Jason Kingsley, CEO of Rebellion, has expressed an openness to the idea of developing Evil Genius 3. While no official announcements have been made, Kingsley has a deep affection for the franchise and is considering innovative ways to elevate it further. He envisions expanding the theme of world domination beyond the traditional base-building simulator into various strategic game formats. Although specific projects are still under discussion, the development team is buzzing with fresh ideas to propel the franchise forward.
Evil Genius 2, which hit the market in 2021, garnered "mostly positive" reviews from critics on Metacritic. However, the reception among regular players was less enthusiastic. Despite the enhancements in graphics and efforts to address previous shortcomings, many felt the sequel did not live up to the original. Players were particularly vocal about their dissatisfaction with the global map, the decline in minion quality, and issues with various in-game structures. These criticisms highlight areas where future iterations, like a potential Evil Genius 3, could focus on improvements to meet fan expectations.
