Plague Inc: Evolved is getting bigger and weirder with the Plague Inc: Aliens & Anti-Vaxxers DLC that was just announced recently.

The DLC will introduce the new Xenolith: The Alien Crystal plague, that the developers say will bring "Radically new gameplay, mysterious victory conditions, interstellar genes, haunting music and much more. The world will never be the same again". Some features include:

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.

They've also revealed some new scenarios that will come with it including:

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?

As a little treat, everyone gets Leprosy. Not literally of course, that would be a bit weird. The free update coming at the same time will provide this is a new disease.

No exact release date has been revealed apart from sometime in April. They also said that they have "lots more plans for the future" so there's more to come.

Release Date: 18th February 2016
Platform: 🐧 Native Linux
Official links:Steam

Considering we're starting to have a big problem with the measles making a come back where I live because of idiot anti-vaxxers refusing to vaccinate their children because they believe the socialists (aka Democrats) will brain wash them.

No joke, I've talked to someone who believes this, and they are very much not alone in that and similar beliefs. We're screwed.

Oh mi god, now it's finally clear! I've been vaccinated as a kid and now I'm vehemently anti-fascist! Those pesky lefties vac-washed my brain!
