A free Plague Inc update flips the tables on the popular simulator, this time letting you work towards finding a cure for a virus rather than trying to take the planet out with one.
Titled The Cure, Plague Inc‘s latest update was created in consultation with organisations including the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness (CEPI), the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN). The update will be offered for free on iOS and Android devices while the coronavirus pandemic rages on.
“From contact tracing to vaccine development and manufacturing, Plague Inc: The Cure encapsulates the complexities of a global pandemic response and highlights how crucial international collaboration is needed to address such a threat,” said Richard Hatchett, the CEO of CEPI.
“Games like Plague Inc: The Cure represent an incredibly important medium for education and public awareness that can be used to show the world the steps needed to address similar global health threats and their associated complexities.”
Plague Inc is available now on iOS and Android devices, alongside a release on Xbox One.
