While Among Us is still popular, it's certainly fallen out of the mainstream for the time being, but given its viral success, there's plenty of room for another hidden role social deduction game to release to similar levels of success. There's no telling where the hidden role genre of games will be headed in the next few years, but it seems likely that the genre has only just begun its time in the spotlight. Other studios, however, are putting their own spin on the genre with titles such as First Class Trouble, Werewolves Within, and Secret Neighbor, and, hopefully, they'll propel the genre to new heights and innovate on the formula that Among Us set up in the gaming space.
The most obvious example is the controversial Fortnite Imposters mode, which is essentially a one-to-one recreation of Among Us coming soon to Fortnite. It's been just over a year since Among Us blew up and games are already beginning to pop up that are using similar mechanics as the indie title. This isn't to say that every hidden role game that's going to come out is simply a shallow attempt to capitalize on the trend that Among Us started, but that, somewhere down the line, other studios are beginning to realize just how fun hidden role games are. When something is as popular as Among Us, however, there are likely to be copycats following soon after, and it's for this reason that it seems like social deduction games are going to ramp up in frequency in the next several years. Classroom games like Werewolf and Mafia are a lot of fun, and Among Us' studio InnerSloth was able to capitalize on that same style to make a majorly successful video game. Among Us was staggeringly popular thanks to just how fun it was to play with friends and family. However, it was the first break into the mainstream thanks to a lot of lucky factors, but the game's success can't just be chalked up to luck.
Among Us wasn't the first hidden role game in fact, it wasn't even the first hidden role video game with titles like Trouble In Terrorist Town predating it by more than ten years.
