Those little Among Us beans are being transported to a new dimension. Developer Innersloth has announced a new game called Among Us 3D, which is exactly what it sounds like: the hit multiplayer deduction game, but played in a three-dimensional world from a first-person perspective.

If that sounds familiar, it’s because that’s what the VR version of the game was when it launched in 2022. 3D will make that experience playable without the need for a headset. With the launch of Among Us 3D, the VR version will be rebranded, and the new release will unite players across both PC and VR through cross-play.

The studio says that this “will allow Steam PC users to join cross-platform lobbies with VR players on Meta Quest, Steam VR, PlayStation VR 2, and PICO.”

It’s not clear yet when the 3D game will be launching, but the studio says that it’s coming soon on Steam. A demo will be available as part of Steam Next Fest on Monday. And while the original 2D version of Among Us will still exist, there will be no cross-play between it and the first-person edition.

As part of the announcement, Innersloth also revealed a new in-game currency called “stardust,” which will be used to buy cosmetics in Among Us 3D. The studio specified that the currency won’t be used for purchasing any actual game modes or features. Here’s the full roadmap for what has been announced so far:
