Among Us 2026 Roadmap Part 2: Two New Roles, a Match Info Guide, and More Cosmicubes

Innersloth has published the second part of its 2026 roadmap for Among Us, sketching out what players can expect before the year is out.

What changed / what's coming

  • Two new roles are in development, with one arriving next month. The developer says extensive testing has been done to avoid power-balance issues and to serve a range of player styles.
  • Match Info Guide: a new in-game tool designed to help players and lobby hosts track role settings, quantities, and percentages at a glance. It is planned to launch alongside the first new role next month.
  • New Cosmicubes are in production, with the art team described as actively designing them. Community requests for an Indie Cube 2 and an Ace Attorney theme were acknowledged, though no promises were made.
  • Collaborations are planned for the remainder of the year, though no specific partners or titles were named in the source.

The roadmap also references earlier 2026 announcements — an Among Us show and a narrative spin-off titled Among Us Story: On Guard — though details on those fall outside this dispatch.

For players, the Match Info Guide is the most immediately practical addition: as role counts have grown, lobby configuration has become genuinely difficult to parse mid-session, and a dedicated reference tool addresses that friction directly.
