It carries ”significant enhancements” from its mobile origins, and they’re ”hard at work” on content and features exclusive to Evolved, such as multiplayer and custom scenarios.
Plague Inc: Evolved is all about building a virulent plague and nurturing its spread across the world, using those good-for-nothing humans as carriers and incubators.
The core game with 7 disease types and 3 cheat modes will be available once the Early Access build is live. ”We are still hard at work adding in new content and cool features - the game is stable and polished but not currently feature-complete.” Ndemic would like to remind us there will be bugs, and not the ‘good kind’.
”We are aiming to push out new builds very regularly. Between you and me, a lot of the other features are also very nearly ready to go, but I want to make sure they’re perfect before sharing them with you and getting your feedback. If everything goes smoothly, it will be feature-complete and out of Early Access in a few months.”
Plague Inc: Evolved will be priced at $14.99 on Steam Early Access. ”I’ve thought long and hard about the price point of the game and I believe that $14.99 is a fair price. It reflects the value of the additional features in Plague Inc: Evolved without being significantly more expensive than Plague Inc. on mobile.”
