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 :)

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.

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.

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!

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 ;)

James
