The report added that Epic Games decided to capitalise on the popularity by adding its own Among Us-style game mode to Fortnite, called The Spy Within. As per Fortnite, players will start the mode by being told which team they are on, but the roles of the other players are completely hidden. Two players in each game will be on the Spy team and must eliminate all others without getting caught. The rest of the players must complete objectives throughout the map but will not be able to speak to each other unless they are trying to vote spies out. Meanwhile, Nintendo announced today that sleeper hit multiplayer phenomenon Among Us is coming to Switch immediately. The game has been, till now, exclusive to PC and mobile and will be available on console for the first time, reported The Next Web. Launched in 2018, it exploded to popularity this year, developers have decided to scrap the idea of a sequel and develop new material for the existing game.
