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!

In case you missed it - there has been a devastating plague rampaging through kickstarter in the form of Plague Inc: The Board Game - now over 630% funded!
Plague Inc: The Board Game is a strategic game of Infection, Evolution and Extinction for 1-5 players. I've been working on it for almost 2 years and it is available on Kickstarter for a few more days. Backers get a first edition version of the game at a discounted price as well as a load of stretch goals and kickstarter exclusive content.
The Random Name Generator mutation Separately, we just released a medium sized update for Plague Inc: Evolved which adds a random name generator to the game. With the help of our custom built PlagueBot, you will be able to flick through tens of thousands of potentially (but not guaranteed!) witty, dramatic, weird and wonderful names for your precious disease. It also contains a few fixes for benign mimic in multiplayer and some other bits.
Full change log below:
New! Random Name Generator (press the button in 'name your plague' screen)
Fixed: Benign Mimic being applied on dead countries
Fixed: Cure number display in Vs mode on top bar
Fixed: Naming bug if go from custom game to tutorial and quit and restart
Fixed: Simian Country issue (list ordering & brief flash of text)
