About
As a new disease, it is your job to destroy the entire human species by evolving to a deadly plague.
What is happening now
Plague Inc. is a real-time strategy simulator where players design and evolve pathogens to infect global populations, balancing transmission rates, symptoms, and lethality across different environments and defensive measures. Released in 2012, the game has become a fixture across mobile and desktop platforms. Recent coverage has focused on Pathogenic, a new top-down roguelite shooter that draws inspiration from Plague Inc. alongside other titles, suggesting the original's design principles continue to influence strategy and simulation games in unexpected directions.
