The new update will also change the user interface. The settings menu has been completely changed. The game host will see three tabs labeled game presets, game settings, and role settings. Other crewmates can see the game settings using the view button.  

Among Us has new crewmate and imposter roles

The three new roles include two new crewmate roles and a new imposter role. The first crewmate role is called the Tracker. This crewmate attaches a tracking device to other players to view their location and movement on the minimap. The tracking device will operate for a limited time.

The second crewmate role is called the Noisemaker. This crewmate makes noise when the imposter kills them and alerts his team about the body’s location. The Noisemaker has four speakers at his back that produce noise and alert his team. A red signal on the screen’s bottom left corner alerts other crewmates and shows the noise.  

The new impostor role is called Phantom. It allows the imposter to become invisible for a short period of time and appear like a ghost on the screen. The character can escape easily after eliminating a crewmate without being noticed.
