Jason Kingsley, the CEO of Rebellion, has sparked intrigue among fans by not ruling out the possibility of Evil Genius 3. While he refrains from making any official announcements at this stage, Kingsley expressed a deep affection for the franchise, hinting at his desire to elevate it further. He is currently pondering the best way to advance the series, keeping fans eagerly awaiting what might come next.
Kingsley also shared his vision for expanding the theme of world domination beyond the traditional base-building simulator genre. He believes this concept could be explored in various strategic formats. Although concrete projects remain in the conceptual stage, the development team is buzzing with creative ideas for the future of the Evil Genius franchise.
Looking back, Evil Genius 2, which was released in 2021, garnered "mostly positive" reviews from critics on Metacritic. However, the reception among regular players was less favorable. Despite enhancements in graphics and efforts to rectify issues from the first game, the sequel did not meet the expectations set by its predecessor. Players voiced their dissatisfaction with elements such as the global map, the management of minions, and the functionality of various structures, indicating that the sequel had room for improvement in several key areas.
