Rebellion CEO Jason Kingsley hasn't ruled out Evil Genius 3, but isn't making any promises just yet. The franchise is close to his heart, and he's carefully considering how to elevate it for a future installment.
Kingsley notes that the world domination theme isn't limited to base-building simulators; other strategic game formats could be explored. While specifics remain under discussion, the team is actively brainstorming new ideas to revitalize the franchise.
Evil Genius 2, released in 2021, received mostly positive reviews from critics on Metacritic. However, player reception was more mixed. Despite improved graphics and attempts to address past issues, many felt the sequel fell short of the original. Common criticisms included the global map, minion and structure degradation, and other gameplay aspects.
