Rebellion CEO Jason Kingsley has hinted at the potential development of Evil Genius 3, though he's keeping official announcements under wraps for now. The franchise is close to his heart, and he's currently pondering 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 game formats. While specific projects remain in the early discussion stages, the development team is buzzing with new ideas to shape the future of the franchise.
When Evil Genius 2 hit the shelves in 2021, it garnered "mostly positive" reviews from critics on Metacritic. However, the reception among everyday gamers 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 Evil Genius. Players expressed disappointment with the global map, the handling of minions, and the overall degradation of various in-game structures, among other issues.
