Plague Inc. Creators Bringing Rebel Inc: Escalation to PC

Ndemic Creations revealed today that Rebel Inc: Escalation will make its way to Steam Early Access in October. The game was released on mobile platforms last year, and it will now join Plague Inc: Evolved on PC with an enhanced edition that adds a lot of new features designed with our platform of choice in mind.

From the creator of ‘Plague Inc: Evolved‘ comes a unique and deeply engaging political/military strategic simulation.

In Rebel Inc: Escalation, the war is ‘over’ – but we all know that doesn’t mean anything. To stabilise the country, you need to balance military and civilian priorities to win the hearts and minds of the people, whilst also stopping insurgents from seizing power!

Following on from the global mega hit ‘Plague Inc.‘ with over 130 million players, Rebel Inc: Escalation offers a deeply engaging, strategic challenge inspired by the complexities and consequences of modern counter insurgency. It has received acclaim from international development experts and was even featured at a major international peace conference!

Rebel Inc: Escalation will combine the original critically acclaimed gameplay with significant, all-new features for PC including a campaign, multiplayer, steam workshop support, improved graphics and lots more.
