American McGee Makes a Comeback with a New Wonderland-Inspired Project

In the spring of 2023, renowned game designer **American McGee** [*left the gaming industry*](https://stopgame.ru/newsdata/57755/ea_ne_vypustit_alice_asylum_a_amerikan_makgi_uydet_iz_industrii) due to disappointment over **Electronic Arts**’ refusal to allow him to develop *Alice: Asylum*. Nevertheless, a couple of years later, the creator [*announced his intention to return*](https://x.com/americanmcgee/status/2005817882811240822) with a new project inspired by «Alice in Wonderland.»

Before the fans of «Alice» start celebrating, it’s important to clarify that the upcoming game is based on **Plushie Dreadfuls**—McGee’s original plush toy brand featuring adorable creatures that embody various emotions and mental health issues. One of the toys is, of course, [*a nod to Alice herself*](https://plushiedreadfuls.com/products/victorian-mcgees-alice-bunny?variant=47274162913512).

Details about the future game are still scarce. What is known is that McGee has already assembled a team of developers who are currently working on a demo. It can also be speculated that the title will incorporate platforming elements, as the world design prominently features [*floating islands*](https://x.com/americanmcgee/status/2010293209222811832).

There is no set release date for the demo yet. In his announcement of the return, McGee expressed gratitude to his fans in Japan, who have been very supportive and have shared their own creativity inspired by «Alice.»
