EA is late, late, for a very important date.
McGee has in recent years made his intentions clear and public: He wants to make a third game, Alice: Asylum, and has a Patreon dedicated to funding the game's development
). Thing is, though, the game isn't actually in development: It's still in pre-production. McGee released a draft script for the game back in 2021, but now he's gone all-in on trying to get old publishing partner EA interested in funding it.), which is currently only available to Patreon subscribers but should unlock for everyone at some point today, along with some gorgeous concept art, design notes, and mock-ups of how the game will look.
Then there's a rather naked plea to EA to send us a big cheque, please. At the end of the video EA's logo appears above the text"Let’s make impossible things happen… together." This strikes me as the developer equivalent of texting your ex in the small hours asking why they haven't returned those missed calls.
The positive element of this is that the video does announce a development partner for the nascent project, Virtuos, which is a studio that does a lot of porting and support work but has worked on some seriously big titles. Most notably it was behind the excellent PC port of Horizon: Forbidden West, but it's also worked on titles including Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and XCOM 2.
I adore the Alice books, to the extent I have a few illustrations on my walls and have mercilessly read it over and over to my kids, and always had a lot of time for McGee's weird and ooky-spooky take on one of the true classics of children's literature. As games, they may leave a lot to be desired, but the art design has always been phenomenal and taps into the unsettling and sinister threads that run through its inspiration. I'd love to see a third one.
