Plague Inc.'s concerningly-enthusiastic virus makers have smothered humanity in quite a few viruses, but they've yet to spread an epidemic that threatens to reassign apes as the world's dominant species. That's about to change, thanks to an update themed after the upcoming Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, which should be available "very soon" for the mobile Plague Inc. and its PC and Mac counterpart, Plague Inc.: Evolved. It will also be a threat in the to-be-released Xbox One version of Evolved.
