'Evil Genius 2: World Domination' Delayed Until 2021

by Rainier on Aug. 28, 2020 @ 5:47 p.m. PDT

Evil Genius 2: World Domination is a real-time, lair-management and world-domination simulation.

Evil Genius 2 is a satirical spy-fi lair builder, where players take control of an Evil Genius and set their plans for world domination in motion. When it feels this good to be bad, the Forces of Justice don’t stand a chance!

Build your own unique evil lair and cover operation, Train a force of criminal minions, Defend your Lair from the Forces of Justice, and Dominate the world with a Doomsday Device in this direct sequel to the 2004 cult classic!

Every villain needs an island lair, so pick your paradise and put your own sinister stamp on it! Shape the internal structure of your hazardous hideaway to fit your play-style, and construct wonderfully wicked devices for your minions to put to use.

Dear Evil Genius Community,

We hope this finds you safe and well. Over the last five months or so, Rebellion has been working hard from the safety of our homes. We've tried to ensure there wouldn't be a disturbance to our capacity and plans, but in such unexpected circumstances we've had to make some changes.
TODAY WE'RE ANNOUNCING THAT EVIL GENIUS 2: WORLD DOMINATION WILL LAUNCH IN THE FIRST HALF OF 2021.
We had originally planned for Evil Genius 2 to launch this year. However, the impact of COVID-19, transitioning from the studio to our homes and adapting to new ways of working all contributed to this difficult decision.
We want to deliver a sequel that will do justice to the franchise and be loved and played by the Evil Genius community for years to come, just like the original. And while we know many of you will be disappointed to wait a little longer, launching next year affords us the time to do precisely that.
One of the things we most prize about Rebellion is our independence, which allows us the freedom to do what's right for our games and our staff. We'll announce the final release date as soon as we can. Expect an update sooner rather than later.

We're going to be showing you much, much more of Evil Genius 2 over the coming months, as well as sharing some information on the upcoming closed beta. We can't wait to see what you think.
Thank you as ever for your support and your trust.

Competence isn’t going to cut it when you’re running an evil operation. As you expand and train your minion workforce, you can create new specialists to help further your evil plans! Need something a little more…intimidating? Recruit powerful Henchmen that complement your play style; every mastermind needs a right hand…or several, in fact!

The Forces of Justice are annoyingly punctual, so supplement your brute force by researching and developing a series of trap networks! Send those do-gooders spinning with a Pinball Bumper, or put the chomp on them with the Venus Spy-Trap. While one trap is good, more is…evil-er. Combo your traps to banish intruders for good!

Carry out evil schemes to further your plot to build a Doomsday Device and dominate the world! Sell the British Royal Family, Kidnap the Governor of Maine, and literally BAKE ALASKA. With hundreds of potential objectives, variety is the spice of strife.

Evil Genius 2: World Domination is coming to PC (Steam) in 2021!
