If you never played American McGee’s Alice then you almost definitely played Alice: Madness Returns (and if you didn’t play yourself, you absolutely watched PewDiePie play it in 2013). The cult classic games are a firm favourite amongst fans, and they’ve been crying out for a new Alice game for years now.
Luckily for Alice fans, it’s been confirmed by McGee that a new game is in the works, and now it’s got a title – Alice: Asylum.
On McGee’s site the blog states: “American is hard at work on design, art, and story for the next chapter in Alice’s adventures. ‘Alice: Asylum’ will present the story before “American McGee’s Alice,” with young Alice fighting through the trauma of losing her family.”

What would you like to see from a new addition to the Alice franchise?
I love American McGee’s Alice, the puzzles and challenging bosses <3
Alice Madness Returns has an incredible story but disappointed me in content.. I hope the new game is more like American Mcgee’s Alice 🙂— Dih (@Dih_LM) January 30, 2019
