Rebellion CEO Jason Kingsley has expressed a soft spot for the Evil Genius franchise, hinting at the potential for a third installment, though he's keeping his cards close to his chest with no official announcements yet. Kingsley is passionate about the series and is currently mulling over innovative ways to elevate it to new heights.
He's exploring the concept of world domination beyond the traditional base-building simulator genre, considering other strategic game formats. While concrete projects are still under wraps, the creative minds at Rebellion are buzzing with fresh ideas for the franchise's future.
Evil Genius 2, which hit the shelves in 2021, garnered "mostly positive" reviews from critics on Metacritic. However, the reception from the general player base was less enthusiastic. Despite boasting enhanced graphics and efforts to rectify previous shortcomings, the sequel didn't quite live up to the legacy of the original. Players voiced their frustrations over issues like the global map, the decline in minion quality, and various structural elements, indicating that the game fell short in several key areas compared to its predecessor.
