EA and Spicy Horse today announced that they have signed a publishing deal for a new title based on the (awesome) American McGee’s Alice. The game reunites EA with American McGee, the creative visionary behind the original game. The game is being developed for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
The game was officially announced at D.I.C.E 2009 (which Will should be covering) and it’s unknown how far along into development right now.
American McGee, the senior creative director at Spicy Horse had this to say about the upcoming title:
This new project is a dream come true for me and the fans who’ve kept the Alice flame alive. 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.
This is really promising to me considering EA lost a bucketload of money due to them switching to a more quality over quantity scheme what with the releases of game like Mirror’s Edge and Dead Space. It good to see that they haven’t panicked about that and thrown out a bunch of games that might have been deemed ‘too hardcore’.
