PC Gaming Show sponsor Rebellion has revealed the world exclusive first trailer of Evil Genius 2 live on-stage. The long-awaited sequel to the 2004 cult hit lair simulation game is introduced with a Team Fortress-y cinematic, and the subtitle of the game is revealed: the extremely apt World Domination.
Now, Rebellion is finally ready to break cover and show everyone its 'nefarious vision' for the project, as it puts it. While the above is not a gameplay trailer, it does give you an idea of what to expect from the game: a similar mixture of base-building and committing 'acts of infamy' in locations around the world. You'll also be tasked with setting traps for spies—something else that was part of the original. The tone looks pretty similar to the first game, too: James Bond-y, but just the right side of Austin Powers, with an art style to match.
This won't be the last we see of Evil Genius 2: World Domination at E3 2019. Expect further thoughts on Rebellion's revival of this offbeat classic in the neat future—it's on my long list of appointments for this week.
