"New Game Possibly Coming to Evil Genius Series"

Rebellion CEO Jason Kingsley has expressed a soft spot for the Evil Genius franchise, hinting at the potential for a third installment, though he refrains from making any concrete announcements at this stage. Kingsley cherishes the series and is currently mulling over innovative ways to elevate it further.

He suggested that the theme of world domination, central to Evil Genius, could transcend the traditional base-building simulator genre and venture into other strategic game formats. While no specific projects have been confirmed, the team at Rebellion is buzzing with creativity, exploring fresh concepts for the franchise's future.

Evil Genius 2, which hit the market in 2021, garnered "mostly positive" reviews from critics on Metacritic. However, the reception among the general player base was less enthusiastic. Despite enhancements in graphics and efforts to address previous shortcomings, the sequel didn't quite live up to the legacy of the original. Players voiced their disappointment over issues like the global map, the handling of minions, and the overall quality of various in-game structures.
