"Evil Genius Series: New Game in Development"

Jason Kingsley, the CEO of Rebellion, has expressed that while he isn't ready to make any official announcements, he hasn't ruled out the possibility of developing Evil Genius 3. The franchise is particularly dear to him, and he is currently exploring ways to elevate it to new heights. Kingsley is considering expanding the concept of world domination beyond the traditional base-building simulator genre into other strategic formats. Although specific projects are still in the early stages of discussion, the team at Rebellion is actively brainstorming innovative ideas for the future of the franchise.

Released in 2021, Evil Genius 2 garnered "mostly positive" reviews from critics on Metacritic. However, the reception among regular players was less favorable. Despite enhancements in graphics and efforts to address previous shortcomings, the sequel did not meet the expectations set by the original game. Players voiced their dissatisfaction with elements such as the global map, the handling of minions, and the overall degradation of various in-game structures. These criticisms highlight areas where Evil Genius 2 fell short compared to its predecessor.
