Rebellion showed off the first trailer for Evil Genius 2: World Domination during E3’s PC Gaming Show.
The original Evil Genius was released way back in 2004 by Elixir Studios and Vivendi Universal Games, and the follow-up will finally be coming out next year for Windows PC via Steam.
As with the original, Evil Genius 2: World Domination will be a satirical lair-building game where you play as a Bond-style supervillain. You can check out the reveal trailer above.
Here’s a rundown of the game:
The World Is JUST Enough!
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!
Key Features:
- Cruel Constructions! – 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.
- Atrocious Anti-Heroes! – 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?
