Fortnitenow has a new mode called Fortnite Impostors. I’ll give you two guesses as to what it is, and if you get the first one wrong I’m going to assume you’re the impostor. I mean, it’s in theheadline.

The mode isAmong Us, more or less, and there’s a trailer for the backstab royale below.

Impostors works with up to ten players, and is set on a new level called The Bridge. Players are assigned tasks which makes it seem like they’re behind the scenes of a normal Royale match: repairing the battle pass, preparing chests and llamas, and “delivering Storm reports for analysis”, according to the press release.

Sound familiar? Among Us didn’t invent this kind of social gaming, but it sure did popularise it last year. Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War added just such a modeonly last week, called Double Agent. At this point I suspect live service games adding Among Us-style modes is as inevitable as every social network adding Clubhouse-style audio broadcasting.
