As announced via a trailer, which you can see if full below, Evil Genius 2 is console bound for the end of next month. It as originally revealed to be coming to most major systems earlier this year, as well as to Xbox Game Pass (it’s unclear if the game’s PC version is also coming or just the Xbox ones). As you can see from the trailer, the game looks very close to its PC counterpart.

Evil Genius 2: World Domination is available now PC and will launch for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One on November 30th.

It was revealed earlier today, via the full trailer that you can see below, that the title will come to both the PlayStation and Xbox family of consoles. There isn’t a lot of information, but it seems the console versions will aim to keep the same amount of content and general tone of the original release. The game is also said to be launching on Xbox Game Pass, though it’s unclear if that will only be for the console edition or for PC as well.

Evil Genius 2: World Domination is available now on PC. It will release on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One sometime in Q4 2021.

AMD recently uploaded several video interviews with developers of games with confirmed FSR support (transcribed by Wccftech), and the one thing they all seem to agree on is that tech is very easy to work with. Pretty much every developer has been able to add FSR support in just a few days, which is something we’ve heard from Square Enix studio Luminous Productions as well, whose Forspoken is supporting FSR.

Said Mateusz Makowiec, CTO at Terminator Resistance developer Teyon: “FSR is open source, so we were able to merge it with our internal engine changes. It took maybe a day to integrate it with the engine and then some time to add the option to the UI. We didn’t need to make any tweaks, it just worked.”

The Riftbreaker developer Exor Studios’ COO Pawel Lekki said: “FidelityFX Super Resolution is great because it’s super easy to implement. The initial implementation took us two days and as soon as we got implemented we started tweaking the game, the engine, to make it look as good as possible. That additional tweaking time was about an additional week, so in total I think the implementation time was just a bit over a week. This is really not a lot in terms of game development time schedules. Regardless of the platform, we can deliver the same technology, we don’t have to customize it per vendor, it just works.”

Evil Genius 2 studio Rebellion’s founder and CTO Chris Kingsley said: “Implementing FSR in our games was very easy, it was pretty much drop-in and it was only a few days. It was remarkably easy, I think it would be fair to say.”

Teemu Jyrkinen, CEO and creative director at Kingshunt developer Vaki Games said: “As a small game studio, we want to use technologies which are easy to implement and easy to use. With AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution, the implementation was easy and we could see the benefits right away from the first playtest.”

Finally, Godfall developer Counterplay Games’ CTO and executive producer Emil Anticevic said: “It was important to us that their upscaling technology is an open solution, because this allows us not only to easily implement this in Godfall but also to customize it to achieve even better results. Not only is FSR easy to implement and to see a substantial performance boost, but it does so regardless of what brand of hardware you’re running on.”

Of course, the actual impact of FSR implementation remains to be seen, but early signs seem to be promising. Here’s hoping we see positive results in the not-too-distant future. 

You can check out AMD’s partner showcase videos with the aforementioned developers below.

At the end of the month,  you’ll be able to get in touch with your evil side with Evil Genius 2: World Domination. The long awaited follow up will see you take on the role of one of four distinct evil genius characters in an effort to take over the world. As with most major releases nowadays, there’s also a day 1 patch to consider, and now we have a list of the many tweaks it’ll be getting with it.

Developer Rebellion released the full patch notes on their official Discord. There is quite a lot here, including fixes for general stability as well as specific changes to the four genius’ campaigns, such as spiderbots hitting things more reliability or certain objectives being tweaked.

It Takes Two

Hazelight Studios’ It Takes Two recently went gold and director Josef Fares has been hyping it a lot, promising tons of variety and how you’ve “never played anything like it.” As such, the game looks like a fun action-packed, platforming adventure with upbeat visuals and a heart-warming story. It even has Fares himself as a talking book because of course it does. As a co-op title, It Takes Two also provides a Friend’s Pass so that another player can go through the entire game with you for free. The game releases on March 26^th for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, PC and Xbox Series X/S.

Disco Elysium: The Final Cut

How would you go about solving crimes? Would you methodically investigate? Manipulate the world’s denizens? Or just spend all of your time dancing? In Disco Elysium, you can do all of this.

With all of the big racing games coming up, it’s nice to have titles like Monster Truck Championship. Choose one of 16 different monster trucks and tear through 25 different arenas. Along with a Career Mode, Drag Races and Destruction-style events, players can partake in freestyle competitions to pull off wheelies and other stunts. With over 50 elements to customize and independent front and rear wheel control, Monster Truck Championship doesn’t skimp on the realism either.

And of course, the robust track editor and compound will be returning as well.

Mundaun

The premise starts in simple, hand-penciled fashion – your grandfather has died in a fire and you venture back to Mundaun to find out why. The gorgeous aesthetic gives way to a terrifying experience with strange creatures roaming the land. Fear has a tangible effect on the player, causing one to move slower depending on its intensity.

Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch)

Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time was quite the dimension-hopping adventure when it first released for Xbox One and PS4. It had tons of levels, challenges like Flashback levels and N. Verted Mode, and multiple playable characters. While not being quite as successful as N. Sane Trilogy, the sequel gets a new leash on life for the PS5, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch. It releases on March 12^th for those platforms (and later this year for PC), offering 4K/60 FPS gameplay on the Xbox Series X and PS5. Faster loading times, DualSense support for Neo Cortex’s blast and Tawna’s Hookshot, and even Activity Cards on the PS5 are all supported.
