Jason Kingsley, the CEO of Rebellion, has expressed a keen interest in the future of the Evil Genius franchise, although he's not ready to confirm any new developments just yet. The series is dear to him, and he's currently exploring innovative ways to elevate it to new heights. Kingsley hinted at the possibility of expanding the concept of world domination beyond the traditional base-building simulator genre into various strategic formats. While specific projects are still under discussion, the creative team at Rebellion is buzzing with fresh ideas to propel the franchise forward.
Released in 2021, Evil Genius 2 garnered "mostly positive" reviews from critics on Metacritic. However, the reception among the general player base was less favorable. Despite the sequel's enhanced graphics and efforts to address previous shortcomings, it didn't quite meet the expectations set by its predecessor. Players voiced their frustrations over aspects like the global map, the progression system for minions, and the overall functionality of various in-game structures. The feedback underscores the challenges Rebellion faces in satisfying both new and returning fans with any future installments.
