New Game Possibly Coming to Evil Genius Series

Jason Kingsley, the CEO of Rebellion, has hinted at the potential for Evil Genius 3, though he's keeping his cards close to his chest without making any official announcements. The franchise is clearly close to his heart, and he's currently mulling over ways to elevate it to new heights.

Kingsley mentioned that the concept of world domination, a central theme in the series, could extend beyond the traditional base-building simulator into other strategic game formats. While specific projects remain under wraps, the creative minds at Rebellion are buzzing with fresh ideas for the franchise's future.

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 the sequel's enhanced graphics and efforts to correct previous shortcomings, it didn't quite live up to the legacy of the original. Players were vocal about their dissatisfaction with the global map, the diminished quality of minions, and various other elements of the game.
