“Eight years ago, I never imagined the real world would look so much like a game of Plague Inc. or that so many players would use Plague Inc. to help them get through a real pandemic,” Vaughan said.

“When we were preparing our donations, we were asked several times if we could create a game in which users would work to stop an outbreak. Therefore, in addition to offering financial support, we are accelerating work on a Plague Inc. game mode that will allow players to save the world from a deadly outbreak.”

The new game mode does not have a release date yet, but will be available to everyone for free.
