Among Us Collector’s Editions Include Adorable Crewmate Plush

Three different Collector’s Editions of Among Us have been announced, and two of the packages will include a plush version of the Purple Crewmate. All three Among Us Collector’s Editions will be available for purchase later this year or can be preordered now online from the Maximum Games website.

Among Us is the definition of a sleeper hit. Having been originally released in 2018, it took until summer 2020 for the game to hit mainstream popularity. Its steady growth was thanks to word-of-mouth and a few high-profile streamers checking the title out. A Collector’s Edition for the PC version of Among Us was released earlier this year as well, with plenty of extras to entice both Crewmates and Impostors.

The three new editions, released by Maximum Games, are titled the Crewmate Edition, Impostor Edition, and Ejected Edition. All three contain the base game, DLC (including some exclusive to the retail versions), a sticker sheet, a poster, downloadable phone wallpapers, a holographic Access Card, and a 3D lenticular case. The Impostor and Ejected Editions also include a purple Crewmate plush, designed by Dual Wield Studios’ Hannako Lambert. All three are scheduled to release on December 31, 2o21. By then, all console platforms – including PlayStation and Xbox – will have versions available.

While the Crewmate Edition is the “basic” collection, retailing for $29.99 US, the other two options include more elaborate add-ons. The next tier is the Impostor Edition. Besides the aforementioned Among Us plush, it also gives buyers a lanyard, a spinner pin, and a limited edition box. The Among Us Ejected Edition includes all of the above, plus a fleece blanket, steel book, and beanie hat. They are priced at $49.99 and $89.99, respectively.

Much of the new merchandise is designed by popular illustrators and artists across the internet. Lambert designed not only the plush but the lanyard, blanket, beanie, and Access Cards. Amy Liu, who is part of the Among Us art team, worked on the wallpapers. Alyssa Herman created the sticker designs, while Cynthia Her is responsible for the spinner pin. As for the map poster, it was designed by Cannon Kissane.

These new Collector’s Editions do everything a good deluxe package should – include the game and DLC, with some physical and digital goodies to entice buyers to double-dip. The new merchandise in particular is adorable and clearly designed with great care and passion. It may not include the working Emergency Meeting button of the PC edition, the add-ons included more than make up for it. Hopefully, players won’t find the new Collector’s Editions too “sus” and will be willing to risk ejection one more time.

Among Us is available now for Nintendo Switch, PC, and mobile devices.
