Jason Kingsley, the CEO of Rebellion, has hinted at the potential for an Evil Genius 3, though he's keeping his cards close to his chest with no official announcements yet. The franchise is close to his heart, and he's currently mulling over innovative ways to elevate it further. Kingsley envisions the theme of world domination expanding beyond the traditional base-building simulator genre into various strategic formats. While specific projects are still in the brainstorming stage, the development team is buzzing with fresh ideas for the franchise's future.
When Evil Genius 2 hit the shelves in 2021, it garnered "mostly positive" reviews from critics on Metacritic. However, the reception from the player base was less enthusiastic. Despite boasting enhanced graphics and efforts to address previous issues, the sequel didn't quite live up to the legacy of the original game. Players expressed disappointment with elements such as the global map, the way minions and various structures were handled, and numerous other features. Kingsley and his team are undoubtedly taking these critiques into consideration as they ponder the next steps for the beloved series.
