En bref. Après deux minis DLC en septembre et octobre dernier, Abomination pack et Mechanical Minions pack ajoutant quelques sbires et équipements supplémentaires, voici que Rebellion propose aujourd’hui une vraie extension pour son original jeu très parodique dans lequel on incarne un génie du mal.
Add-on qui ajoute un génie écologue nommé Polaire, et une nouvelle base à part entière, qui part à la conquête du monde avec entre autres une flotte de sous-marins. Autrement dit, voilà une nouvelle campagne à jouer pour qui veut plonger plus encore dans le jeu.
Parallèlement le jeu vient aussi de bénéficier d’une mise à jour améliroant un tas de choses, voyez le changelog dans le communiqué suivant si besoin.
Pour plus d’informations sur Evil Genius 2: Oceans Campaign Pack, voyez cette fiche sur Steam. Concernant Evil Genius 2 : World Domination, voyez le site officiel puis cette page sur Steam.
Au passage je vous ajoute une amusante capture d’écran prouvant inconstestablement que dans leur sanctuaire, les génies du mal jouent eux aussi à des wargames.
Communiqué
New Genius – Oceans Campaign Pack (Out Now!)
The BIG FREEZE comes to Evil Genius 2 with the launch of the Oceans Campaign Pack – introducing a new Genius, Lair, Doomsday Device, Minions, temperature system and more!
Brrrr, this new Lair is giving us the shivers! But it sounds like our the new Evil Genius likes to keep things cool. Yes, you guessed it – The Oceans Campaign Pack has landed (in the Arctic of all places)
Get ready to give those pesky Forces of Justice the cold shoulder as the new Oceans Campaign Pack brings the big freeze to Evil Genius 2. Introducing Polar, our ecological mastermind and new genius in Evil Genius 2: World Domination. Venture out to her Arctic Lair and start constructing the Z.E.R.O. Doomsday Device to freeze the Earth to its very core.
Complete with a new Campaign storyline, and five Ocean Regions to control, this cool new pack adds a new Force of Justice Agent type, and an armoured Super-Agent who can even be turned to join forces with you as a Henchman.
In addition, the pack also includes new Minions: Engineers that will beaver away in their Workshop to create and maintain submarines and turrets. A new temperature system means that your workforce’s productivity will be affected if they get too cold or too hot: place heaters and air conditioning to ensure optimum working conditions.
The new Oceans Campaign Pack for Evil Genius 2 is available now on Steam, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Windows Store, and PlayStation 4 and 5 as part of the Season Pass or as an individual purchase costing £8.99/$11.99/€11.99.

From The Evil Genius 2 Development Team
Despite still being in the grips of the winter season, it’s quite mild out… With the release of the Oceans Campaign Pack, our latest Evil Genius is scheming to correct that once and for all! Now available to Season Pass holders as well as for purchase separately, global warming won’t know what hit it.
In addition to developing this frosty new content, the team here has continued to fix community-reported bugs, with just enough time to add a couple of features that have been requested by you along the way.
Most notably we’ve added a function to the furniture side menu that allows you to identify items of furniture that you would like your minions to automatically re-build should it, for any reason, be destroyed. No more worrying about power supply interruptions from Blue Saint and his destructive tendencies, or having to follow Wrecking Bola around after she has smashed her way through all of your precious doors.
We’ve also spent some time improving messaging for Trap cooldowns and blockages, so it should be easier for you all to tell at a glance how your Trap networks are functioning. Finally we also added a button to quickly swap between placed Portals, almost as if you were using them yourself.
With the Season Pass now complete, we’ll be continuing a tail of support, and may even have a surprise or two left that our Community Team will be eager to share information about very soon. Thanks for playing and for continuing to support Evil Genius 2: World Domination.
