There is chance of Evil Genius 2 being made. Back in October i asked Jason Kingsley, the CEO of Rellbion, about the chance of an Evil Genius 2 and he said this:

After that someone else asked him about it:

Recently, a few more people have asked and it seems we might hear something about Evil Genius 2 soon:

I asked him yesterday if we are likely to get any news soon and he said this:

It seems quite likely that we will wear something about a new Evil Genius game this year, Rebellion definitely seem interested in doing something with it.

The real Evil Genius is that they have no intention of making such a game.

Rather than some bond villain hiding in a mountain, they should make it based around a north korean style crazy nation that hold the world to ransom with nukes and suicide commando raids.

Best DK "clone" out there, so I am looking forward to news.

The Tropico devs have to be working on something NK related. They have to be. It's too easy money to pass up.

It will be a Kickstarter project, calling it now.

CaptainTiptop · (02-13-2013, 02:02 PM)

Hell yes, I'm so down for this!

I'm ok with this. I can see publishers not wanting to fund it because they don't think it'll sell millions.

I didn't like the Evil Genius demo waaay back in the day. Too much micromanagement.

Totally absurd. It plays nothing at all like Donkey Kong.

Clearly theres a burning desire over at Rebellion creatively to do a sequel to the decade old game. Or a burning desire to get in on some of dat Kickstarter money.

Vargavinter · (02-13-2013, 02:13 PM)

Woot! Fantastic news!

Impeccable · (02-13-2013, 02:14 PM)

Loved that game, I remember it being really easy though.

Calavera520 · (02-13-2013, 02:15 PM)

i think it's pretty shitty when developers tease this stuff out on twitter when there is no real project to speak of.

I've waited so long...

Only if you made an ubertrap and trapped enough agents in it to prevent more coming to your island. Otherwise it could get pretty hard with agents blowing up your base at every chance they got.

What was Evil Genius 1?

big youth · (02-13-2013, 02:16 PM)

just a few days ago I was thinking about this game, and how it's a shame we'll likely never get a sequel...

I bought the game used (back when gamestop used to sell used PC games) and I agree with you.

kurahador · (02-13-2013, 02:18 PM)

Wow...didn't expect this.

YES!!

I would not be surpised if it was a Kickstarter play. Then again, I would back it so I would have no problems with that :)

A video game.

Don't get me wrong, I will too. But it takes ages for Kickstarter games to be a tangible thing.

lilltias · (02-13-2013, 02:21 PM)

it's like gaming is coming back in full force with all these recent news.

It's better than him just ignoring everyone who asks.

Munin · (02-13-2013, 04:10 PM)

I never realized Evil Genius had anything to do with Rebellion...but the original developers, Elixir are long gone and Rebellion in general are quite hit and miss. :/

Kurita · (02-13-2013, 04:11 PM)

Evil Genius was such a fantastic game...

Willy Wanka · (02-13-2013, 04:22 PM)

I love the first game. Consider this bought if it happens.

They purchased all of Elixirs IPs, but so far all they've done with Evil Genius is make a Facebook game with it.
