Among Us is crossing over with League of Legends, Arcane characters as crewmembers

Arcane characters will be made available in Among Us through an Arcane Cosmicube dropping November 12.

Arcane is continuing its rampant run towards becoming a phenomenon after it was announced that Among Us would feature League of Legends characters in their game.

The video features a gray Among Us crewmember catching Heimerdinger, a League of Legends character featured in the Netflix series, running around a dead orange crewmember. 

The Among us in-game partnership is the first of its kind. It will be the first time the game does not feature the colored space soldiers in-game. Instead, players will have an opportunity to play as some of their favorite League of Legends characters as they search for an imposter.
