New Among Us Update Adds Unique "Judge" Role

Update v18.0.0 has been released for Among Us, adding the new "Judge" role with the power to unilaterally eject suspects.

Innersloth studio has released a fresh version v18.0.0 update for the popular multiplayer game Among Us. The main addition is a unique new crewmate role — the Judge, which will significantly alter the course of discussions and votes.

How does the Judge role work?

The Judge receives the powerful "Overrule" ability, which allows them to single-handedly eject any player of their choice. It does not matter how the rest of the crew voted or if everyone skipped voting. However, there is a significant risk: if you accuse an innocent crewmate instead of an Impostor, you will be ejected instead.

Key features of the new role:

  • The ability is unlocked after quickly completing a certain number of tasks (customizable in the lobby);
  • The Judge can use their veto power only once per game;
  • A mistake costs the Judge their own life.

Other patch improvements

In addition to the new role, the update contains several convenient fixes and improvements:

  • Added a new Match Info Guide that allows players to quickly check the player list, assigned roles, and current match settings;
  • A cooldown has been implemented for the Detective's Interrogate ability after an emergency meeting ends.
