Then Rebellion suddenly announced the sequel was back on in 2017 and, despite the global pandemic slowing things down, Evil Genius 2: World Domination finally released on March 31, 2021. It was a fantastic game rich with flavour and character, and a sequel was in the works until developer Elixir Studios went under in 2005. You faced better agents, too, like obvious Bond analogue John Steele or Mariana Mamba, an Austin Powers-like spy who used her raw sex appeal to sway your minions from evil. You ordered around powerful henchmen, usually akin to Bond villain lackeys like Jubei, the disgraced samurai. Through indirect control of your minions, you concocted heinous schemes and fought off the do-gooder agents of the international alliances arrayed against you. You played as the titular Evil Genius hell-bent on destroying the world and defeating the Forces of Justice.
Thrusting you into the role of Bond villains like Blofeld and Goldfinger with an absurd twist thanks to the influence of comedic spy-fi films in the late ‘90s and early 2000s (thanks, Austin Powers ), Evil Genius quickly became a cult classic.
In 2004, thankfully near the start of summer holidays, Elixir Studios launched Evil Genius.
