Jason Kingsley, the CEO of Rebellion, has sparked intrigue among fans by not ruling out the possibility of an Evil Genius 3. While no official announcements have been made, Kingsley has expressed that the franchise holds a special place in his heart. He is currently exploring ways to elevate the series to new heights, reflecting a deep commitment to its future.
Kingsley envisions the theme of world domination extending beyond the traditional base-building simulator genre. He suggests that this iconic concept could be adapted into various strategic game formats. Although specific projects remain in the discussion phase, the team at Rebellion is actively brainstorming innovative ideas to shape the franchise's future.
Released in 2021, Evil Genius 2 garnered "mostly positive" reviews from critics on Metacritic. However, the reception from the general player base was less favorable. Despite enhancements in graphics and efforts to address previous shortcomings, the sequel did not meet the expectations set by its predecessor. Players voiced their disappointment over several aspects, including the global map, the management of minions, and the degradation of various in-game structures. These criticisms highlight areas that Rebellion might consider refining should they decide to develop Evil Genius 3.
