The Deluxe Edition of Evil Genius 2 also includes all of the currently released Season Pass content, which is also available to purchase individually at launch on console, giving players access to additional henchmen, missions, lair items, and more.

In Evil Genius 2 players are tasked with taking over the world. You will need to recruit and train a workforce of loyal minions and powerful henchmen to defend your base from the meddling Forces of Justice and help you in your quest to rule the planet one dastardly scheme at a time.

The game features:

From the deliciously fatal Sushi Chef to the always famished Venus Spy-Trap, you have a huge number of ways to stop the Forces of Justice from foiling your dastardly plans.

World Domination 2.0 – Take to the world stage and execute your campaign of total supremacy. Send your minions and henchmen on missions across the globe as you exert your influence and control over world regions.
