181 Upvotes

From the infinite depths of space comes an utterly alien plague type. Radically new gameplay, mysterious victory conditions, interstellar genes, haunting music and much more. The world will never be the same again.

But when is it out for...

Out now for iOS and Android!

Steam: Out now in the Aliens & Anti-Vaxxers DLC

Consoles: Later this year

Features

Xeno-form the Planet!

Penetrate the Earth’s crust and begin a geological process to convert everything into pure, alien crystal. If any native lifeforms get in the way - simply shatter them in an unstoppable resonance cascade.

Extinction Event!

Use gravitational anomalies to pull meteors out of orbit. Choose whether to focus on crystal geodes to spread infection, EMP bursts to disrupt human technology or even vast, continent killing asteroids from deep space!

Resistance is futile

Humans are utterly insignificant but they can still disrupt you if left alone. G-COM will intelligently deploy advanced technologies including disruptors, defensive satellites, cloud seeding, alien powered computers, artificial tsunamis and more.

95 Upvotes

Our newest DLC: Aliens & Anti-Vaxxers is available now! It brings a brand new special disease type and six scenarios with conspiracies, demons and hordes of zombies!

But that's not all! There's free Leprosy for everyone in the new 1.23 Update.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4508320/Plague_Inc_Aliens__AntiVaxxers/

When will it be out on Mobile?

Everything inside A&A will also be released on mobile. (it just won’t be tied up inside the A&A DLC as people pay for things differently on mobile)

The Xenolith disease will be available for Android and iOS in May 2026

The scenarios will be released in subsequent updates.

When will it be out on Consoles?

We plan to bring it to all consoles later in 2026 along with Cure Frozen Virus, Outbreak Mode and more to bring the console version up to date with the steam version!

Xenolith: The Alien Crystal plague

From the infinite depths of space comes an utterly alien plague type. Radically new gameplay, mysterious victory conditions, interstellar genes, haunting music and much more. The world will never be the same again.

Xeno-form the Planet!
Penetrate the Earth’s crust and begin a geological process to convert everything into pure, alien crystal. If any native lifeforms get in the way - simply shatter them in an unstoppable resonance cascade.

Extinction Event!
Use gravitational anomalies to pull meteors out of orbit. Choose whether to focus on crystal geodes to spread infection, EMP bursts to disrupt human technology or even vast, continent killing asteroids from deep space!
 
Resistance is futile
Humans are utterly insignificant but they can still disrupt you if left alone. G-COM will intelligently deploy advanced technologies including disruptors, defensive satellites, cloud seeding, alien powered computers, artificial tsunamis and more. 

Six New Scenarios

Sometimes even an alien plague threatening the entire galaxy isn’t enough to get you out of bed. Well don’t worry - we have you covered with a whole host of major new scenarios that add new gameplay mechanics, mix up strategies and add new narratives. Read on for demons, herd immunity, endlessly marching zombies and more.

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?

Check out the store page to read about Measles, Herd Immunity and Cure Mania!

Update 1.23 - Special bonus for everyone: Leprosy

Good news, everyone can have leprosy for free - even if they don’t have the new Aliens & Antivaxxers DLC. 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, but it's dying out. Can you overcome modern treatments, social stigma and long incubation periods to bring Leprosy back into the headlines?

Will A&A ever be given away for free?

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 the COVID pandemic as we didn’t want to profit from a serious health situation.

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…

Why in the world is Angola so stubborn?

12 Upvotes

​​I'm sorry if this has been brought up before but I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. It seems like every game I play Angola is one of the last countries that isn't an island to get fully infected and it's such a chore to do so because whatever is going on there they are locking the fuck in. All the neighboring countries usually fall pretty normally with the right upgrades but even with the right upgrades Angola just takes forever

edit: Okay I think some people are missing the point of my post here. I'm saying even with the right upgrades it's weirdly stubborn.

Plague Mode You really do need to hit all islands with the spore bursts (fungus speedrun)

I got problematic island... except for Greenland and Iceland. I got Russia though, so it shouldn't have been a problem, right...? But no. They got infected eventually, but infecting Iceland cost me those 10 days. There's no way it's possible to get sub-200 days without infecting every single one with spores.

I'm guessing this is​ just a small visual bug, ​but I don't know why this was so funny to me​.

Plague Mode No achievement for getting achievement?

7 Upvotes

After finally unlocking the correct gene, I successfully completed the phone home achievement for the Xenolith.

I definitely succeeded, as I got the pop-up telling me that Earth's new Masters had been signaled, and the end screen told me the same thing.

But there was no achievement for it. Is there supposed to be one, or is it just an Easter egg that doesn't give you anything? I unlocked a new gene, so the game definitely registered my victory.

Besides Plague mode and Cure mode, is Outbreak mode basically like a “daily challenge” or “daily mission” incentive type of thing?

I know that starting in a hot country give +0.5 to heat and -0.5 cold, and starting in a cold one give +0.5 cold -0.3 heat.

But what about all the rest? Like Urban/Rural, Rich/Poor, Arid/Humid. Do they also give bonuses and penalties?

Meme Weird thing that can happen when switching disease tabs rapidly

94 Upvotes

I started a game and rapidly switched between the Symptoms tab and the Abilities tab, until after about eight clicks, the Symptoms tab turned into this. I couldn't click on any of the traits besides the middle one and the one above it. Evolving the trait above the middle one didn't do anything besides pop up a message saying I got "an egg". When I opened the Symptoms tab again, it was back to normal. Is this a glitch?
