Plague Inc: Evolved, the infectious disease simulation game which has achieved more than half a million downloads in Steam Early Access, will launch for Xbox One on Friday, Ndemic Creations has announced.
The original mobile game has racked up over 55 million downloads.
In Plague Inc your pathogen has infected Patient Zero and your aim is to bring about the end of humankind by evolving a deadly, global Plague whilst adapting against everything humanity can do to survive.
The game features:
9 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 – how will you handle a new strain of Swine Flu, or infect a world in Ice Age?
Hyper-Realistic World: Strategise 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.
Much more… including speed runs, Mega-Brutal difficulty and genetic modification.
Ndemic is also promising regular free updates and DLC, including the Simian Flu disease type, and Custom Scenarios created by the game’s community.
“Plague Inc: Evolved on Xbox One is a fantastic experience,” said James Vaughan, the creator of the game. “Everyone loved playing it at Gamescom and I can’t wait to see Xbox One players all over the world finally getting to enjoy the game at home. I’m particularly proud of how we’ve made a strategy game for console which feels easy and effortless to control.”
