MUMO Studio had a spark of inspiration in 2020 with the heavy success of Among Us. Despite not developing the game, it set them on a track to create a game like it in the form of DUBIUM. This game takes the chaotic, friendship-challenging gameplay of Among Us and translates it into a third-person shooter with Pixar-like graphics.

Players will take on the role of a mercenary, called Frontiers in the game’s lore. The gist is that the player has been hired, along with four others, to enter an abandoned spacecraft and destroy dangerous tech owned by a dastardly organization. A rival company has also hired a traitor to prevent the non-traitors from fulfilling their tasks and to steal the tech instead of destroying it. Regular mercenaries will have to destroy the tech, repair various ship systems, and survive the traitor. The traitor will have to steal the tech and kill anyone who stands in the way.

There are five playable characters in the game with their own gameplay style. Here are the characters and their abilities:

Jessica Fernandez – Ability to see through walls with the use of her Beholder goggles.
Zack Zhou – Can disrupt all nearby tech and comms for a short time which reduces the ability to catch the traitor.
Sergei Tulinov – Injects himself with a special serum that reduces ballistic damage.
Sobok EE – Can wear a mask that filters out toxic gas and allows oxygen where oxygen is depleted.
Ryan Goldman – Finally, this character can scan for residue and clues left by other players on different surfaces. When he does, he can know the exact location of said player for a certain amount of time.

Each of these five characters has a hefty advantage on their side which should make for some exciting and friendship-testing gameplay.

DUBIUM is available currently for Early Access on PC via Steam and has yet to have an official release date.
