Among Us released on June 15, 2018, on Android and iOS before debuting later in the year on Steam. Recently, the game's popularity exploded on Twitch due in part to its platform's streams. It was announced in Aug. by InnerSloth -- the game's publisher and developer -- that a sequel was in development. However, the creative team canceled this release in favor of fixing some current issues with Among Us.

Rep. Ocasio-Cortez was elected to the United States House of Representatives in 2018's midterm election. She took office at the age of 29, becoming the youngest woman to serve in the United States Congress. She is currently running for reelection against Republican John Cummings and write-in candidate Antoine Tucker. She identifies as a Democratic-Socialist.

Developed and published by InnerSloth, Among Us is available on Android, iOS and Microsoft Windows.
