Among Us Story: On Guard – Release on 02/17/2027 for Switch 2 Confirmed

TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents Among Us Story: On Guard – Release on 02/17/2027 for Switch 2 Confirmed.

The Among Us universe keeps growing – and for once, not just with a map update. The developers at Innersloth have now officially confirmed that Among Us Story: On Guard will be released on February 17, 2027 for the Nintendo Switch 2. At the same time, the official Among Us animated series has launched on Paramount+ – earlier than originally announced.

That sounds like a double strategy: dive in via the show first, then on February 17, 2027, get hands-on with the crewwork mechanics yourself. Here's a roundup of everything we know so far about the game, the series, and the trailer.

What is Among Us Story: On Guard?

Among Us Story: On Guard is a new entry in the Among Us Story series, which translates the familiar social-deduction formula into a narrative form. The official Innersloth site promotes the title as a story-driven expansion of the franchise, which according to Nintenderos was announced specifically for the Nintendo Switch 2.

The reveal took place at Summer Game Fest 2026, where Innersloth showed a first reveal trailer. Since then, an additional trailer has been released, showing gameplay scenes and the story focus in more detail.

The animated series on Paramount+ – earlier than planned

Alongside the game's release, the official Among Us animated series is running on Paramount+ – and ahead of its originally announced date. As Nintenderos reports, the development team had originally announced the series launch for the Summer Game Fest, but the series beat that appearance to it.

What that means for you: if you've only known the Among Us universe from your phone or PC so far, you're getting two new entry points right now – the series to watch and the game to play. So you can either kick back on the couch and dive in, or become a Crewmate or Impostor yourself on the Switch 2.

What this means for Switch 2 players

If you own a Nintendo Switch 2 or are thinking about picking one up, February 17, 2027 is a concrete date you can mark on your calendar. Until then, the Paramount+ series lets you test whether you like the Among Us franchise outside the game as much as on your phone.
