Some bad news for Alice: Madness Returns fans, as creator American McGee has said that a proposal for a new game has been rejected.

In a new Patreon post from American McGee titled “End of the Adventure,” the creator of the cult classic series has shared the news that fans shouldn’t expect a new game, as EA has rejected any potential sequel. McGee set up the Patreon in order to help fund a design bible for Alice: Asylum, the hypothetical sequel, which he’s built up over the past few years. However, according to McGee’s post, EA has rejected funding a sequel.

“After several weeks of review, EA has come back with a response regarding funding and/or licensing for Alice: Asylum,” reads the post. “On 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. On the question of licensing, they replied that Alice is an important part of EA’s overall game catalogue, and selling or licensing it isn’t something they’re prepared to do right now.”
