Fortnite players are begging Epic to bring back Among Us-inspired mode

Please bring it back.

Fortnite is well known for hosting a bunch of different game modes these days, but fans of the game are begging Epic to bring back the ultra-popular Imposters mode which was based on Among Us.

With Battle Royale, LEGO Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Festival, Epic Games has served up a smorgasbord of ways to play the game, in an attempt to keep as many gamers as possible inside their ecosystem at all times. For Fortnite fans, however, it’s the Among Us-inspired Imposters that they want to see.

Added in August 2021, we were able to enjoy it for a full year until Epic removed it in 2022. Two years on, we haven’t heard anything about it since, and want that to change.

“I don’t know why they ever removed it,” wrote HypixL on Reddit. “It was fun and really good for grinding XP if you missed most of the season.” Alexfrizzell agreed, stating: “I was devastated when they removed it. I know it was quite glitchy at times but it was still really fun, sometimes the glitches made it even more fun.”

Some even enjoyed it more than the original, with Sto_Nerd stating that their “friend group never got into Among Us but we all loved Imposters,” while The Cartel100 simply stated that it was “way better than Among Us.”

Despite the love for the mode, Epic has been silent about it ever since vaulting it in August 2022. There’s been no talk of a return, even amongst leakers, which makes it seem like it may have been removed for good. For me though, I agree with the commentors about—I liked Imposters even more than Among Us, and with so many other modes now in the game, it would be the perfect next addition to Fortnite‘s growing roster.
