Summary
- Among Us has brought back Halloween cosmetics in a new bundle that users can unlock by participating in matches.
- The new cosmetic set includes different pieces from the 2019 Halloween Hat Bundle, including the popular Plague Mask.
- The Trick Cosmicube and the Treat Cosmicube have also made their return, with all items only available until December 1.
To kick off October, Innersloth has revealed that Halloween cosmetics are making a return to Among Us as part of a new bundle that users can unlock by playing any game mode. The new Among Us cosmetic set features items from 2019's Halloween Hat Bundle and will be available for two months before disappearing again.
Initially released in June 2018 for mobile platforms, Among Us was inspired by social deduction games like Werewolf. Although the title started as a lesser-known indie game, the COVID-19 pandemic saw Innersloth's title go viral thanks to platforms like YouTube and Twitch. As word spread and more people picked up Among Us on various platforms, the developer eventually canceled plans for a sequel and focused on bringing more features to the game over time, including more maps, cosmetics, and game modes. Although the player count has ebbed and flowed over the past six years, this hasn't stopped Among Us from being one of the most successful indie games in recent memory.
Among Us Crossing Over with Popular Capcom Franchise
Innersloth announces the latest collaboration for Among Us, as a popular Capcom franchise is crossing over with the hit game.
The developer of the game has announced that it's bringing back some popular cosmetics for players to obtain. According to Innersloth, Among Us will celebrate Halloween with a new cosmetic set that includes different pieces from the 2019 Halloween Hat Bundle, including the popular Plague Mask. The returning Halloween Hat Bundle can be purchased for 2,000 Beans, which players can earn strictly from participating in matches. In addition to the Halloween Hat Bundle, the Trick Cosmicube and the Treat Cosmicube have also made their return. These can be unlocked for 70 Stars and 2,600 Beans, respectively. To cover the cost of the Trick Cosmicube, Among Us players can purchase 50 Stars for $5.99, and another 20 Stars for $1.99, before any applicable taxes and fees.

As Among Us continues to grow its popularity by collaborating with games like Balatro, this year's Halloween bundle and Cosmicubes are a golden opportunity for newer players just diving into the popular title to get rewards that were once lost. What new content Among Us will offer players in 2025 remains to be seen.
