Jason Kingsley, the CEO of Rebellion, has not ruled out the possibility of developing Evil Genius 3. While he's not ready to make any official announcements, the franchise remains close to his heart. Kingsley is currently exploring ways to elevate the series to new heights, reflecting on how to innovate and enhance the gaming experience.
He suggested that the theme of world domination, central to the Evil Genius series, could be explored beyond the traditional base-building simulator genre. The team at Rebellion is brainstorming various strategic formats to bring fresh perspectives to the franchise. Although these ideas are still in the early stages of discussion, there's a palpable excitement about the potential directions the series could take.
Evil Genius 2, which hit the market in 2021, garnered "mostly positive" reviews from critics on Metacritic. However, the reception among the broader player base was less enthusiastic. Despite the sequel's enhanced graphics and efforts to correct previous errors, many felt it did not live up to the legacy of the original Evil Genius. Players specifically pointed out flaws in the global map design, the handling of minions, and the degradation of various structures, among other issues.
