Among Us kickstarted the recent craze in social deduction games
The shift from paid model to free-to-play is one that many developers have to decide nowadays. When there are so many games that are online only, or require a group to get the most out of the experience, it’s difficult for so many people to find the funds to try these games out. This is whyWorld MakersCEO, James Thompson, made the choice to switch, saying “It wasn’t an easy decision moving to a free-to-play model, but we think it’s the right call to reduce the barrier to entry and make sure more people can enjoyDeceit 2.”

Of course, this may leave players who have already purchased the game wondering what they will get out of this. Thompson has ensured that players will be taken care of saying, “For those players who have already purchased the game ahead of the free-to-play relaunch, we’ll be providing the Werewolf downloadable content, three Crypt Keys, in-game currency, and a Season One Pass for free to express our appreciation for their early and continued support.”
The game will be entirely new to console players and will offer the traditional social deduction gameplay where players have to find out who in the group is out to get them all.
