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 potential next installment.
Kingsley suggests the world domination theme could translate beyond the base-building simulator genre, opening doors to other strategic game formats. While specifics remain under discussion, the development team is actively brainstorming new ideas to revitalize the franchise.
Released in 2021, Evil Genius 2 received mostly positive reviews from critics on Metacritic. However, player reception was more mixed. Despite improved graphics and some attempts to address past criticisms, the sequel fell short of expectations for many, compared to the original. Common complaints included the global map design, minion and structure degradation mechanics, and other gameplay aspects.
