A keen-eyed Elden Ring player notices that the map of the Lands Between looks remarkably similar to the Crewmate from online multiplayer social deduction game, Among Us. The world of Elden Ring is vast and contains a multitude of different biomes, ecosystems, landmasses, bodies of water, etc., and yet, a drawn outline around the map shows a striking similarity to the Among Us Crewmate, of all things.
Elden Ring's map and the Among Us Crewmate have a long history together, with players discovering certain areas of the map that look just like the character. In those cases, the Crewmate appears as a quick shadow or outline in a small corner of the map or as a minute detail that really needs to be zoomed in on in order to be discovered. However, this time around, it looks like the entire map of the Lands Between seems to be outlined in the shape of the Crewmate.
Redditor DiegOwO_BrandOwO_01 posted a picture of the Lands Between with an outline that forms the shape of the Among Us Crewmate, and it even has a lighter colored area in the middle of the head/face area to represent the masked jumpsuit that the Crewmate wears. The Among Us Crewmate is popular, showing up as a costume or character in other games and even being as a playable character at times. As such, people seeing the Crewmate all over the place, like outlined in the map of Elden Ring, isn't all that surprising.
The Among Us Crewmate shows up in many games, whether as an actual costume, playable character, DLC, or just as an outline or image that players are seeing everywhere they look. Many of the posts about these "crossovers" say something like, "just found something sus in this game," referring to the common way in which Among Us players talk to each other about the Imposter in the game.
One of the most popular skins in Fall Guys is that of the Among Us Crewmate, Crewmate back blings appear in Fortnite, and Cards based on Among Us are going to be included in The Binding of Isaac: Four Souls Requiem. With the Among Us Crewmate as popular as it is, gamers and meme lovers are excited to see the character come up in any way, including as a vague outline of the Elden Ring map.
As Elden Ring continues to be an extremely popular game, more and more players could start to recognize the Crewmate on the game's map of the Lands Between. And, as DiegOwO_BrandOwO_01 comments on their post, perhaps a crossover DLC will make an appearance as well.
Elden Ring is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
