Fortnite's Impostors game mode has received a lot of backlash for its blatant similarities to Among Us. Finally though, Fortnite has credited Among Us for the mode, and hinted at potentially collaborating with the popular game.

For all intents and purposes, Fortnite's Impostors game mode was essentially a 3D version of Among Us. Players run around completing objectives whilst an Impostor starts killing players, leaving those who survive to call meetings to determine who the Impostor is and expel them from the game. Among Us developer Innersloth was not happy with Epic Games, more so frustrated by how close the Impostors mode's themes and terminology was to its game than the usage of similar game mechanics. In the perspective of Innersloth, despite the success of Among Us, Epic Games and Fortnite are still much larger entities, so it left the indie studio feeling pretty powerless to change anything.

In the latest Fortnite update, Epic Games finally gives credit to Innersloth and Among Us for the Impostors game mode. The tweet announcing the latest update directly mentions Among Us, with Fortnite writing, "Impostors mode, inspired by the hit @AmongUsGame." This update brings new features to the Impostors mode including role bias, where players can search for games depending on their agent versus impostor preference, and a playlist dedicated to open voice chat. Unlike Among Us on mobile platforms, where voice chat isn't used as frequently, it makes sense for it to be readily available for Fortnite, as many gamers typically play with a microphone.

It doesn't stop there, though, as the official Among Us Twitter account responded to Fortnite's post. After an exchange of messages, Fortnite states, "Big fans! We never got to talk about how you inspired us. What do you think about working on something fun together sometime?" to which Among Us responds saying, "yessss have ur Agents contact our Crewmates" with a handshake emoji. A leak from a couple of months ago suggested a Fortnite and Among Us crossover was in the works, but if this conversation is any indication, it seems like some sort collaboration is definitely on the way.

While Epic Games' fight with Apple doesn't seem to be ending anytime soon, it is nice to see things become settled between it and Innersloth. While Innersloth does not own the rights to its gameplay in Among Us, from the start, Epic Games treaded a bit too close with the Impostors game mode and should have made some more radical changes to really make it its own thing. As it stands though, it seems like the two companies are on good terms, which means Fortnite and Among Us fans should be getting some fun crossover content down the road, whatever that may be. How about a Crewmate skin for Fortnite?

Fortnite is on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
