Happy 2018 everybody! It's been a busy month for us, and according to our 2017-2018 report card, a busy year!

Over 100 million players have now been infected with Plague Inc. worldwide and, for the sixth year running, it's one of the most popular paid apps on iOS (ranked 4th in the USA for 2017)!
Fun fact - Players have wiped out earth 1,530,597,131 times, infecting 13,535,648,426,642,177,590 people in the process (as of October 2017).

For more fun facts and interesting milestones, you can read our full report card here.

Let us know how you're doing! Any big plans for 2018? Let's keep spreading the joy (and the plague).]]>

You may have noticed that, thanks to the support of 6,590 Kickstarter backers, we’ve designed and manufactured a physical tabletop board game based on Plague Inc.! Late last year we got the first batch of copies out to those backers and the response has been overwhelmingly positive.

Now the board game is beginning to ooze out into the retail market in the US and UK, which is an extremely exciting and also nervous time for us (if the game does well we get to make lots of new expansions for it!). If you’re interested, you can pick up a copy right now over on Amazon and you’ll see boxes arriving on the shelves at your local board game shops very soon!

Just like on the App Store and Steam, reviews on Amazon are mega important. If you’ve played the board game and enjoyed it, we would really appreciate it if you could head over to Amazon here (http://www.plagueinc.com/gettheboardgame) and leave us a review. Every single review counts.

(Oh, and If you don't like the game for whatever reason - you can send us feedback on what changes you would like to see in an expansion here boardgame@ndemiccreations.com)

We'll be in touch soon to let you all know how the retail launch goes. We’re also working on a Kickstarter blog/post-mortem summing up how everything went and lessons learned so stay tuned for that.

Thanks and stay healthy!

We're also narrowing in on converting a new batch of Custom Scenarios over to console for you to play, so watch out for those in the imminent future too - I know a lot of you have been asking for them, and they are coming!

Full change log is below:

New Features

- 'Double Strain' Cheat - How will the world handle two Patient Zeroes? Start your plague off in two countries at once with this brand new cheat
- Statistics Screen - Track how your diseases have impacted the world across games
- 'Pity Mode' - Struggling to unlock disease types? Pity Mode takes mercy on you, granting you access to new disease types by completing a game on Casual rather than Normal

Bug Fixes

- Disease names can now contain curly braces! {}
- Reduced number of Trojan Planes triggering in Neurax Worm disease type
- Speed Run ‘Biohazard’ scores now populate on Speed Run screen post-completion
- UI fixes in Simian Flu (relating to button prompts for World / Country Screens)

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
  

EDIT: Hotfix - 20th April

• DLL handshaking improved (this should fix most of the DLL issues that a few people have reported, but they can be caused by a number of things, so please do get in touch if the problem persists!)
• Fully Evolved achievement fixed.
• Save bug in Scenario Creator fixed.
• Steam controller default mapping fixed.

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

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 James, the creator of the game, with a special Multiplayer achievement. Anyone that plays him will "catch" the achievement, and be able to spread it to others in turn. Keep an eye out for 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. 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
  

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

Tom

P.S. Good luck battling to genetically dominate each other. May the best plague win

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 James, the creator of the game, with a special Multiplayer achievement. Anyone that plays him will "catch" the achievement, and be able to spread it to others in turn. Keep an eye out for 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. 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
  

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

Tom

P.S. Good luck battling to genetically dominate each other. May the best plague win

We had over 130 submissions, and we have played them all, (lots of them multiple times). We've seen everything from Ancient Egyptian Scarab beetles to World Wide Computer Bugs to gruesome Human Centipedes! We were really impressed with the overall standard and with so many great entries, judging the competition has been really challenging!

Anyway, what you are really interested in, is who has won. We first narrowed it down to a "long list" of possible winners (honourable mentions) and then narrowed this down to the final shortlist (Runners up). Finally, we then deliberated for quite a while about who were the three prize winners. So here are the results:

1ST PRIZE ($100 Steam/Amazon voucher) - Anti-Plague - Necroa Virus BY ya.bym5



2ND PRIZE (Extra copy of Plague Inc: Evolved and Soundtrack) - Cyber Hive BY Si1entium
3RD PRIZE (Plague Inc: Evolved Soundtrack) - The Curse BY [SnS] Khemikal

RUNNERS UP:
Don't let the bugs bite BY Eremus007
Assimilation Bugs BY infernalthing
World Infestation BY glasswalker932

HONOURABLE MENTIONS:
Bugs and Insects: Vengeance BY kingdomrusher3
Hive Mind BY Eeveeiott
Ophiocordyceps unilateralis BY Knjazh
Rise of the Insects BY conman813
Skin Crawlers BY infernalthing
The Fourth Plague BY DreadPirateDavid
The Human Centipede BY sfbsemmel junior
Web Death BY lewis5501
WWB (World Wide Bug) BY wolle981
You encountered a bug! BY NoVeXX

Congratulations to our winners (we'll be emailing you shortly) and thanks very much to everyone that entered, there were many more great scenarios and you should all b proud of your creations. We will be featuring everyone mentioned above at some point over the next few months.]]>

About Multiplayer in Plague Inc: Evolved:

The multiplayer game mode lets two players rampage across the world whilst humans do everything they can to try and save humanity. In a battle for genetic dominance, you must devise cunning strategies to out-evolve your opponent and exploit their weaknesses. Eventually, you will be strong enough to absorb your opponent and become the ultimate plague!


early development screenshot - not final!


How to sign up to be a beta tester:

Initially, the 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!)

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

We will be accepting applications for the next two weeks – applications will close Friday 19th June 2015 and we will then select the first round of testers.

To apply - please follow this link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1f6y1TwD...U/viewform



Looking forward to infecting some of you

April has been another extremely busy month for us. Although our main focus is still Multiplayer, some of the team had some spare capacity so we have been able to work on Evolution 14 at the same time, which includes a major city-cam update along with full Linux support.

It's really cool to finally be able to release the game for Linux - it's been on our development roadmap for ages and was a key thing we promised to do in Early Access. Huge thanks to our Linux beta testers - it has been extremely helpful getting all your feedback as we worked on making it run perfectly!

Evolution 14 also adds a major graphical update for everyone on all platforms as we have significantly expanded the city-cams which show humanity's struggle at street level. We've pushed out over over 30 new country city cams with 132 new images to the game so now you get to see your disease infect a whole host of different cities and environments. What makes this feature especially cool is the support our community has given us in helping us find / provide the base images for us to 'plague-ify'. We will be adding more countries in the future!

New Featured Scenarios

We've also updated our Featured Scenarios in-game, featuring the most inventive and polished scenarios we've played this month. Congrats to the authors!

The Great Purge by Lord Malthus
Bourbon Virus by Not Charles
M.A.t.H. by Mega Munchy
Rise of the Fridges byRoller Mobster
After The Plague by brothercake

You can check out these and thousands of other scenarios in game now!

Multiplayer Development Update

We're still deep in Multiplayer development and making some really good progress. One challenge we recently solved was how to decide who 'wins' the game. (If you just said person who killed the most - then the game would end at 50% dead)
The solution was to come up with a brand new, multiplayer-exclusive concept called Genetic Dominance - which sees both players trying to become stronger and absorb the other person's plague. It is essentially, a tug-of-war between players based on how many people they have infected and killed. Can you wipe out your opponent before they wipe out you? I can't wait to start beta testing - hopefully in the next month or so.

Check back soon for more news!

p.s. We had a fantastic response to the Insect themed Scenario Creator competition - watch out for announcements about the winners soon!

• Enti134 - Ndemic Forum - /?&XML_ERROR: help, I am trapped in a news box

• Captain Murray - Steam Forum - Italian plumber fined for killing turtles
• Coolsy101 - Steam Forum - Hedgehog breaks land speed record
  

Watch out for these appearing in-game in an update in the New Year!

And remember - there is an extra special prize to be awarded if any of these headlines make it onto the front page of Reddit... (none of the winning headlines last time managed this - will yours be the first..?)

On top of this, we have added a Teleportation scenario - Highly advanced technology has created the opportunity to travel through a portal and teleport to other countries. Where will they go?

We've also added loads of new achievements for Simian Flu and a few others. Still waiting for someone to work out how to do "Film Fanatic" though

There are of course a range of other fixes/tweaks/improvements, including the ability to download scenario files from the Steam Cloud so that you can easily work on a custom scenario from a different machine.

Hope you enjoy spreading the Christmas Spirit
