Spoiling their schemes with a brand new “gameplay” trailer aired throughout tonight’s PC Gaming present, builders Rebellion revealed just a few of the fiendish new traps henchmen heading to their sunny dangerous man administration sim later this 12 months.
Two years after announcing the supervillain sequel, Rebellion monologued their plans for world domination lair administration sequel Evil Genius 2. Dont’cha know that’s simply giving the goodie time to foil it, guys?
The first Evil Genius, I’m instructed, was fairly good – a campy, spytech tackle Dungeon Keeper that put you within the finely-ironed swimsuit of a megalomaniacal supervillain. Tasked with constructing out a labyrinthine underground lair, you’d fill it with wildly advanced traps whereas hiring all method of goons and henchmen to patrol its halls. All of this in service of preserving well-spoken goodies from foiling your plans to explode the moon or embezzle taxpayer funds. Whatever evil of us are as much as nowadays.
For probably the most half, Evil Genius 2 is sticking near its forebear. Stylish new henchmen may be employed to patrol the halls for intruders or despatched on heists throughout the globe, whereas new elements ought to make crafting overly-complicated traps extra satisfying than ever. We don’t get many of those games nowadays, and a sequel’s additionally an excellent shot at bringing the game’s Austin Powers aesthetic screaming into modernity.
Assuming plans go off with no hitch, Evil Genius 2 ought to arrive on Steam later this 12 months.
