The long-awaited third installment of the hit action-adventure franchise 'Alice' will soon be in development.
EA announced today that Alice: Madness Returns, shipping on June 14, will include a one-time-use Online Pass registration code (for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360) that gives players access to the. Jun 14, 2011 Alice: Madness Returns is a video game directed by American McGee and developed by Spicy Horse and published by Electronic Arts on June 14, 2011 in North America, June 16 in Europe, and July 21 in Japan for the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Madness Returns crosses genres such as action-adventure, platforming, and fantasy horror.
On his official blog, game designer American McGee, the mind behind the successful video games, revealed that he will 'start work on a proposal for the next chapter in Alice's adventures' this month.
He went on to say that 'Alice 3' currently has the working title 'Alice: Asylum,' which, at the outset, promises a new round of insanity and mayhem for players to go through.
McGee detailed his plans for the game in the blog, saying that there will be some approval needed before 'Alice 3' development officially takes off:
This proposal will include artwork, design outline, and financial/business model. When this proposal is finished (and assuming all the numbers and constraints make sense), it'll be sent to [Electronic Arts] EA.
Whatever EA's verdict will be should determine where this project goes and so McGee promises to provide updates to fans of the 'Alice 3' development through his social media accounts. In fact, he is doing a weekly livestream where players can ask him questions about the upcoming title.
For those who do not know, 'Alice' is a third-person psychological horror-action video game series that was launched in 2000 and serves as an unofficial sequel to the 'Alice' novels by Lewis Carroll.
The games feature a more macabre version of a much older Alice. It was only in 2011 that a sequel titled 'Alice: Madness Returns' saw the light of day. It is currently the theme of McGee's livestreams. Set 11 years after the fire that killed her family and left her mind horribly scarred, the sequel was also well-received by gamers.
Prior to this, McGee started a successful Kickstarter campaign for his table-top card game 'Out of the Woods' featuring traditional fairytales. Set to come out in 2018, it will be released as an illustrated coloring book and art collection as well.
Alice: Madness Returns will launch on 14th June, EA has announced.
Maker American McGee put a ring on it at the Game Developers Conference yesterday.
American McGee's Alice was published on PC 10 years ago by EA. A decade on and EA is ready for a sequel; American McGee himself unveiled Alice: Madness Returns at a publisher showcase during the summer last year.
