Shack-approved mobile game Plague Inc has mutated and jumped platforms. Ndemic Creations is preparing an enhanced PC version of the game which has all sorts of new features, including multiplayer, a content creator, and 3D graphics. Multiplayer will come in co-op and competitive variants, with players either teaming up to destroy the world, or race against each other. A new content creator will let players create and share custom scenarios, including new plague types and worlds, over Steam Workshop. Finally, disease models will be rendered in 3D, and a new body scanner will highlight "the full effect of your mutations, organ by organ." Plague Inc: Evolved will be available via Steam Early Access on February 20th for PC. A Mac and Linux version will follow afterwards. No price has been revealed, but it will cost more than the mobile version (99 cents). A FAQ explains that Evolved has every expansion pack included in the price. And let's not forget those fancy organ-by-organ 3D graphics.

  I would love to see a mod for the new Sim City where it's basically this game but I can see a down close and personal view of people spreading the disease.
  
  That way I can get some vindication on my citizens for not using the roads I've built!
