"New Game Possibly Coming to Evil Genius Series"

Rebellion CEO Jason Kingsley has expressed a deep affection for the Evil Genius franchise, hinting that while no official announcements have been made, he hasn't ruled out the possibility of an Evil Genius 3. Kingsley is passionate about the series and is currently exploring innovative ways to elevate it to new heights.

He suggested that the theme of world domination, central to the Evil Genius series, could be explored beyond the traditional base-building simulator genre. The team at Rebellion is brainstorming various strategic formats to potentially redefine the franchise's future, though specific projects remain under discussion.

When Evil Genius 2 was released in 2021, it garnered "mostly positive" reviews from critics on Metacritic. However, the response from the general player base was less enthusiastic. Despite enhancements in graphics and efforts to rectify issues from the original game, many felt that Evil Genius 2 did not meet expectations. Players particularly criticized the global map, the handling of minions, and the overall degradation of various in-game structures.
