Plague Inc: Evolved News

Hello there,

We're very excited to announce that Plague Inc: The Cure is coming to Steam soon! The major new DLC is big enough to be a brand new game and will be completely free for all Plague Inc: Evolved players until COVID-19 is under control.

We are working really hard to get it finished and we'll be sharing the release date in the coming weeks.

[h2]What is Plague Inc: The Cure?[/h2]

Created with the help of world health and infectious disease experts from all over the world including the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness (CEPI), World Health Organisation (WHO) and Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN), Plague Inc: The Cure sees players balance social, economic and global health factors in order to keep the disease under control whilst also maintaining public trust.

We worked very closely with CEPI, an international coalition accelerating the development of vaccines for COVID-19 and other emerging infectious diseases to produce a compelling and accurate strategy game of pandemic response.

Richard Hatchett, The CEO of CEPI:
“From contact tracing to vaccine development and manufacturing, Plague Inc: The Cure encapsulates the complexities of a global pandemic response and highlights how crucial international collaboration is needed to address such a threat.”

We'll be sharing more closer to the release!

Hello there, Pathogenic Pals

We had a great time streaming at Steam Tabletop Festival the other day and it was great to chat along with everyone!

We talked about
- The real world and Plague Inc.
- The design of Plague Inc. and Plague Inc: Evolved
- How we created the Board Game
- Played through the Ultimate Board Game Scenario, with surprising results
- And ended with a deadly VS battle to decide which team member is greatest!

We had a lot of fun and hope to do more streaming in the future!

Hello there,

Let's cure those blues, save you from a world of sadness and destroy the pandemic of boredom...with some of the most recently popular Custom Scenarios on the Steam Workshop!

[h2]Roko's Basilisk by PDS314[/h2]
Roko's Basilisk is a thought experiment that proposes an all-powerful artificial intelligence from the future could retroactively punish those who did not help bring about its existence, including those who merely knew about the possible development of such a being.
Spooky.
Anyway, why not reduce your potential threat level to the AI by simulating the creation of a powerful AI in the world of Plague Inc. An excellent rejig of the Neurax Worm!

[h2]Koel: The Bombing Campaign by ☼☼☼Germs[/h2]
An incredibly impressive conversion of Plague Inc into a.. Bird Bombing Campaign?
Filled with unique characters, new gameplay and inventive tactics, this Scenario is well worth your time!

[h2]Yellow Fever by GDmitch[/h2]
Humanity has fought Yellow Fever off before, can you make it happen this time?
A hugely detailed and well-researched scenario with a lot of interesting traits to play around with.

[h2]Cold War: Bio Weapon by Pipo el Virgo and LeonSRC[/h2]
The year is 1962, Charles de Gaulle pulled out the french troops out of Algeria, leading to its independence. de Gaulle's intentions were to control Algeria no matter the cost.
As starting hooks go, it's hard to do better than that! Interact with a cold war world and spread a 60s themed Bio-Weapon from Algeria out to the rest of the world.

Be sure to give them a go!

As mentioned previously, we've been hard at work on a new mode for Plague Inc. where you save the world from a deadly disease outbreak. We hope it will help players understand the scale and complexity of dealing with COVID-19 as well as simulating the effectiveness of different responses.

Making it has been really tough but it is almost ready now so here is a sneak peak. Please note - as the update is still in active development, things will almost certainly change!


Can you Save the World?
In the new mode, you'll be playing as an international health organisation attempting to save the world from a deadly disease outbreak. In a realistic and powerful simulation inspired by real-world pandemic responses - how will you fight the disease?

Investigate: Keep a close eye out for outbreaks, track the spread of disease and try to find patient zero.

Control: Raise awareness to help the world through the crisis. Determine the best way to slow the disease and preserve your authority.

Quarantine: Lockdown countries and even entire continents! From borders to airports, be aggressive to ensure it doesn't leave infected areas. Be careful though - heavy handed responses without popular support will have significant consequences!

Research: Study the disease and work towards a vaccine. Decide how much time you have to test its safety and efficiency then deploy it to the world


When?
This is the biggest update Plague Inc. has ever had and we want to help as many people as possible understand the complex issues around COVID-19. Until a vaccine is found for COVID-19 or it ceases to be a global health emergency - the DLC will be completely free to download for all Plague Inc. players.

We will share more information with you as soon as we can.
