Alice: Madness Returns (EA trademarks title)

EA Trademarks Name For Next American McGee's Alice | GayGamer.net

Quote:

This may be a minor spot of news compared to the rest of the aftershocks from E3, but for some of our more gothically-minded readers, it could be among the best news to come from the last few weeks.

Early last year we found out about a new sequel to American McGee's Alice, the PC retelling from ten years ago which delighted fans with its twisted look at an already bizarre children's tale. Then in November, VorpalBunny showed us the teaser video which proved EA has still been hard at work on the title.

Today, we can tell you that - despite E3 passing with nary a glance through the looking glass - the sequel is still coming in 2011. Furthermore, EA filed a trademark last week for a nicely pertinent name: Alice: Madness Returns.

So while we still don't have a release date or any indication on the narrative other than "Alice had a relapse," we now at least know what to call it. If it's truly on schedule, we should be able to pass along some better details further along in the year!

Alice sequel teaser trailer (stop motion animation possibly made by a fan)

Trailer is not made by a fan. It is an actual teaser.

thejobloshow · 06-30-2010, 09:04 PM

That's a cool trailer - I didn't really get into Alice when it first came out because even though the style was amazing, it was essentially the same old 3D jump and run schtick as all those Tomb Raider clones "back in the day". But with today's technology and innovations - if they expand the gameplay into something as cinematic as that teaser then I'll be down for that.

Some screenshots have surfaced...

Monolith · 07-20-2010, 03:20 PM

Looks great in my opinion. Based on the conceptual art I've seen while attending the offices, the screenshots do them a lot of justice. Beautifully dark.

Intrepid Homoludens · 07-20-2010, 05:31 PM

Darkly delicious.

kuze · 07-20-2010, 06:07 PM

Two words: fuck yes.

*Fantasysci5* · 07-20-2010, 06:21 PM

Wow, that picture Intrepid posted is amazing. I love the dark tone. I never got into the original, since I'm not very good at action games, but the dark plot always interested me.

DustyShinigami · 07-21-2010, 12:31 AM

At least this version of Alice will be much better and darker than Tim Burton's *cough* darker *cough* adaption.

DustyShinigami · 07-21-2010, 02:58 PM

A 30 second teaser trailer and a short interview with American McGee and the executive producer.

You need to get it right away that's an order

Can't wait for this one, these screenshots make me want to play the original so bad, was one of my favourite interpretation of the Alice stories. I may have to go an dig it out.

silent_m · 07-22-2010, 12:38 PM

Wow, the trailer is amazing, and the screenshots leave me salivating for more. Can't wait for this one!
