Along with unveiling Darkspore and NFL Training Camp at its EA Studio Showcase yesterday, Electronic Arts finally gave gamers a look at Alice: Madness Returns, the follow-up to American McGee's third-person action game released in 2000 and based on a twisted version of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

EA showed off this bloody mouthed trailer and revealed some story details behind Madness Returns:

"Alice: Madness Returns takes place 10 years after the conclusion of the original game, with Alice struggling to recover from the emotional trauma of losing her entire family in a fatal fire.

After spending a decade institutionalized in an insane asylum, she is finally released to the care of a psychiatrist who just may be able to help her conquer the nightmarish hallucinations that still haunt her. Alice embarks on a mission to root out the true cause of her family's mysterious death, jumping from a gloomy and stark London to a rich and provocative Wonderland."

McGee's Shanghai-based studio Spicy Horse is developing the title through a deal with EA Partners, and will release Alice: Madness Returns on PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 some time next year. You can see screenshots for the horror/action game after the break.
