American McGee’s Alice fans have had a hard lot. Despite their demand for a sequel, EA hasn’t really considered completing the trilogy after 2011’s Alice: Madness Returns. American McGee has talked over the years of making a third game, and in 2017, he was working sporadically on a sequel entitled Alice: Asylum. And now, on his blog, McGee states that he intends to step up work in earnest.
“American is hard at work on design, art, and story for the next chapter in Alice’s adventures,” states the post. “Alice: Asylum will present the story before American McGee’s Alice, with young Alice fighting through the trauma of losing her family.” McGee has also mused on Facebook about opening a new development studio in Thailand to work on the game.
Of course, this is still all up to EA to make the final call regarding the game. To that end, McGee says that you, the fans, can do one of four things to bend EA’s ear: Sign a mailing list to show your support for the game to EA, follow American on his social media accounts (for suggestions and direct feedback), support him on the game’s Patreon page where he posts concept art and design ideas for the game, and finally you can purchase items such as t-shirts and art prints from his online shop.
Again, no guarantees (given that it’s EA, after all), but the idea of returning to the world of Alice once again certainly deserves attention.
