It’s been nearly six years since American McGee said he wanted to make a third game in the Alice franchise, and since he shared some information regarding the game, called Alice: Madhouse It’s been over four years, so some of you may hope to see something important from it soon. Well, I have important news, but they are not good.
mackie in hisPatreonTwitter shared some disappointing news, as his latest post reveals that EA has decided not to fund the production of Alice: Madhouse. The big publisher also didn’t want to sell him the license, which meant plans for a third Alice game fell through. To quote McKee:
“We’ve exhausted all options for making a new Alice game. With these answers from EA, there’s no other way forward for the project. As such, we’re hibernating this Patreon page and associated pre-production activity. Content will remain the same , but we will no longer offer the option to fund work on Alice: Asylum through this (or any other) platform.
This was obviously a heavy blow to him and the team, which is probably one of the reasons why he took the opportunity to announce that he was taking at least a long break from the gaming industry – and even made it sound like retirement. Even if EA decides to make a third Alice game, McKee said he doesn’t want to be a part of it.An interesting statement, because if EA didn’t make a new Alice game, if/when the TV show airsThis would be very surprising.
