Alice: Madness Returns Revealed

During their Summer Showcase, EA revealed Alice: Madness Returns.

American McGee waltzed up on stage to debut the dark and deranged sequel to the PC hit release a decade ago. The Spicy Horse Games developed title will follow Alice on “a journey through a wildly corrupted and shattered Wonderland to uncover the truth behind her haunted past and tortured psyche as players will romp through highly detailed elaborate worlds, encounter a cast of off-beat characters and engage in epic battles with deadly weapons and sinister villains.”

In an odd twist, Alice: Madness Returns will take place ten years after the conclusion of the original game – which is only slightly ruined as it is set for release next year not this.

“Alice is a classic fiction, infinitely rich with memorable characters, places and experiences. Our approach to Alice: Madness Returns takes this colorful world and reinvents it with psychotic personalities and pervasive insanity,” said American McGee, Spicy Horse Games Co-Founder and Senior Creative Director. “We can’t wait to share our vision with Alice in Wonderland fans and gamers around the world.”

“In 2000, we launched a cult hit on the PC with American McGee’s Alice. Ten years later, I’m pleased to announce American is back on board leading the top-rate talent at Spicy Horse Games to create this sequel,” said David DeMartini, Senior Vice President and General Manager of EA Partners. “The Alice in Wonderland fiction continues to be a fan favorite all over the world. We can’t wait for them to experience the next chapter with Alice: Madness Returns.”

Alice: Madness Returns will be available in 2011 for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
