The original Evil Genius may never have reached the same acclaim as Rollercoaster Tycoon, Age of Empires and Theme Hospital but it remains a much-loved title among those who played it.

And with the announcement of the Evil Genius 2 release date, almost 15 years later, fans have the chance to see the game brought up to speed.

From what the Daily Express Online saw at E3 2019, the hopes of those gamers are in safe hands at Rebellion.

EVIL GENIUS 2 WORLD DOMINATION TRAILER

Evil Genius 2: World Domination is being treated as a sequel rather than a remaster, meaning that the development team have more wiggle room when it comes to making changes.

But instead of going down the route of a complete reboot, Rebellion has chosen to enhance, rather than replace the original gameplay.

This has been done to great effect in recent years, with titles like XCOM 2 and Age of Empire 2 Definitive Edition, paving the way.

The good news is that Evil Genius 2 is going include all the things that made the first one great and has a release date set for 2020.

You can build a massive underground layer, filled with nefarious tools to be used in your quest for world domination.

But as this is 2019, gamers are going to have bigger and better options to choose from.
