Scenarios
CompareAIDS
AIDS is a cancelled scenario in Mutation 1.7, in which the player must use HIV/AIDS to infect and wipe out the world. It can be speculated that it was cut during the development of the Scenarios DLC due to having the connection with sex and drugs, which can raise the age rating of the game. The scenario was removed because the developers felt it was "too real", as HIV is a disease that still affects certain groups of people, and people with the condition are often discriminated against.
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?
Artificial Organs
Rapid advances in medical science allow for the production of advanced artificial organs. As production ramps up, it is hoped that the ability to replace organs will significantly improve life expectancy. Is humanity on the brink of immortality?
Bacteria
Most common disease. Well understood and easy to detect
Bio-Weapon
Exceptionally lethal pathogen that kills everything it touches
Black Death
Patient Zero is infected with a previously dormant strain of Yersinia pestis from an unknown origin. Humanity must face a deadly bacterium that has been hidden for centuries - previously killing over 200 million people. However, the world has changed a lot in 700 years with better hygiene and more antibiotics. Will the disease be able to adapt and spread before its victims die off?
Core stats
These are the core stats from Plague Inc. and Plague Inc: Evolved, Lethality being represented by a skull symbol at the bottom of the screen, on the Death Toll Meter, and Infectivity being represented by a biohazard symbol at the bottom of the screen, on the Infection Count Meter. For diseases that don’t kill, such as Santa's Little Helper or Ultimate Board Games, the skull symbol is still a default. While it stays at zero in Santa's Little Helper, the dead people are replaced with “sales” in Ultimate Board Games. In Fake News, the skull symbol is entirely replaced with…
Created Equal
People worldwide agree that a disease free world is a moral imperative. New global programme to improve surveillance capacity significantly increases ability of poor countries to identify, respond to and communicate about national disease outbreaks. If the world stands together, nothing can stop it?
Cuddle Bug
We are on the brink of extinction. Humanity has forgotten how to love - there are no children, people swipe left on happiness and spend their nights eating dinner for one. But the Neurax Worm can feel the love tonight and is going to show everyone how infectious love really is! Can the ultimate Cuddle Bug reignite the spark?
Cure Mania
The world’s gone cure crazy! Scientists are obsessively coordinated, sharing breakthroughs in real time across every border. Cure planes will launch earlier, and *much* more frequently. Can your disease survive when the skies are painted blue?
Custom Scenarios
Custom Scenarios is a feature formerly exclusive to Plague Inc: Evolved which allow players to create and publish their own scenarios via the Scenario Creator and then publish them on Steam Workshop. It was introduced in November 2014. In 2016, players of Plague Inc. became able to play Custom Scenarios. The following year, the app Plague Inc.: Scenario Creator was released for $2.99 and $3.99 on iOS and Android respectively.
Fake News
From wild conspiracy theories to election campaign mudslinging, we now live in a post-fact world where falsehoods and misinformation can spread just like a disease. In this radically different scenario you'll create your very own Fake News story and shape it using all the modern tools and psychological tricks at your disposal. Can you deceive the world? Created with the help of professional Fact Checking organisations Full Fact (UK) and Politifact (USA).
Flight Club
Huge leaps in aviation technology have seen humanity unlock the true potential of suborbital flight on a commercial basis. In this future world you can get from London to Sydney in 2 hours for a fraction of the cost, and every country has an airport. Does the idea of Greenland getting a major airport excite you?
Frozen Virus
A giant virus, frozen deep in the Siberian permafrost, has thawed and infected an unknown victim. Dormant for over 30,000 years, it was last active at a time when mammoths and Neanderthals roamed the world. Its ancient genetic structure pre-dates homo sapiens but its DNA has been severely degraded. Does it have what it takes to send humanity back to the stone age?
Fungus
Fungal spores cause unpredictable spread patterns. Difficult to contain
Global Warming
Huge releases of greenhouse gases significantly accelerate global warming and raise the global surface temperature by over 6°C as well as triggering other climate change events and flooding of low lying countries. Out of the frying pan?
Golden Age
A global growth surge brings huge economic gains that primarily benefit the people at the bottom of the pyramid, improving the quality of life for billions. Healthcare and research is significantly improved worldwide. Can humanity be stopped?
Greenland International
The future is bright! Not only does Greenland now have a new international airport but we also just released our new game After Inc. To celebrate both of these things - this scenario sees the world come to Greenland - with predictable consequences...
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...
Herd Immunity
What doesn't kill humanity makes it stronger. In this upgraded simulation, infected people may now recover from diseases and develop a natural immunity to prevent reinfection. Can Herd Immunity save the world?
Ice Age
Solar variation reduces the amount of radiation emitted by the sun, triggering a minor ice age and lowering the global surface temperature by more than 5°C as well as triggering other climate change events. Is hell freezing over?
Leprosy
Leprosy still infects around 200,000 new people every year due to social stigma and long incubation periods but thanks to modern medicine, it's fully treatable. Can you save humanity's oldest disease from long-term decline?
Mad Cow Disease
Panic over BSE almost shut down the beef industry in the 1990s. Imports were banned and burgers were off the menu until humanity got things under control. Recently though, unforeseen protein folding has resulted in a new variant of the prion - putting the whole food chain at risk. Is now the time to go vegetarian?
Measles
Measles is one of the most preventable diseases in the world thanks to modern vaccines, but misinformation and dangerous new mutations could lead to a deadly resurgence. Can you bring Measles back from the brink?
