PLAGUE INC. NOW HAS A FREE MODE WHERE YOU FIGHT A PANDEMIC

The game, Plague Inc., which was originally launched in 2012 by Ndemic Creations, but surged in popularity this year owing to the COVID-19 outbreak across the world — has now announced the biggest update in the form of the new mode titled “Plague Inc: The Cure,” which is completely opposite take on the original gameplay (wherein you’re supposed to create and control a global plague whilst adapting against everything humanity can do to defend itself.)

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. 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.- Richard Hatchett CEO, CEPI
