The title adapts the 2017 board game spin on Plague Inc. It adds a 2vs2 team battle mode, single-player against CPU opponents, a legacy campaign, daily challenges and same-device multiplayer. Three DLC packs are also available.
The video game began as an internal tool. Ndemic Creations built it to test new rules for the second edition of Plague Inc: The Board Game, then decided the digital version was worth releasing on its own. The result keeps the board game's rule set and adds modes that would not work on a tabletop, including online asynchronous versus play and 2vs2 team battles. Three DLC packs ship alongside it: Patient Zero Pack, Extreme Event Pack and Designers' Pathogens.
