Hey everyone - Exciting times as development on Plague Inc: Evolved continues rapidly - we are very close to releasing the game from Early Access now! This update has something for everyone - a new multiplayer disease type, leaderboards, a tutorial and a whole host of polish / optimisations including a huge addition of new community translations.

Main Features

• DANGER - Bioweapon now available in the multiplayer roster. An exceptionally lethal pathogen - it kills everyone it touches and humans infected with other diseases are particularly susceptible to it. Presents some interesting strategic challenges as its lethality constantly increases as the game goes on. (thanks to forum member HighDarkTemplar for giving me some cool ideas about how to make it work)
