Innersloth used Summer Game Fest to reveal Among Us Story: On Guard, a narrative-focused spinoff of its hit social-deduction game. The studio confirmed the title will appear on both the Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo Switch 2, and presented the project as a single-player experience that expands the lore, provides new ways to play, and centers on story-driven content rather than multiplayer matches. Background and platforms Innersloth framed Among Us Story: On Guard as a response to fan requests for deeper narrative content set in the Among Us universe. The announcement trailer was shown during Friday’s Summer Game Fest showcase, and Innersloth explicitly confirmed that the game will release on both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. No release window or launch date has been provided. What Innersloth says about the game (rewritten) In studio messaging, Innersloth positioned the game inside the MIRA Research & Development simulator. Players begin a Crewmate training program by taking on the role of Guard, a security-focused position responsible for shipwide safety. The developer explained that the Guard must balance standard Crewmate duties with investigating murders and proving their innocence if killings occur. The team emphasized the title’s investigative emphasis, noting players will need to identify Impostors, collect evidence, and navigate possible false accusations. Innersloth also outlined the structure and goals of the simulation: players will explore multiple outcomes, including three distinct endings tied to improving safety for Crewmates, while completing tasks to progress and unearth clues. The studio introduced a cast of characters—Operator (the player’s role in the training program), Management, Guard, Cook, Scientist, Engineer, Doctor, and Captain—each described with brief personality notes intended to set expectations for story beats and interactions. Additional notes A trailer accompanied the announcement; Innersloth did not attach a release date. We will update this story as official launch details become available.
