Ndemic Creations announced today that Plague Inc: Evolved is coming to Xbox One this week. Originally announced during Microsoft’s E3 stage show last year, Plague Inc: Evolved for Xbox One let's you play as the disease itself and attempt to wipe out humanity and the world itself. In order to progress, you'll have to do everything you can to avoid humans' attempt to stop your virus by modifying it to be immune. There are are number of new features including

• –  9 Different Disease Types: Master every pathogen; from bacteria to bio-weapons and mind control to zombies, end humanity by any means possible – different diseases will need radically different approaches.
• –  20 Unique Scenario s: Adapt your strategy – how will you handle a new strain of Swine Flu, or infect a world in Ice Age?
• –  Hyper-Realistic World: Strategize in the real world – advanced AI and use of real-world data and events make Plague Inc: Evolved a highly authentic simulation of a world-ending pathogen. Even the CDC likes it!
• –  And much more… including speed runs, Mega-Brutal difficulty and genetic modification…

The studio has said they will release updates including the Simian flu and custom community viruses as well in the future. Hopefully, the let us play as the ultimate population control virus in vaccines as well. The game's creator James Vaughn has stated that "“Everyone loved playing it at Gamescom  and I can’t wait to see Xbox One players all over the world finally getting to enjoy the game at home.
