"New Game Possibly Coming to Evil Genius Series"

Rebellion CEO Jason Kingsley has hinted at the potential for a third installment in the beloved Evil Genius series, though he remains tight-lipped about any official announcements. The franchise is deeply cherished by Kingsley, who is currently exploring innovative ways to elevate the series to new heights.

Kingsley emphasized that the concept of world domination, central to the Evil Genius narrative, could transcend the traditional base-building simulator genre and be adapted into other strategic game formats. While specific plans are still being discussed, the development team is brimming with fresh ideas aimed at revitalizing the franchise.

The sequel, Evil Genius 2, launched in 2021, garnered "mostly positive" reviews from critics on Metacritic. However, the reception among the gaming community was less enthusiastic. Despite boasting enhanced graphics and efforts to address previous shortcomings, the game didn't meet the high expectations set by its predecessor. Players voiced their frustrations over various elements, including the global map, the decline in the quality of minions and structures, and numerous other issues that detracted from their overall experience.
