"New Game in Evil Genius Series Announced"

Jason Kingsley, the CEO of Rebellion, has hinted at the potential for Evil Genius 3, expressing a deep affection for the franchise. While he isn't ready to make an official announcement yet, Kingsley is actively considering ways to elevate the series to new heights. He believes that the theme of world domination, central to the Evil Genius series, could be explored beyond the traditional base-building simulator genre, venturing into other strategic formats. Currently, the team at Rebellion is in the brainstorming phase, exploring fresh ideas for the franchise's future.

Evil Genius 2, which hit the market in 2021, garnered "mostly positive" reviews from critics on Metacritic. However, the reception among the general player base was more critical. Despite enhancements in graphics and efforts to address issues from the first game, many felt that the sequel did not live up to the original. Players expressed disappointment in several areas, including the global map, the progression of minions, and the quality of various in-game structures.
