Among Us 3D will make the VR version playable without a headset, and it's coming 'soon'

A new version of Among Us is coming: Among Us 3D will bring the existing VR version to flatspace, allowing players who don't have or want to use a VR headset to play the first-person version of the original 2D social deduction game.

Innersloth and Schell Games announced Among Us 3D today without a specific release date, but it's "coming soon" on their development roadmap, and a demo will be available this Monday as part of Steam Next Fest (which is just a virtual event where tons of developers make demos available on Steam).

Among Us 3D is basically the same as the VR version, but adapts it for play without VR-style controls, and adds a HUD. Crossplay between Among Us 3D and the existing VR version will be possible, so players of either can join games together.

Among Us VR will remain a separate game on Steam, but will be rebranded with the Among Us 3D name to indicate that the VR and non-VR versions are compatible with each other. (Neither are compatible with the original 2D Among Us, but that would be quite a feat.)

The developers also said that a new currency, called Stardust, will be introduced in "a few months" and is "designed to expand customization options for players and support the expansion of the game."
