The trailer was released alongside details of the game’s photo mode and post-launch update plans. First, here’s the trailer: I hadn’t been paying Evil Genius 2 much notice, personally. I’ve no nostalgia for the original, because it seemed at the time like an off-brand Dungeon Keeper clone, but this video made me want to play this revival. Well done, video. After the game’s release on March 30th, developers Rebellion will turn towards paid and free post-launch updates. Those updates will include a campaign pack, which will add a new playable Genius and island lair, while other packs will add new henchmen, minions types, room types, traps and more. Evil Genius 2’s photo mode meanwhile sounds like fairly standard stuff. It’ll give you camera options like field of view, depth of field and focal distance, and the ability to apply filters and overlays. I can’t imagine getting excited about photography in a management game of this type, but it’s nice to have anyway. All being well, we’ll have a review of Evil Genius 2 ahead of release.
