McGee has now confirmed that the dream is dead, as publisher EA won\u2019t fund the game, while also it also refuses the sell or license the series, calling it an \u201cimportant\u201d part of its library, according to McGee.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter several weeks of review, EA has come back with a response regarding funding and\/or licensing for \u2018Alice: Asylum\u2019,\u201d American McGee writes on Patreon. \u201cOn the question of funding, they have ultimately decided to pass on the project based on an internal analysis of the IP, market conditions, and details of the production proposal.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the question of licensing, they replied that \u2018Alice\u2019 is an important part of EA\u2019s overall game catalog, and selling or licensing it isn\u2019t something they\u2019re prepared to do right now.<\/p>\n

According to McGee, both the Patreon page and pre-production of Alice: Asylum will enter hibernation at this stage, as \u201cwith those answers from EA, there is no other way forward with the project.\u201d<\/p>\n

After Alice: Madness Returns was abruptly removed and readded to Steam due to what McGee believed at the time was an innocent mistake, talk of the cult classic series\u2019 return has been at an all-time high.<\/p>\n

McGee also uses the Patreon post to highlight all the \u201camazing artists and designers\u201d who were funded to help bring Alice: Asylum to life, but McGee adds that he\u2019s done with the series, and game production in general.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have no other ideas or energy left to apply toward getting a new Alice game made,\u201d McGee writes. \u201cNor do I have any interest in pursuing new game ideas within the context of the current environment for game development.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf someone does manage to convince EA to make \u2018Asylum,\u2019 I would like to make clear that, from this point forward, I have no desire to be involved with that or any other Alice-related development.\u201d<\/p>\n

While you can still check out what Alice: Asylum\u2019s narrative outline was going to be, this looks to be it for the fantasy game. Even though Alice: Asylum looks to be lost, you can check out all the upcoming PC games of this year and beyond, and maybe something will fill that void.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
