Last Chance to get Plague Inc: The Cure for free!



In March 2020, we donated $250,000 to the WHO and CEPI to help fight COVID-19. At the same time, we saw tens of millions of players use Plague Inc. to try and help understand more about pandemics. So, with the help of world health experts from all over the world including the WHO, CEPI and GOARN, we set out to make Plague Inc: The Cure - our biggest expansion ever which lets players simulate a global disease response.

The Cure was released in November 2020 and in order to make sure that as many people as possible were able to learn from it - we said that the expansion would be free for all Plague Inc. players until COVID-19 is under control.

Now, almost two years later, following an incredible vaccination effort, governments around the world have switched their focus to managing and controlling COVID-19 - allowing people to start moving back to normality.

Therefore, Im very pleased to say that Plague Inc: The Cure will stop being free (feels strange saying this!) on the 1st July.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1472780/Plague_Inc_The_Cure/

Thank you to all the tens of millions of people who have played it so far - we are proud to have been able to do our bit to help everyone understand and fight the pandemics. We have lots of plans for more expansions and game content - both for Plague Inc and Plague Inc: The Cure so get ready!

James

[h2]FAQ[/h2]

[h3]So what's happening?[/h3]
When it stops being free - if you want to play Plague Inc: The Cure, you will need the Plague Inc: The Cure DLC on Steam, Xbox, Playstation or Switch.

[h3]I already own the DLC on Steam, Xbox, Playstation or Switch. Do I need to buy it again?[/h3]
Steam and console players who already own the DLC will get to keep the DLC free of charge.

[h3]I own Plague Inc. on multiple platforms - do I need to purchase The Cure DLC multiple times? [/h3]
Apple, Google, Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo are separate platforms. Purchases can not be transferred between them Im afraid.

[h3]Why are you charging for it? [/h3]
Plague Inc: The Cure was our biggest expansion ever. It is practically a whole new game within Plague Inc.. It was only free initially because we wanted to help inform people and we didnt feel comfortable selling it during a global pandemic. We appreciate everyone enjoyed the trial but it is important for us to charge for content so development of future projects can be supported. Hope you understand!

[h3]But I didn't get to play it for free![/h3]
Its free until the 1st July so now is your chance. We wanted to give everyone enough notice to be able to give it a try now. Also - if you get it on Steam and console whilst it is free, you will own it forever!

Plague Inc. is 10 Years old!

I can't believe it, Plague Inc. is 10 years old and still going strong!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/246620/Plague_Inc_Evolved/

Its crazy looking back on myself in 2012 - Id never made a video game before and was making Plague Inc. as a hobby (with Mario doing the programming). Within hours of release, things were going well and after a week it was clear that the game was a big success, however, I had no idea how much the game would change both my life - and (in a much smaller way) 180 million other people around the world!

Today Plague Inc. is one of the best selling mobile games ever. Im particularly proud of being invited to talk at the CDC, winning an award from the Queen and helping to support the World Health Organisation in 2020.

It's truly been a pleasure to bring this game into the world and continually update it over the years, and to see so many players enjoy the work we did!

Thanks to everyone who has played, supported or worked on Plague Inc. over the years, I couldnt have done it without you!

I will be doing a Reddit AMA at 2pm EST, right here if you want to ask me anything!
In the meantime, feast your eyes on 10 years of analytics to find out what the most popular disease names of all time are, how many virtual people have been infected in-game and more.

World Health Organisation Plays Plague Inc: The Cure

Ndemic Creations are proud to announce that the World Health Organisation are using the globally popular video game Plague Inc: The Cure to help players stay safe, recognise misinformation and understand the importance of vaccination during COVID-19 pandemic.

[previewyoutube=S2-V5LGcmvw;full][/previewyoutube]

A key part of this collaboration is a video where WHO and GOARN experts play through Plague Inc: The Cure alongside the games creators and compare it with public health management in real-life scenarios.

The experts are put to the test as they try to save the world by balancing public health measures, research and development, and social and economic factors in order to keep the disease under control, all while maintaining public trust. The game holds a mirror to nations everywhere, emphasizing the importance of vaccine research, manufacturing and distribution to mitigate outbreaks, as well as the need for global cooperation to accelerate development.

The video also showcases WHO COVID-19 safety messaging and prevention tips for players to take offline and use in their daily lives.

Plague Inc: The Cure coming soon to PC

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.
Learn more at https://www.cepi.net/plagueinc

We'll be sharing more closer to the release!

Stay healthy,

Featured Scenarios August 2020



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!
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2050543873

[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.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1740013296

[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.

Sneak Peak: The next big update for Plague Inc.

, 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.

Plague Inc. Gives a Quarter of a Million Dollars to Fight COVID-19

Since the novel coronavirus outbreak was first detected we have been working very hard to support global response efforts to the crisis and keep Plague Inc. players informed on the developing situation.


Financial support to fight COVID-19

On behalf of all players of Plague Inc. weve made a $250,000 donation split between the Coalition of Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) and the World Health Organisations COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund.

Eight years ago, I never imagined the real world would come to resemble a game of Plague Inc. or that so many players would be using Plague Inc. to help them get through an actual pandemic, said James Vaughan, creator of Plague Inc. We are proud to be able to help support the vital work of the WHO and CEPI as they work towards finding a vaccine for COVID-19.

We are delighted that Ndemic Creations have so generously contributed to our crucial vaccine development work, especially as we tackle the unprecedented challenge of COVID-19, said Dr Richard Hatchett, CEO of CEPI. Games have an important role in raising awareness of the challenges the world is currently facing. Only through a concerted, global responsewith the private sector working together with Governments and philanthropies, pooling resources and expertisecan we hope to stop such emerging epidemic threats.

In this unprecedented pandemic with unprecedented needs, global cooperation is more important than ever, said Elizabeth Cousens, President & CEO of the UN Foundation. I am so thankful to Ndemic Creations contribution to the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund. Their donation will support the World Health Organizations lifesaving work.

To further support the hard work these organisations are doing, anyone can now donate to the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund. We will soon be promoting the response fund directly in game for players who may want to offer their financial support to the WHO.



Major new Plague Inc. update

When arranging our donations with the WHO and CEPI, we were repeatedly asked if we could make a game which let the player work to stop an outbreak. Therefore, as well as providing financial support, we are accelerating work on a new Plague Inc. game mode which lets players save the world from a deadly disease outbreak.

Players will have to balance managing disease progression and boosting healthcare systems as well as controlling real-world actions such as triaging, quarantining, social distancing and closing of public services. We are developing this game mode with the help of experts from the World Health Organisation, the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network and more.

The new update will be free for all players during the pandemic and we will share more information as soon as we can.



Look after yourselves, your families and everyone else.

Everyone at Ndemic Creations



For anyone interested in finding out more about how to protect yourself and help stop the spread of COVID-19, the WHO website is a great place to start.



About the Solidarity Response Fund:

The COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund will give individuals, companies, and philanthropies alike the ability to directly support the World Health Organizations and partners efforts to track and understand the spread of the virus; to ensure patients get the care they need and frontline workers get essential supplies and information; and to accelerate efforts to develop vaccines, tests, and treatments.

About CEPI:

CEPI is an innovative partnership between public, private, philanthropic, and civil organisations, launched at Davos in 2017, to develop vaccines to stop future epidemics. CEPI has reached over US$750 million of its $1 billion funding target. CEPIs priority diseases include Ebola virus, Lassa virus, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus, Nipah virus, Rift Valley Fever and Chikungunya virus. CEPI also invests in platform technologies that can be used for rapid vaccine and immunoprophylactic development against unknown pathogens (ie, Disease X). To date, CEPI has committed to investing over $480 million in vaccine and platform development.

Plague Inc. banned in China

We have some very sad news to share with our China based players. Yesterday evening, we were informed that Plague Inc. includes content that is illegal in China as determined by the Cyberspace Administration of China and was being removed from the Steam ( as well as the China App Store). This situation is completely out of our control.

Plague Inc. is a huge critical and commercial success. Eight years old and with over 130 million players, its the #1 strategy/simulation (mobile) game worldwide and has been the most popular (mobile) paid game in China for many years. Plague Inc. stands out as an intelligent and sophisticated simulation that encourages players to think and learn more about serious public health issues. We have a huge amount of respect for our Chinese players and are devastated that they are no longer able to access and play Plague Inc.

Its not clear to us if this removal is linked to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak that China is facing. However, Plague Inc.s educational importance has been repeatedly recognised by organisations like the CDC and we are currently working with major global health organisations to determine how we can best support their efforts to contain and control COVID-19.

We are working very hard to try and find a way to get the game back in the hands of Chinese players - we dont want to give up on you - however, as a tiny independent games studio in the UK, the odds are stacked against us. Our immediate priority is to try and make contact with the Cyberspace Administration of China (www.cac.gov.cn) to understand their concerns and work with them to find a resolution.

Nothing is changing outside of mainland China: we will continue to support and update both Plague Inc. and our newest game Rebel Inc. on all platforms whilst also working hard to try and find a way to bring Plague Inc. back to players in China.

We will share more information about our efforts to support the fight against COVID-19 soon. You can find our statement on the current coronavirus outbreak here: https://www.ndemiccreations.com/en/news/172-statement-on-the-current-coronavirus-outbreak

    The Fake News update is out now!

    Were excited to share that our new Plague Inc. Fake News Scenario is now available to play on Plague Inc: Evolved!



    In the radically different Fake News scenario, players can create their very own Fake News story and deceive the world using modern tools and psychological tricks. From wild conspiracy theories to election campaign mudslinging, we now live in a post-fact world where falsehoods and misinformation can spread like a disease...

    Just like a deadly pandemic, the spread of misinformation is a huge threat to our society, said Plague Inc. creator James Vaughan.

    When designing this new update for Plague Inc., it was scary how many of our infection algorithms translated perfectly to the world of false facts, fake news and bad information. Full Fact are a hugely powerful resource that everyone should use to make sure they really know what is going on.

    In order to make the Fake News scenario as realistic as possible, Ndemic has partnered with UK fact checking charity Full Fact, and has also received help from other international fact checkers, such as Politifact in the US.

    Partly based on their experiences, the scenario is a heightened view into the extremes of misinformation and the serious consequences it can have for our democracies, health and society.

    Full Fact exists to fight the causes and consequences of bad information, said Will Moy, Chief Executive of Full Fact.

    We know from experience the harm it can do to lives and communities, whether undermining trust in our democracy or putting our health at risk.

    The Fake News update in Plague Inc. will reach millions more people, helping them to understand the real threat that bad information poses.

    Players can then join the fight against bad information for real. Full Fact is an independent, impartial charity, and we rely on the support of thousands of individuals across the country to stand up for good information and change public debate for the better.

    Can you deceive the world?

    Seasons Greetings, Sickening Sidekicks!

    Are you feeling feverishly festive yet? We certainly are! After an extremely busy month here at Office Zero, were particularly excited to deck the halls, be merry and eat copious volumes of carbohydrates.

    Weve released 7 updates for Rebel Inc: Escalation since it arrived on Steam in October, and finished sending out Kickstarter copies of Plague Inc: Armageddon, our first board game expansion. If idle hands do the devils work, then weve definitely earned a VIP ride straight to heaven. In a car with cup holders. And an aux cord.

    That said, our busy schedule only made looking through this months most popular scenarios extra enjoyable. Exploring your scintillating scenarios has, as it always does, given us a grim satisfaction. The kind you feel when driving past a car on fire: youve got places to be, people to see, and yet, you cant help but take a long moment to gawk. Your scenarios are often akin to a vehicle ablaze.

    So slow down, roll down the window and take a moment to smell the burning petrol. Here are this weeks featured scenarios!

    Systemic Invasion Virus by lojotracey
    by It's all fiction!
    The Old Ones Arises by Valndrisa

    Though each of your contributions is impressive, we want to give a special shout out to CTB-Locky who managed to get on the list twice this month- for scenarios over two years old! If longevity is the key to success, then youre technically more successful than 81.4%* of the one-minute-wonder celebrities that occupy our news-stands and televisions today.

    Armageddon is coming to Plague Inc: The Board Game!

    Exciting news - the first expansion for Plague Inc: The Board Game has been successfully Kickstarted! Armageddon is coming!



    Plague Inc: Armageddon is the first major expansion for the critically acclaimed Plague Inc: The Board Game. In it you can infect the world with two radically different disease types (Bioweapon and Fungus), use powerful game-changing genes, deal with Brexit Britain and a whole lot more.

    Get ready to laugh as global vaccination rates drop, cry as your friend evolves a particularly lethal strain of athlete's foot and cheer as your bioweapon devastates entire continents in a single turn!

    Armageddon takes Plague Inc. to the next level, supporting new play styles, expanding strategic choices as well as adding more variety to an already extremely replayable game. It also lets you play with an extra player!

    For all the details on Plague Inc: Armageddon, including what comes in the box, and how the new disease types work, check out the Kickstarter page here.

    And if you want to get involved - you can pre-order it now here!

    Popular Scenarios March 2019



    Hi Pathogenic Pals!

    They say that the eyes are a window to the soul. Well, judging by the proliferation of dubious anime trappings, memes and videogame-themed zombie apocalypses, we dont really want to know what your Plague Inc. Scenarios are a window to.

    Oh, who are we kidding, yes we do.

    Each month we stare lovingly into the abyss (AKA the internet) in order to discern the top ten most popular Plague Inc. Custom Scenarios from the last 30 days. Take a deep breath, load up the game and prepare yourself for this month's infectious selection:

    times 1000000 by Cheesy bo1
    Resident Evil's t-Virus by Gyde
    The HARRAN Virus by Gyde
    Resident Evil: Umbrella Corp. by yutterh
    Ultimate Bio-Weapon by GDmitch

    Congratulations, as always, to all the creators listed above!

    Reckon youve got what it takes to craft your very own Plague Inc. Custom Scenario? Or perhaps youve been inspired by the above offerings? Well then maybe you could see your own creations plucked from obscurity and venerated by all. All you need to do is open up Plague Inc: Evolved and give the Scenario Creator a whirl. Get building and show us what youve got!

    In the meantime, stay healthy everyone, and see you next month!

    We hope youve had a smooth landing in 2019 through a constructive January.

    Hi Ailing Acolytes!

    Welcome to our end-of-year Popular Scenarios blog post blowout! Ah, it feels good to reach the end of 2018, doesnt it? You can almost smell the promise of the new year on the horizon. Well... its either that or everythings on fire over there. Were sure its fine.

    Regular readers of this blog will know how it all works by now. Each month we construct an obligingly hilarious introduction [sure you do, Matt - James], then we pluck the latest and greatest Custom Scenarios out of the ether to place before you in one easily digestible list.

    This month we wanted to do something a bit special to celebrate a full year of fantastic player-created content. Weve gone through the last 12 months worth of blog posts and pulled together an uber list, featuring the weirdest, funniest and, of course, most popular player created scenarios from 2018.

    The weather outside might be frightful, but the following collection of scenarios is delightful:

    Cult of Nyarlathotep by theoxis
    Cannibal Plague by Redbaron
    Reality Drift by here comes the money
    Y.H.W.H. by vadrigaar
    Interstellar Travelers 1 by BioActiveSteve

    Congratulations to all the above creators, and remember: if you have a great idea for a cool new Plague Inc. scenario, you too could have your name among them! Just boot up the game and head to the Scenario Creator to give it a go.

    Have healthy holidays all!

    Matt

    P.S.
    Apologies that the Popular Scenarios Update blog is slightly later this month. We have a very good excuse! Weve been hard at work releasing a brand new game for iOS, Rebel Inc.

    Let us know what you think, and if you would like to see the game come to PC in the future. You can read all about our plans for the game over on our full FAQ here.

    Shadow Plague says Happy Halloween!



    Ah, yes, Halloween - its the favourite time of year for fans of blood sucking, neck biting and (in some circles) bat being. But what does your average vampire do when theyre not trick or treating or picking the garlic cloves out of their risottos? Well wed wager they might just be dabbling in Shadow Plague, the most realistic depiction of a worldwide vampire infestation available.

    In this vamp-centric Plague Inc. game mode you too can prepare for the night walker apocalypse via the ultimate simulation. Learn how to:


    • Consume humanity - Feed carefully to grow in power and transform into a monstrous bat to strategically set up lairs and shadow portals.
    • Emerge from the Shadows - Create slaves to worship your vampire and use Blood Rage to defeat the Templar who hunt your vampire as well as the WHO who seek to eradicate your pathogen.
    • Cover the world in darkness - Master unique gameplay mechanics and strategies to help your vampire rule the world!


    Plague Inc: Evolved is currently available at a special Halloween sale price, so now might just be the best time of year to sink your teeth into Shadow Plague.

    Stay healthy, and Happy Halloween from all of us at Office Zero!

    Popular Scenarios Update October 2018



    Hi pernicious pals!

    Some people say that the best way to prepare for the end of the world is to build a bunker in your back garden. Others suggest stocking up on canned goods. Yet more cultivate arsenals of cricket bats and hockey sticks. But there’s a much better way to get a handle on the various diverse ways humanity could pop its 15307819144 collective clogs*.

    I mean, who of us can honestly say that we would know what to do if Armageddon via a fictional hybrid turtle/princess character birthed from the internet came to pass? What would you do if you were transported to an alternate history conceived in an infamous WWII grand strategy game’s mod? What happens when a purple-clad, seven foot tall, anti-plumber finally gets his time in the spotlight?

    Well it’s a good job there are plenty of Plague Inc. creators out there ready, willing, and able to offer up their wisdom in these matters. Play through the below ten scenarios, the most popular from the last 30 days, to get a real end-times education.

    Kaiserreich by Sakura Da Familia
    Waluigi's Rage by Quewueu
    The Last of Plagues by MKB0i
    Fortnite and our FINAL:HOUR by voltron106
    Bowsette by Tom Cat
    APEX: Nuclear Alert Zero by Атомный Говномёт
    Joy by Grays
    Times 100? by LycanBoy Gamdom.com
    Masks We Wear by originalsparkstar
    Medieval Conquer by Xova

    Congratulations to all of the creators listed above!

    For the uninitiated, we gather up the ten most popular scenarios created by players in the Plague Inc. Scenario Creator every month for you to play through. Do you have an idea for a scenario that’s just waiting to burst out? Then get creating yourself! The Scenario Creator is free for all owners of Plague Inc: Evolved - just launch the game, select it from the main menu, and get started.

    You never know, it might be your bizarre brain splurges on our monthly popularity pedestal next time around.

    Until then, stay healthy,

    Matt

    Popular Scenarios Update September 2018



    Greetings Ailing Acolytes!

    That’s it folks. Summer is officially over. It’s time to throw your sun hats and flip-flops into a dusty cupboard for another nine months and knuckle down for the long haul. In our general location (the UK) that means grey skies, tepid rain, and more grim-looking clouds than a JRPG cosplayer meet-up.

    But don’t cry for us, dear Plague Inc. players. This just means more time to spend indoors playing through the hundreds of custom scenarios you craft on a monthly basis. Scenarios such as the ten below, which we’ve plucked from the plethora on offer as the most popular from the last four weeks. From psychological horror to infectious duct tape (?) there’s something here for everyone.

    Heart of Darkness by A Beautiful Duwang.
    The Sleeper by A Beautiful Duwang.
    Enslaving Parasite by Stache & Hat
    电子海洛因 by 恐惧教主
    The Dollar Flu by Grays
    The Coven by SkymeRate
    Flex Tape Mod by DylanDino2017
    インフルエンザ by tshtga
    Sky Terror by thomas.watts
    Uh OH SPAGHETTIO'S by Nononym

    Congratulations, as always, to everyone featured above. And to everyone else: be sure to give these a play through and let the creators know if you enjoy their work. Compliments are like the best Plague Inc. diseases - they work best when passed around freely!

    We’ll be back again next month with another selection of popular scenarios to try out. If you can’t wait until then, or if you’re sat there thinking ‘I can do better than that!’, then put your disease where your mouth is. Figuratively.

    You can grab the Scenario Creator free with Plague Inc: Evolved. Just run the game, select it from the main menu and get creating. Who knows, maybe it’ll be your scenario that tops the popular charts next month.

    Until then: stay healthy!

    We’re been looking forward to you lot getting your hands on these scenarios, and can't wait to see what witty board game combinations you can think up. So get stuck in and good luck infecting the world’s table tops!

    Popular Scenarios Update July 2018



    Hello microbial mates!

    Spain’s on the ropes. Argentina’s been knocked out. Germany’s no longer the European force it once was. No we’re not talking about the World Cup: we’ve just been playing through a bunch of player-created scenarios and casually wiping out humanity. It turns out you don’t have to wait for four years to pass to see the world’s footballing superpowers (and England*) fall to their knees - just pick a Plague Inc. scenario and get stuck in.

    Each month we make the delightful task of scouring the thousands of player-made custom scenarios a bit easier for you all, by picking out the ten most popular and putting them up on a celebratory pedestal. No actual trophies get handed out, just supreme respect and digital high fives all round. This month with added Cat-based apocalypses, memes, and bunnies.

    Bunny Love by Lucky Bunny
    Star Wars by Cringe Lord Cronan
    Cat Apocalypse by Jaggwagg
    SCP-016 by Hellsverg
    Plague Zero by Gino
    Infinity War by Zer0sion
    Virus-X by HidanTsuda
    Too Many People by Beowulf197
    Fourth Wall Breach by Luigicat11
    The Meme Virus by knight.k.j.88

    Congrats to everyone above and to everyone else: enjoy giving these a play through and remember to leave feedback for the creators if you enjoyed their work.

    Do you feel like you could do even better though? Why not give it a go in the Plague Inc: Evolved Scenario Creator? It comes free with the game, just boot it up, dive in and get creating. Who knows, maybe you’ll be the one receiving our digital high-fives next month?

    In the meantime, stay healthy!

    Matt

    Hello Diseased Devotees!

    Welcome one, welcome all to our monthly Popular Scenarios party! Let us take your coat, make yourself at home, and help yourself to the buffet of delightful treats that the Plague Inc. player community has prepared for you.

    We may have inadvertently made the following ten custom scenarios sound delicious with that buffet analogy just now, but upon closer inspection perhaps comparing them to food isn’t such a good idea. From gross out cannibal horrors to… *sigh*... tide pods… everything on the below list should be played - but not actually consumed!

    SCP-1104 "Nose Crab" by Papa Walrus
    Cold hands by Cold Hands
    Cannibal Plague by Redbaron
    Inferi Redivivus (The Flood) by Papa Walrus
    Tide Pod Challenge by SovietSalesman44
    Steamed Hams by miniwolfen
    Love bug by eric
    The World Eater by MilkyFire
    Overpopulation V2 by Masterofdoors
    Viroid by Jordan_Masters

    Good job to all of the excellent creators who’ve spent time crafting these scenarios for us all to play through. Do you think you’ve got what it takes to infect the world with your own Plague Inc. Custom Scenario idea? Then get the game up and running and jump into the Scenario Creator! We can’t wait to see what you cook up! ;)

    Until next month, stay healthy!

    We’ve gathered the most played scenarios created by intrepid creators over the last 30 odd days into a handy list below, ready for you to jump in and get a-playing. From cultish Cthulhu shenanigans to lizard monsters - there’s something here for everyone!

    Plague Inc: Evolved Mutation 15 - The Mad Cow Disease Update is here!



    The next update to Plague Inc: Evolved is now live! With this mutation comes three brand new official scenarios, each one bringing fresh challenges for Plague Inc. players to delve into.

    Mad Cow Disease

    Panic over BSE almost shut down the beef industry in the 1990s. Imports were banned and burgers were off the menu until humanity got things under control. Recently though, unforeseen protein folding has resulted in a new variant of the prion - putting the whole food chain at risk. Is now the time to go vegetarian?

    While making this scenario we had to really think hard about what the world would look like if there was a re-emergence of the infamous 1990s outbreak. We naturally took the research and ran with it, though, so expect a few surprises!

    Where Is Everyone?

    Almost everybody in the world has mysteriously vanished and nobody knows why. The Rapture? Mass abductions? Spontaneous combustion? Who knows?! Luckily though, the few thousand people left behind are carrying on as normal. How will your outbreak spread when there are so few people left to infect?

    We were surprised at how tricky this scenario is to win. With fewer people around it’s much easier to spot a disease as it spreads throughout the population.

    Flight Club

    Huge leaps in aviation technology have seen humanity unlock the true potential of suborbital flight on a commercial basis. In this future world you can get from London to Sydney in two hours for a fraction of the cost, and every country in the world has an airport. How many air miles can you get?

    Does the idea of Greenland getting a major airport excite you? If so this is the scenario for you!



    For those interested in the minutiae, here's the full change log:

    ***

    - Added 3 new Official Scenarios
    - Added offline Custom Scenario play
    - Added 4 new achievements
    - Updated text and translations
    - Fixed issue: Scenario Creator Event Lab sometimes not saving edited country names
    - Fixed issue: Scenario Creator not saving/resetting variables in government actions
    - Fixed issue: Scenario searching filter now uses variables
    - Fixed issue: Scenario Creator gov actions showing as zero

    ***

    Now get spreading the new infections and be sure to share your inspired new plague names with us over on Twitter and Facebook!

    Enjoy and stay healthy,

    Matt

    Devblog - Inside Shadow Plague’s vampiric soundtrack



    Hi virulent vamps!

    Ever wondered how the music behind Plague Inc.’s Shadow Plague was put together? Do you find yourself pondering what dark recesses we have to plumb to get the tone just right? Or maybe you’re wondering what all that ominous chanting is really all about? Meet Marius Masalar, the musician behind the music of the most recent expansion’s tunes.


    Hi Marius! To start us off, what were your initial aims as work began on the Shadow Plague update? How was it different to other Plague Inc. tracks you've worked on?

    The Shadow Plague was a special one for me… I’m from Romania - literally born in Transylvania - so I remember laughing when we first started discussing this update. Talk about right up my alley!

    A lot of the planning around this cue centred on finding the right mix between the gothic feel of vampire lore and the more modern edge of the existing Plague Inc. music. My goal was to find interesting ways to incorporate some of the classic “vampire” instrumentation (the choir, the church organ, etc.) without falling into stereotypes or deviating from the musical language we’d established for the game up to this point.



    Can you take us through your songwriting process? How did you have to iterate on the piece to make sure it was the perfect fit for the new expansion?


    Sometimes I find that giving myself a bit of space is important. If you dive in head-first, you run the risk of taking the obvious approach rather than the best one. For projects without tough deadlines, I like to set aside some low-pressure time near the beginning of the process to let the concept percolate before I sit down to write.

    By the time I started sketching, I had a clear theme in mind, and a good idea of how I wanted to establish the mood for this plague type. The very first work-in-progress sketch I submitted was remarkably close to where we ended up.

    From that initial sketch, most of the back-and-forth involved finessing the pacing and structure. It’s a tricky aspect of game music, because even though Plague, Inc. isn’t frantically paced, a looping cue has to sound appropriate not only for the beginning of a play session, but also the end where tension is running high.

    Fun fact: all the various vampire noises - the growls, the hissing, the roars - were recorded by yours truly. By the end of it, my neighbours were very concerned and I had entirely lost my voice!



    Is working on music for Plague Inc. different than working on music for other games?


    For most projects, I get a call and write the entire score from start to finish. With Plague, Inc., the core music was written at one point in time, and then each new expansion brings with it an opportunity for new music. I get to come back to the project with a fresh outlook and a new theme to immerse myself in. Each cue brings new challenges, and we often experiment with different writing and implementation techniques in an effort to keep things interesting.

    It’s a refreshing and deeply inspiring way to work and I’m always profoundly grateful to be involved.


    Finally, many fans have asked, what are the vocals in the song actually saying?


    All I’ll say is that it’s part of an old incantation… and I don’t recommend looking up the rest.


    A full visual layout of the Nox Eternis track.

    Evolution 20 - Multiplayer balance update



    Hey everyone

    We have just released a new multiplayer balance update for Plague Inc: Evolved which addresses some of the feedback we have been getting from players. Fans of viruses and parasite will be particularly excited by this!



    • Parasite tweak - Parasitic DNA theft buffed - parasite now steals 45% of opponent's DNA, up from 40%. Remember, your severity will increase as your opponent evolves so it won't be long before humans are out to cure you!
    • Virus tweak - We found that the virus was devolving too often to get much use in competitive play. We have reduced the chance of devolving to 12% (from 14%) and also made it 5% harder to cure
    • Bioweapon tweak - Bioweapon continues to be one of the more popular disease types in VS mode - we are making it 5% easier to cure to prevent it becoming too dominant.
    • Benign Mimic tweak - One of the most popular active abilities in VS mode - we are making a few changes to its duration and impact to ensure that other strategies have enough room to breathe. Will keep an eye on this and see if more action is needed.



    We are hard at work on a new disease type for Plague Inc. at the moment - will share more information on it soon!

    Also - it is still possible to make a late pledge for Plague Inc: The Board Game here: https://plague-inc.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders

    Full Change Log:

    MP VS mode balance changes

    • Bioweapon ~5% easier to cure
    • Virus ~5% harder to cure
    • Virus devolve chance now reduced to 12% from 14%
    • Parasite now steals 45% of DNA, up from 40%
    • Benign Mimic lasts 5 days longer
    • Benign Mimic starts slower and increases in strength over time
    • Daily cure impact of an individual benign mimic now capped (at ~5% of total cure requirement)
    • If immune shock used in a country without opponent - has lesser impact on infectivity

    Bug fix

    • Fixed Edge case on publish for Scenario Creator
    • Minor Load/Save Fix
    • Fix for edge case of unlocking Official Scenarios

    Evolution 18 - Parasite, Fungus and Steam Controller come out to play!



    Even though Plague Inc: Evolved has left Early Access, it continues to evolve and add new, exciting gameplay! With this evolution we have 2 new multiplayer disease types for you - Fungus and Parasite - as well as several new Multiplayer genes. On top of this, we have also added Steam controller support, once again increasing the different ways to play Plague Inc :)

    Here is a summary of the main features:


    • Fungus Multiplayer disease type - As ever, the fungus will find it hard to travel long distances, even by unscheduled flight. However the regular spores will give you a brand new mechanism to help you spread around the globe. This fungus is much happier in humid climates too...
    • Parasite Multiplayer disease type - The Parasite has a parasitic(!) approach to DNA collection, with the ability to harvest DNA from your opponent's corpses. However, your severity will increase as your opponent evolves so it won't be long before humans are out to cure you.
    • Steam Controller Support - We have now added the official Ndemic-designed Steam controller support. Our configuration ensures that you can play Plague Inc: Evolved as happily with the Steam controller as you can with mouse and keyboard!
    • New Multiplayer Genes - 5 new Multiplayer genes will allow you to customise your plague to suit your strategies even more. Think you can find their starting country quickly? Use the "Search and Destroy" gene! Want to mutate Transmissions and Abilities? Use the "Base Hydration" gene! Want more detail about where your opponent is? Use the "Peekaboo" gene! But remember, as ever, all these genes have a downside...


    We'll have more updates to come over the next few months. We have more Multiplayer disease types in the pipeline, as well as some single player ones as well. We've also got plans for improvements to the Scenario Creator, as well as an engine upgrade (which will allow us to keep releasing new content in the future). Basically, there's still much more to come from Plague Inc: Evolved, so do keep an eye out ;)



    Full Change Log:
    New Additions

    • New Multiplayer Disease Types - Fungus and Parasite!
    • 5 brand new genes for use in Multiplayer
    • Steam Controller compatibility added. Works in every game mode!

    Tweaks

    • Improvements to the Benign Mimic ability in VS mode - massively increasing its effectiveness if placed in the same country repeatedly and making it easier to get a foothold in a benign mimiced country
    • Leaderboards and statistics tweaks
    • New DLLs added, to resolve the issue where a handful of users were having difficulties launching the game
    • Expanded hit box on smaller islands for ease of selection
    • Minor text and graphical tweaks

    Fixes

    • Z-Com spawn issue fixed
    • Worm Food and Assuming Direct Control achievements should be working correctly now

    Plague Inc: Evolved Version 1.0 is out now!



    Can you infect the world? Global best-selling strategy game Plague Inc: Evolved is officially launching on Steam for PC, Mac and Linux with the release of Version 1.0 and the addition of the hugely anticipated Co-Op mode.

    Plague Inc: Evolved is a unique mix of high strategy and terrifyingly realistic simulation. Your pathogen has just infected 'Patient Zero' - now you must bring about the end of human history by evolving a deadly, global Plague whilst adapting against everything humanity can do to defend itself.

    Over 65 million players have been infected by Plague Inc. already. Now, Plague Inc: Evolved combines the original critically acclaimed gameplay with significant, all-new features for PC including multiplayer, user-generated content support, improved graphics and lots more.



    • 10 Different Disease Types – Master every pathogen; from bacteria to bio-weapons and mind control to zombies, end humanity by any means possible – different diseases will need radically different approaches.
    • 20 Unique Scenarios – Adapt your strategy; scenarios create further challenges for your pandemic – how will you handle a new strain of Swine Flu, or infect a world in Ice Age?
    • Hyper-Realistic World – Strategize in the real world; advanced AI and use of real-world data and events make Plague Inc: Evolved a highly authentic simulation of a world-ending pathogen. Even the CDC likes it!
    • Competitive Multiplayer - The world is unlucky enough to be infected with two plagues, but how will you win the battle for genetic dominance against your opponent? Players get all new evolutions, abilities and genes to help them fight for global control and destroy their opponent!
    • Co-Operative Mode - Two different diseases team up to infect and destroy the world together but Humanity has new tricks up its sleeve to fight back! Work closely with your partner and use brand-new genes, traits and strategies to smash cure labs all over the world before they eradicate you.
    • Contagious Content Creator - Hit the lab and develop your own custom scenarios - creating new plague types, worlds and in-game events. Sophisticated tools support user-generated content to let players bring their deadliest ideas to life and share them on Steam Workshop. With over 10,000 custom scenarios already released - there is always something new to infect!
    • Blinding Graphics - Full 3D disease models take you closer to your plague than ever before, city-cams show humanity's struggle at street level, and the body scanner highlights the full effect of your mutations, organ by organ.
    • Deadly Data - Geek out with stats and graphs; monitor infection and death levels, track government reactions and cure efforts, then review your plague's success (or failure!) with full game replays.
    • And much more... - Including speed runs, Mega-Brutal difficulty and genetic modification... Plus loads of new disease types and scenarios in future (free!) updates.



    Overview of Latest Update:

    Evolution 18 adds Co-Operative Multiplayer - the final major gameplay mode that players have been waiting for! This completely reinvents Plague Inc: Evolved, with brand new disease traits, genes, loadouts and unlock paths exclusive to Co-Op - it’s like playing an entirely new game! With multiple diseases ravaging the world, humanity won’t know what’s hit it - single player was just the start of the outbreak…
    The update also adds Multiplayer AI, advanced statistic tracking, a Double Strain cheat and lots of other important features and optimisations. Read more about the update here



    Future Development Plans:

    Plague Inc: Evolved has been a huge Early Access success story - thanks so much to the 800,000+ players who have joined us for this journey. When we first announced the game’s release in Early Access 2 years ago, we had a clear list of features that we intended to bring to the game and I’m proud to say that we’ve achieved all of them (along with lots of other cool things that were requested by players!).

    While this is the end of Early Access, we still have plenty more updates to come for Plague Inc: Evolved. New modes, cheats, scenarios and official disease types are in development so watch this space :)

    Co-Op Multiplayer Mode Preview


    Version 1.0 of Plague Inc: Evolved is coming to Steam on February 18th (more info here)! As part of the game’s final update in Early Access, we’ll be launching the long-awaited Co-Operative Multiplayer mode. Here is a sneak preview of what you can expect to find in the update when it launches this Thursday:

    As soon as you start Co-Op mode, you’ll soon realise that this is a fully-formed expansion to the core Plague Inc: Evolved game with radical differences to single player. Two different diseases team up to infect and destroy the world together but Humanity has new tricks up its sleeve to fight back! Work closely with your partner and use brand-new genes, traits and strategies to smash cure labs all over the world before they eradicate you.



    It all begins with Patient Zero as you and your partner select where to start your plagues - will you choose to start on opposite sides of the world, with one player evolving a heat-resistant plague and the other aiming to wipe out wealthy countries? Or will you stay close together in an attempt to minimise the chances of being spotted too soon?

    The disease traits have been fully redesigned and there are a whole host of new Active Abilities to use to help your disease along, such as Unscheduled Flight, and location-specific Infection and Lethality Boosts. Will you help your partner avoid the cure - even if it weakens you? Can you resist the temptation to steal some of their infectivity for yourself?

    With all these new abilities, and two diseases running rampant across the globe, it’s no surprise that humanity is more vigilant than ever. Their most powerful weapon against the plague are highly responsive cure labs that focus on the disease they see as the bigger threat. Your disease will need to act aggressively - fighting to spread country-by-country basis as new labs pop up!



    On top of all this, there are multiple difficulty levels for Co-Op, brand new genes to unlock, Multiplayer AI to let you practice your builds, advanced statistic tracking, a Double Strain cheat and lots of other important features and optimisations. There are also a few special surprises for both singleplayer and multiplayer...



    Co-Op mode will be available with version 1.0 of Plague Inc: Evolved, coming to Steam for PC, Mac and Linux on February 18th.


    [ 2016-02-16 18:41:35 CET ] [ Original post ]

    Plague Inc: Evolved launch date announced - 18th February

    We are incredibly excited to announce that Plague Inc: Evolved will see its full release on Steam for PC, Mac and Linux next week on 18th February, with the launch of its final major evolution - Co-Op Mode!



    Plague Inc: Evolved has been in Early Access for almost two years now and has already been a huge success, with over 800,000 sales across all platforms. By the time we launch, 18 major Evolutions (updates) will have been released, with some of the highlights including competitive & co-operative multiplayer, a custom content creator (with almost 10,000 user-generated scenarios made so far!), three major new disease types and 20 scenarios.



    When we first announced the game’s release in Early Access, we had a clear list of features that we intended to bring to the game and I’m proud to say that we’ve achieved all of them (along with lots of other cool things that were requested by players!). Early Access has made the game stronger than we could ever have imagined, thanks to the invaluable community support we’ve received. From the wealth of incredible custom scenarios that have been made, to everyone that helped us populate our city-cams; our multiplayer beta testers and everybody that’s ever requested a feature or reported a bug, we couldn’t have done it without you!



    Evolution 18 will bring the game to version 1.0, adding the final major gameplay mode that players have been waiting for, Co-operative Multiplayer. Co-op brings an entirely new dimension to Plague Inc: Evolved, as players take the role of two different diseases which must work together to infect and destroy the world as a team. The update also adds Multiplayer AI, advanced statistic tracking, a Double Strain cheat and lots of other important features and optimisations.

    So far, over 40 quadrillion people* have been infected by players in Plague Inc: Evolved and people are just getting started! After launch, we will continue to add to the game, with new diseases, scenarios, genes and more, so keep an eye on our Twitter and Facebook pages to hear more.

    Keep infecting the world!

    * 40,224,866,097,135,818 and rising to be exact - a rather scary number!

    Looking for Co-Op Beta testers - sign up now

    Do you want to play Plague Inc: Evolved as a team with your friends? We are looking for beta testers to get involved to help us test both game balance and network performance for the upcoming Co-Op Multiplayer for Plague Inc: Evolved.

    About Co-Op Multiplayer in Plague Inc: Evolved

    In co-op, players team up to destroy the world, playing as two different diseases. It’s not as straightforward as it sounds though - humanity is prepared to fight against multiple diseases and they have a few new tricks up their sleeve! It’s essential to specialise your diseases and work as a team to infect the world.

    How to sign up to be a Beta Tester:

    Like with the competitive multiplayer beta, the co-op multiplayer beta test will be open to pairs of friends only. That means, in order to be considered for the beta, you must have a friend on your Steam friends list who will also be applying for the beta – so you have someone to play against. (After the beta, you will be able to play with random people as well as friends obviously!)


    Development screenshot - not final!

    Both you and your friend will both need to complete the application form, and mention each other during it.

    The application form will be open for the next 24 hours, and we’ll be hoping to get the first Beta out there to play over the weekend.

    To apply - please follow this link.

    If you don’t get accepted to the beta test, don’t worry as you’ll get to play co-op very soon when we leave Early Access!

    Looking forward to infecting some of you ;)

    Evolution 17 - New Bioweapon for Multiplayer and Tutorial added

    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)
    • Infectious Plague School added! New to the game or want to learn strategies for some of the more exotic disease types? The brand new tutorial has your back, teaching you the genetic strategies needed to infect the world!
    • Multiplayer leaderboards (still in beta) - See where you fit in the global multiplayer community




    Full change log

    • New MP VS disease type - Bioweapon
    • MP leaderboards added (still in beta)
    • Tutorial added
    • Chat functionality expanded to country select and end-game screens
    • New toggle-button on end screen mini-graph
    • New tooltip for VS. mode - time to cure
    • Added date into event pop ups
    • Updated community translations
    • Standardised notation for replays & evolution list (days)
    • Fixed land border icon bug
    • Fixed graph mismatches
    • Fixed shading for partial/fully infected countries on minimap
    • Changed chat mute icon


    Full focus now is on completion of the Co-Op multiplayer mode - we will be looking for beta testers soon so keep an eye on my twitter page https://twitter.com/NdemicCreations/.

    I hope to be able to share a launch date for V1.0 of the game (when we leave Early Access) soon :)

    Evolution 16 - Multiplayer VS update - The Cure Strikes Back!

    Multiplayer has become extremely popular in Plague Inc: Evolved with over 210,000 VS. games played since we released it in December. The Cure Strikes Back update is a major multiplayer focused update which adds new features and tweaks balance. The primary focus is to increase the threat posed by the cure when multiple diseases are infecting the world. This should enable multiple new strategies - especially for experienced players.



    Main features:

    • Cure Focus to multiplayer - if one disease is particularly concerning, then humans will switch over some research labs from the other disease to increase the cure research for the worst disease
    • Rich countries get even more concerned by diseases that are killing lots of people in other countries


    Balance tweaks:
    • Minor adjustments to starting DNA in various counties
    • Reduced population density in china slightly
    • Slightly increased severity of some symptoms: Gastric Ulceration, Acute Encephalitis, Meningitis, Internal Haemorrhaging, Fever, Dysentery
    • Slight increase to cost of Rodent Transmission and slight reduction to infectivity increase
    • Slight increase to impact of genetic hardening at both levels
    • Increased cost of Unscheduled Flight trait by 1 DNA
    • Humans may set up Global Research Hubs (government action)


    Other changes and bug fixes:
    • Wins / losses not added to stats if you play a private friends match (but you can still unlock things)
    • Added tooltips for chat box
    • Genetic exposure devolve bug fixed
    • Fix to 'black square' issue that some people were reporting


    We are also working on CO-OP multiplayer, the tutorial and fixing / polishing various things before releasing the game. We aim to leave Early Access in early 2016. Not long to go now :)

    Good luck infecting!

    P.S. You may remember that I conducted an experiment on the Plague Inc. community by infecting myself with a special multiplayer achievement which 'infects' anyone I played (who can then in turn infect other people). It has really spread - so far 3.5% of all players have been infected!

    Midweek Madness - Plague Inc: Evolved, 33% Off

    Save 33% on Plague Inc: Evolved during this week's Midweek Madness*!

    Plague Inc: Evolved is a unique mix of high strategy and terrifyingly realistic simulation. Your pathogen has just infected 'Patient Zero' - now you must bring about the end of human history by evolving a deadly, global Plague whilst adapting against everything humanity can do to defend itself.

    In the brand new VS. mode the world is unlucky enough to be infected by two deadly plagues that are battling for control of the world. Whoever infects the world first wins but you must also avoid being cured by humanity or prematurely eradicated by the other player!

    Multiplayer VS mode - Evolution 15 is out now!

    I'm really excited to announce that Competitive Multiplayer is now live in Plague Inc: Evolved! It is time to take your genetic strategy to a whole new level!

    In VS. mode the world is unlucky enough to be infected by two deadly plagues that are battling for control of the world. Whoever infects the world first wins but you must also avoid being cured by humanity or prematurely eradicated by the other player!



    There are many ways to become the ultimate plague. Will you spread slowly, stay under the radar and let humanity and your enemy battle it out, or be aggressive, fight the cure and use total organ failure to gather huge amounts of DNA? Or maybe you should focus all your efforts hunting down the other plague in order to wipe it out before it can spread at all. The genetic strategies are vast!

    Players get all new evolutions, abilities and genes to help them in their struggle for dominance, as well as slowing their opponent. Single player was just the start of the outbreak:


    • Unscheduled flight sends a plane full of infected people to a far off country
    • Immune shock overloads the immune system of people infected with both diseases - rapidly killing millions
    • Genetic Exposure lets you help humans develop a cure against your opponent.
    • And much more...


    We are also going to be experimenting on the Plague Inc. community by infecting me (the creator of the game) with a special Multiplayer achievement. Anyone that plays me will "catch" the achievement, and be able to spread it to others in turn. Keep an eye out for me (Ndemic James) in the Multiplayer lobby...

    Thanks to all our beta testers over the last few months. Everyone that has participated will get the "Beta Infection" Achievement which can also be transmitted to other players. Also, keep an eye out for the new Multiplayer disease types and genes ;)



    The update also includes lots of other features, including:

    • 5 New achievements (not just multiplayer)
    • Korean language added
    • New City Cam images
    • Lots of minor tweaks/fixes to the core game and Scenario Creator

    Full change log can be found on our forum.


    Now VS multiplayer is released - we will be working on COOP multiplayer and fixing / polishing various things before releasing the game and leaving Early Access in early 2016. Not long to go now :)

    James

    P.S. I can't wait to see people battling to genetically dominate each other. May the best plague win :P
