling and unpredictable moments every match.
