Description

Plague Inc: Evolved puts you in control of a deadly pathogen, starting from Patient Zero and evolving traits to outwit humanity’s defenses. The game blends real‑time strategy with a realistic simulation of disease spread, offering both single‑player campaigns and multiplayer modes. Available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, Mac, and Linux, the title delivers a sandbox experience where you can experiment with countless virus, bacteria, and parasite evolutions. Whether you’re playing solo or cooperating with friends, each game challenges you to balance infectivity, lethality, and resistance in a race against global countermeasures.

Tasked with designing and operating a fully functional medical facility, you must cure bizarre illnesses while keeping both your staff and patients happy. Permanently infused with Bullfrog's signature eccentric humor, the game challenges you to balance the books, handle epidemics, and construct specialized rooms to deal with ridiculous fictional diseases. Build your healthcare empire and prove your managerial prowess in this beloved 1997 strategy hit.
