Evil Genius 2 Adds Team Fortress 2’s Pyro As DLC

While Evil Genius 2 is definitely an out-of-the-box type of game, a crossover with Team Fortress 2 was not something we expected. Evil Genius 2 is a base-building strategy game where you take on the role of, well, an evil genius and deploy traps, guards, and other items to stop would-be heroes in their tracks. Today, Rebellion Developments announced two new pieces of DLC with a free pack adding Team Fortress 2’s Pyro as a henchman you can deploy against your enemies. Both new DLC for Evil Genius 2 drops today and we have all the details of what each has inside.

Rise of the Pyro Valkyrie

Evil Genius 2 was a surprise hit amongst fans of the genre and the first game because of its quirky characters, presentation, and solid gameplay. The game did release two DLC packs previously that weren’t met with as positive of a welcome so the studio is definitely hoping to turn things around. The two new DLC packs dropping today are the aforementioned Team Fortress 2: Pyro Pack and the Rise of the Valkyrie Pack. The Rise of the Valkyrie pack is included in the season pass if you picked that up at launch but costs $4.99 USD if you haven’t. Here are a few more details.

Team Fortress 2: Pyro Pack Contents

• New Henchman Pyro. Pyro burns people, things, furniture, and whatever else is in his way. It’s kind of in his name. However, Evil Genius 2 adds an ability to also squelch fires with a puff of compressed air which adds some utility to what is otherwise a very destruction-based Henchman.
• Accompanying Side Story objectives to recruit Pyro
•  Three Loot Items will be added: Briefcase of Australium, Briefcase of Intelligence, Payload

Rise of the Valkyrie Pack Contents ($4.99)

• New Henchman Doomhilda. Doomhilda’s gimmick is her legendary voice. Once you manage to defeat her in battle, she brings with her the ability to freeze enemies with her voice or buff her comrades.
• Accompanying Side Story objectives to recruit Doomhilda
