Battle Deadly Outbreaks in 505 Games' Quarantine

Stop the spread.

By Seth G. Macy

Abzu publisher 505 Games announced a brand-new IP, Quarantine, coming to Steam Early Access next month.

Quarantine is a single-player game where players "battle to contain outbreaks and cure diseases," as the director of Pandemic Defense.

The setting takes cues from "real-world science and epidemic response," according to 505 Games. Viruses, bacteria, and prions represent the three pathogens players must battle during the game, and several different specialists, from medic to diplomat, can be deployed to help deal with the devastation.

Three difficulty settings, four different leaders, and "unpredictable gameplay" lend to Quarantine's replayability, according to 505 Games.

505's Abzu was nominated for best visuals in our Best of 2016 awards.

Quarantine hits early access on February 7 for $15 USD.
