Rebellion CEO Jason Kingsley hasn't ruled out Evil Genius 3, but there are no official announcements just yet. The franchise is close to his heart, and he's currently exploring how to elevate it for a future installment.
Kingsley suggests the world domination theme could translate beyond the base-building simulator genre, opening doors to other strategic game formats. While specifics remain under discussion, the development team is actively brainstorming new ideas to revitalize the franchise.
Evil Genius 2, released in 2021, garnered "mostly positive" reviews from critics on Metacritic. However, player reception was more mixed. Despite graphical improvements and attempts to address past criticisms, the sequel fell short of the original in many players' opinions. Common complaints included the global map design, minion and structure degradation, and other gameplay aspects.
