Among Us took a giant leap for bean-kind during Sony’s State of Play Livestream event on April 29. Developer InnerSloth announced that its smash-hit social deduction game would be released on PlayStation 5 and PS4 consoles on an unannounced date in 2021. To commemorate its debut on Sony’s gaming systems, InnerSloth will add a couple of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart cosmetics, including a Ratchet outfit and a Clank pet. So, when should players expect these new in-game items to become available?

The announcement that Among Us will arrive on PlayStation came months after it was revealed the game would also be coming to Microsoft’s Xbox consoles by year’s end. That means the once-obscure indie game is on track to be available on every major gaming platform by the end of 2021. The game’s meteoric rise to fame has been one of the gaming industry’s most memorable Cinderella stories of late. The murder-mystery game was originally released in 2018 and flew under the radar until some of Twitch’s most popular personalities began playing in during the summer of 2020. Less than a year later, InnerSloth has collaborated with Sony to create a mash-up long-time Among Us fans would have likely once thought impossible.

Among Us will receive three different Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart-themed cosmetics. Those include a Ratchet’s ears as a hat, his orange spacesuit, and a mini version of Clank to follow players around the Among Us‘ recently added Airship map. Here’s when players can expect these latest new Among Us skins to become available.

Among Us: When Are The Ratchet & Clank Skins Releasing?

InnerSloth has not revealed the exact date Among Us‘ Ratchet & Clank skins will be released, but gamers should expect it to arrive by December 31, 2021, at the latest. The chances are that the new content will debut much earlier than that, based on Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart’s June 11 release date. InnerSloth and Sony will likely want to coincide the release of the PS5 exclusive with the Among Us skins to market the new game around its release date. Plus, InnerSloth wouldn’t even have to wait until a new game update is ready to roll out the new Ratchet & Clank skins.

The developers already showed that the Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart skins are essentially ready to go. Among Us has received holiday-themed cosmetics in the past without any major game changes, so InnerSloth could choose to do the same for this event. It’s unclear if InnerSloth wants to wait until its game is officially launched on PlayStation consoles, but expect the latest new Among Us skins to be released on June 11 at the earliest.
