Rebellion CEO Jason Kingsley has hinted at the potential for Evil Genius 3, though he's keeping his cards close to his chest with no official announcements yet. The franchise is close to his heart, and he's mulling over innovative ways to elevate it to new heights. Kingsley envisions expanding the concept of world domination beyond the traditional base-building simulator genre into other strategic formats. While concrete projects are still under wraps, the creative minds at Rebellion are buzzing with fresh ideas for the future of the series.
Evil Genius 2, which hit the shelves in 2021, garnered "mostly positive" reviews from critics on Metacritic. However, the reception from the broader player base was less enthusiastic. Despite boasting enhanced graphics and attempts to rectify issues from the first game, the sequel didn't quite live up to expectations. Players were vocal about their disappointment with elements like the global map, the performance of minions, and the overall degradation of various in-game structures. It seems that while Evil Genius 2 took steps forward in some areas, it stumbled in others, leaving fans eager for what Kingsley might have in store with future iterations.
