2 canceled between us, but for good reason


Developer Inersloth has decided to cancel our 2 and instead focus on expanding the content provided between us. In a blog post, the developer wrote that the decision was made in response to the recent rise in popularity for the party survival game, which has been downloaded more than million1 million times in September alone.

Inersloth writes, “All the stuff we planned for 2 between us will go between our 1 instead.” “This is probably a more difficult choice because it means going inside the game’s original code and reworking many parts of it. We have a lot of plans and we’re excited to bring you new content as you continue to enjoy playing. “

This content expansion includes new servers, colorblind support, friends / account system and a new phase, although Inersloth added that “a lot of other plans have been created, we just need to prioritize and configure.”

Inersloth did not provide an exact ETA on when to expect this new content to arrive, although the developer writes that working on the servers currently “takes all the development time.” The new friends / account system will also “definitely take some time.”

However, its first release in 2018, saw a huge increase in players among us in 2020, probably due to the popularity of the game on Tw Twitch. According to Sensor tower, We received 18.4 million mobile downloads in August, followed by another 41.9 million mobile downloads in September. It includes steam charts, as well as large AAA games, which have been released recently.

Fall Order Like the Guys, certain platforms have been able to play between us for free. It’s only $ 5 on Steam and mobile devices support the free version. The lower barrier to entry certainly helped it gain such a large audience, although the recent increase in its popularity is odd. The game’s simple graphics scale well on a variety of platforms. Technically speaking, instead, running on a switch should be no problem. However, there are special challenges in communicating with players on those platforms. Not only does it not have a text communication system, but it does not allow voice chat unless you use a separate application on your mobile device. This means that no one uses voice chat.

Ours is available for PC and mobile devices. When asked if Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch versions are possible, Inersloth studio programmer Forrest Willard explains that it would be difficult to create console ports between us. Communication systems are a big reason for this. It differs from certain similar games, such as Gary’s Mod Trouble in Terrorist Town, which by default supports voice and chat.
