Few would have expected that a 2018 indie title would become a breakout hit two years later, butAmong Ushas seemingly defied the odds. Over the past few months, the low profile indie game had an explosion in popularity and has become one of 2020’s breakout hits thanks to its clever emphasis on player deception. Of course, it helps that the game’s charming aesthetics lend themselves to being portrayed in a horrific fashion, as seen by this art from Sony Santa Monica Studio’s Raf Grassetti.Grassetti–who was the art director for 2018’sÂGod of War–shareda piece of art on his personal Twitterdepicting an Imposter mercilessly killing a Crewmate fromÂAmong Us. Of course, the scene that we all know too well from the game is made even more jarring when it’s a sculpted CG creation straight out ofAlien. You can check out Grassetti’s work below, along with a timelapse video of him putting together the artwork:
This of course isn’t the first time that Grassetti has shared some impressive creations on social media, as previously he has recreated some of the iconic fighters ofÂSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate,ÂStar Fox, and many more. We recommend heading over tohis Instagramto see even more of his amazing work and 3D models.
Among Uswas first released back in 2018 by developer InnerSloth, and while the game released to a quiet reception two years ago, it surprisingly has become one of the biggest streaming hits of the past few months. The developer initially was aiming to release a sequel, but thanks to its surprise success,those plans have been cancelledin favor of expanding on the original game with new content and updates.
