New Game in Evil Genius Series Announced

Rebellion CEO Jason Kingsley has hinted at the potential for Evil Genius 3, though he's not ready to make any official announcements just yet. The franchise is close to his heart, and he's currently mulling over how to elevate it to new heights. Kingsley suggests that the theme of world domination could be explored beyond the traditional base-building simulator, venturing into different strategic game formats. While concrete projects are still in the early stages of discussion, the team at Rebellion is buzzing with fresh ideas for the future of the series.

When Evil Genius 2 was released in 2021, it garnered "mostly positive" reviews from critics on Metacritic. However, the reception among regular players was less enthusiastic. Despite enhancements in graphics and efforts to rectify issues from the first game, many felt that the sequel didn't quite measure up to the original. Players specifically pointed out flaws in the global map, the handling of minions, and the overall degradation of various in-game structures.
