Among Us update now live, adds new "Judge" role
Covered by 2 sources · 2 articles
Among Us has deployed version 18.0.0, introducing the Judge role as a fresh gameplay mechanic. This new role grants players the ability to take control of meetings and overturn voting decisions, adding a layer of authority that can shift the outcome of eliminations. The Judge can eject a Crewmate independently, though the excerpts don't clarify the full mechanics or limitations of this power. The update represents a notable expansion to Among Us' role variety, altering how meetings play out and potentially disrupting traditional voting dynamics.
- Judge role fundamentally changes meeting mechanics by allowing one player to override group votes and make independent ejection calls.
- Version 18.0.0 is live now, so the role is immediately available to players.
- This addition suggests Innersloth continues iterating on Among Us' social deduction mechanics rather than moving on to new projects.
