"Evil Genius Series: New Game in Development?"

Jason Kingsley, CEO of Rebellion, has expressed a deep affection for the Evil Genius franchise, leaving the door open for a potential third installment, though no official announcements have been made yet. Kingsley is keen on exploring how to elevate the series to new heights, reflecting on its special place in his heart.

He has suggested that the theme of world domination, central to the Evil Genius series, could be expanded beyond the traditional base-building simulator into various strategic game formats. While specific projects remain in the conceptual stage, the team at Rebellion is buzzing with innovative ideas for the franchise's future.

Evil Genius 2, released in 2021, garnered "mostly positive" reviews from critics on Metacritic. However, the reception among regular players was less enthusiastic. Despite enhancements in graphics and efforts to address previous shortcomings, many felt the sequel did not live up to the original. Criticisms focused on the global map, the handling of minions, and the deterioration of various in-game structures, highlighting areas where the game fell short.
