These two are confirmed, though there’s no release date or pricing information available for them yet. However,Among Usparticularly stirred up excitement when teasing a Master ChiefHalocosmetic for the game.
The tweet isn’t revealing much, simply asking what Master Chief is doing sneaking around through air vents. It may be that Master Chief’s skin is further from release than Ratchet and Clank, or the dev may simply be trying to drum up excitement and intrigue. In any case, it would seem that theHaloiconwill also be getting the skin treatment inAmong Ussoon.
WithAmong Usbeing free or very inexpensive on multiple platforms, the developers are relying on skins like these to pay for development fees and server costs. The company has recently paired up with other major IP holders as well, as aScream AmongUscrossoverupdate was just announced, allowing players to creep around as Ghostface themselves. The developer has also worked withLeague of Legendsin promotion of the NetflixArcanespin-off. The promotion tie-in withHalomay be designed to help promote the TV adaptation of theHalogames that recently began airing.
These new skins are just part of the content thatAmong Ushas planned going forward.
