EA does American McGee's Alice sequel (CVG 20/2/09)

Developer Spicy Horse and EA have reunited for the next chapter in American McGee's Alice. We didn't see that coming.

The game reunites the publisher - which is fast becoming our favourite - with American McGee, the name on the box and designer behind the original game. The new game is in development for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

The original game, in case you weren't around in 2000, is set in a considerably more disturbing rendition of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, where Alice's fantasy world has been corrupted by her insanity... and its time to stab mofos.

"This new project is a dream come true for me and the fans who've kept the Alice flame alive," said McGee. "EA gave us creative latitude and support on the original game which resulted in something beautiful and daring. This trip through the looking glass promises to be even more exciting."

"EA Partners is thrilled to team up with American McGee and Spicy Horse on the next installment of the Alice franchise," added EA Partners GM David DeMartini.

"American McGee's interpretation of Alice was an instant classic, and EA Partners is ready to help him bring his innovative vision for the franchise to even darker, more exciting places."
