Currently titled The Return of American McGee's Alice, the game is still in pre-production and "won't be completed for some time." The game is in development for the PC, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.

"This new project is a dream come true for me and the fans who've kept the Alice flame alive," said American McGee, senior creative director at Spicy Horse. "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."

"EA Partners is thrilled to team up with American McGee and Spicy Horse on the next installment of the Alice franchise," said David DeMartini, senior vice president and general manager of EA Partners. "American McGee's interpretation of Alice was an instant classic, and EA Partners is ready to help him bring his innovative vision for the franchise to even darker, more exciting places."

What are you hoping for from this game? A rework of the original? New ground broken? Multiplayer?

American McGee's new Spicy Horse Studios is on the hunt for a "dark cartoon" concept artist for their upcoming game based on the dark side of Grimm's Fairy Tales. The ad calling for talent showed up on McGee's Flickr photo gallery a few days ago and was spotted by Kotakuite, Joe. It outlines the types of styles they are looking for which is dark and spooky as opposed to bloody and gory. The list of applicable influences include the likes of Tim Burton, Tim Biskup, Dave McKean, Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are and McGee's own Alice. You can send your appropriately creepy samples or links to ken@spicyhorse.com.
