September 10 2024 - 9:00AM
Disguise, Inc., the costume division of leading toy and consumer
products manufacturer, JAKKS Pacific, Inc (NASDAQ:JAKK) today
announced a new agreement with Innersloth, for global costume
rights for Among Us, via Dual Wield Studio, the indie merchandising
company contracted to manage Innersloth’s consumer products
program.
Commencing in 2024, with first product planned to launch Fall
2025, Disguise takes on worldwide rights to design, market,
manufacture, and distribute costumes and costume accessories.
Disguise looks forward to working with Innersloth to bring this
game to life with costumes and accessories reflective of the game’s
unique characters and designs.
Developed by Innersloth, Among Us is a hit social deduction game
set in space that revolves around one simple hook: one or more
random players among your crew are intent on sabotaging the ship
and killing off the crew. Among Us rose to popularity in 2020 since
its release date in June of 2018 and, at its peak, saw 7% of the
entire planet playing the game. An animated show is also currently
in development at CBS Studios produced by Owen Dennis (Infinity
Train), with an all-star voice cast including Elijah Wood, Randall
Park, and Yvette Nicole Brown.
"The team at Disguise is thrilled to partner with Innersloth on
a new line of Among Us costumes and accessories set to launch next
fall," said Tara Cortner, President and GM of Disguise, Inc. "We
are excited to introduce the fanbase of this hot game to our line
of costumes and costume accessories."
Owned by JAKKS Pacific, Inc (NASDAQ:JAKK), Disguise has carved
out a strong foothold in the market for licensed video game
costumes both holding licenses for several large gaming brands.
Disguise’s Among Us line of Halloween costumes and accessories are
available online and at major retailers now.
