Plague Inc virus game launches new version, 100% free on Steam

You only need to have the original version to be able to immediately download and play the new DLC called Plague Inc: The Cure.

True to what the developer Ndemic Creations promised, a year after the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, Plague Inc has a new expansion. Even more special when this content is released 100% free. That means you only need to have the original version to be able to immediately download and play the new DLC called Plague Inc: The Cure.

It is known that Plague Inc is a disease simulation game that was first released in 2012. The task of the game is that you must find a way to develop a new virus and infect as many people as possible. When it launched five years ago, Plague Inc didn’t attract much attention. However, when the Covid-19 pandemic began to explode, this game was noticed by many people and became one of the hottest names in the past year.

Responding to the love from the community, as well as showing its responsibility to social issues, the publisher Ndemic Creations decided to develop a new game mode that goes against the original content. Instead of spreading the virus around the world, you will play the role of a hero who will try to save humanity from a genocidal pandemic. This regimen was developed with the help and consultation of experts from the World Health Organization, the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network, and many others.

Instead of creating viruses to kill people, players will have to find a way to stop the spread of the virus while boosting health care systems. Other mechanics that will involve controlling real-world actions such as handling, isolation, social distancing, and other closed public services will also be available in Plague Inc’s new game mode.

For the fight against the coronavirus pandemic, developer Ndemic Creations has donated $250,000 in the fight against coronavirus. James Vaughan, head of studio Ndemic Creations said: “Nine years ago, I never imagined the real world would be like Plague Inc or so many people would use it to help them get through a real pandemic.” He said that studio Ndemic Creations is proud to be able to help key WHO and CEPI organizations as they work to find a vaccine for COVID-19.

At the moment, Plague Inc: The Cure is being released 100% free. Those interested can download and play right here. For those who do not have the original version, you need to buy it for 60,000 VND on Steam.
