Can you save the world? Take control and stop a deadly global pandemic by any means necessary. Allocate resources to boost testing capacity, make facemasks compulsory, lock down countries or investigate experimental treatments in Plague Inc.’s biggest expansion ever!

Created with the help of world health experts from all over the world including the WHO, CEPI and GOARN, Plague Inc: The Cure is an engaging and timely simulation of a global disease response.



Dispatch research teams around the world to find patient zero, track the spread of the outbreak and support local responses.

Implement measures such as contact tracing, lockdowns and border closures to limit the spread of the outbreak, whilst getting people to wash their hands and preparing hospitals to prevent them getting overwhelmed.

People won’t comply with poorly designed quarantine measures; use furlough schemes and other policies to drive community support and consensus.

Research, manufacture and distribute a vaccine to stop the disease. Work carefully and promote global cooperation to accelerate development.

Plague Inc: The Cure will be free for all Plague Inc. players until COVID-19 is under control.

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.


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.”

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!

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!

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!

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

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!
We love to see the creative and incredible things you make, so please do share your creations with us and maybe your scenario will make the list next time!

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.

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. we’ve made a $250,000 donation split between the Coalition of Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) and the World Health Organisation’s 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 response—with the private sector working together with Governments and philanthropies, pooling resources and expertise—can 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 Organization’s 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 Organization’s 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. CEPI’s 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.

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, it’s 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.

It’s 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 don’t 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
