"Evil Genius Series: New Game in Development?"

Jason Kingsley, the CEO of Rebellion, has hinted at the potential for a third installment in the Evil Genius series, though he is not ready to make any official announcements yet. The franchise is particularly dear to Kingsley, who is currently exploring innovative ways to elevate the series to new heights.

Kingsley has expressed that the theme of world domination, central to the Evil Genius series, could transcend the traditional base-building simulator genre and be adapted into other strategic game formats. While specific projects are still under discussion, the team at Rebellion is brimming with fresh ideas for the future of the franchise.

The sequel, Evil Genius 2, which hit the market in 2021, garnered "mostly positive" reviews from critics on Metacritic. However, the reception from the general gaming community was less enthusiastic. Despite enhancements in graphics and efforts to address issues from the original game, many players felt that Evil Genius 2 did not live up to its predecessor. Common criticisms included the global map mechanics, the decline in minion effectiveness, and various structural elements, among other issues.
