The Fungle, a new map for the popular multiplayer game Among Us, is set to release on October 24th. This news was announced earlier in the week, though hints about its release started last month where it was teased that the map would come out sometime in October. Now, fans have a confirmed date to look forward to.

The Fungle is described as a mysterious island filled with mushrooms, hiding spots, tasks, and secrets waiting to be discovered. New tasks for crew members will also be introduced in this map.

Among Us, first released in 2018, skyrocketed in popularity in 2020. In this game, players are members of a spaceship crew, tasked with maintaining the ship while an impostor lurks among them, trying to take out the crew. The objective is to identify who the impostor is amongst the group. Among Us is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, iOS, and Android. There's also work being done for a PlayStation VR2 version, but no release date for it has been announced yet.
