Multiplayer is coming - 1st December

Start getting excited - the multiplayer VS mode is coming for Plague Inc: Evolved on the 1st December. I know lots of people have been waiting for this - I can't wait to be able to play it with everyone ːsteamhappyː

Here is a quick bit of information about how it all works and some very cool new artwork:

In VS. mode - the world is unlucky enough to be infected by two deadly plagues who are battling for control of the world! Whoever infects the world first wins but they must also avoid being cured by humanity or prematurely eradicated by the other plague!

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 endless!

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...
