New Game Possibly Coming to Evil Genius Series

Rebellion CEO Jason Kingsley has not ruled out the possibility of developing Evil Genius 3, though he refrains from making any official announcements at this stage. The franchise, which holds a special place in his heart, is currently under consideration for how it might evolve to reach new heights. Kingsley suggests that the theme of world domination could extend beyond the traditional base-building simulator into other strategic game formats. While specific projects remain in the discussion phase, the development team is actively brainstorming fresh ideas to shape the future of the franchise.

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 favorable. Despite enhancements in graphics and efforts to address previous issues, many felt the sequel did not live up to the original. Players expressed dissatisfaction with elements such as the global map, the progression of minions, and the degradation of various in-game structures, among other criticisms.
