The world keeps changing! And Plague Inc. evolves with it in this new free update!
The 2026 World Update uses the latest global data sets from the World Bank to upgrade the core Plague Inc. simulation model gamewide - including for the newly added Xenolith disease type.
If you want to live in the past, then the free Plague Legacy scenario is available to everyone and puts things back to the way things were in 2012!
Amazingly, Plague Inc. is 14 years old now and we couldn’t have kept on updating it without all your support. If you'd like to support us more, drop us a review; every one helps!

Some of you may have got our first DLC Plague Inc: The Cure for free. That is because we gave it away for free during covid as we didn’t want to profit from a serious health situation. LINK
If an alien invasion* happens - Ndemic will adopt the same approach and give A&A away for free for the duration of the invasion.
*Invasion is defined as an alien entity commencing a military offensive intended to establish control over any portion of Planet Earth…

But that's not all! New scenarios are coming with this new DLC…
Anti-Vax
Faith in vaccines is collapsing. Global vaccination campaigns fight to hold the line, but weaponised conspiracies and viral misinformation are infecting the truth! What's the worst that could happen?
Hell on Earth
It's time to subjugate the world! Unleash a heat-loving, hell-spawned plague to corrupt people, animals and even the world itself. Satan is waiting in the depths...
Zombies vs. Earth
A melting glacier unleashes a forgotten nightmare. Greenland falls to the zombie hordes overnight! There is no virus, no cure, only the relentless march of the undead. Can they consume the world?
and more!
Good news, everyone can have Leprosy for free - even if they don’t have the new Aliens & Anti-Vaxxers DLC.
The free update 1.23 will launch at the same time for the base game. To experience it first hand, just update the game and it will be there waiting for you!
Leprosy
Leprosy still infects around 200,000 new people every year due to social stigma and long incubation periods but thanks to modern medicine, it's fully treatable. Can you save humanity's oldest disease from long-term decline?

We recently announced that we are working on a new print run for Plague Inc: The Board Game - thanks to everyone who filled in the form to say what you want in the game; it's great to see the Board Game still has so much love!
Today we're sharing the current experimental rules with you in order to get your views and feedback before we start manufacturing the game. We're also opening up a prototype digital version of Plague Inc: The Board Game on Steam that we've been using to help me playtest various different rules.
These are experimental and may well change! You can use these rules with your normal copy of the game.
We felt that in larger games, too many event cards made the game feel chaotic so we are limiting the total number. This also simplifies the rules slightly and streamlines play. (there will be a rule variant which lets you have infinite event cards still):
We felt that the rules around the end of the game was a bit complex for new players and sometimes left players without much to do on their last turn. We have tried quite a lot of different things here so particularly interested to get your opinions here. Might share some other variants later as well that we are also considering.
Global Collapse replaces Sudden Death.
Once the Country draw pile is empty, you may declare Global Collapse at the start of your turn, before taking any actions - even if face-up cards remain.
If you have started the Global Collapse:
Any thoughts / questions - please share your feedback HERE.
There is a free experimental prototype on Steam that you can play if you want to check out the new rules (or are just curious about the board game in general). It includes Single Player (against a basic bot) and Online Multiplayer against your friends or matchmaking via Quick Play.
It is primarily a tool for me to try things out, so you should expect bugs! (let us know and we'll fix them).
You can get a free Steam key for the game here: https://keys.ndemiccreations.com/
Once you join the Playtest, you'll also be able to invite up to three friends, and they'll get access to the Playtest too!
Note - keys are limited - we will release more over time. Also, as this is a Steam Playtest - the game will be taken down eventually.
Hope you enjoy it. Please let me know how you get on and share your honest feedback to help us make the game as good as it possibly can be. Once we start manufacturing - the rules will be locked in!
http://www.plagueinc.com/plagueboardgamefeedback
You can also join us on Discord if you want to chat about the game / find opponents. We'll be playing as well, so hopefully we'll catch a lot of you there.
