EA‘s announced release dates for two of their upcoming darker titles at GDC — Spicy Horse’s Alice: Madness Returns and Grasshopper Manufacture‘s Shadows of the Damned. Both games will arrive in June.
Shadows of the Damned comes first on June 7. The game tells the story of demon hunter Garcia Hotspur, who travels into the depths of hell to save the love of his life. The third-person shooter is in development at Suda 51-headed studio, Grasshopper Manufacture, who’s maniacal creations include No More Heroes and Killer 7. A new trailer of the game should release soon.
Alice: Madness Returns comes a week later on June 14. The game is a sequel to the cult classic American McGee’s Alice. Taking place ten years after the first game, it follows Alice through a dark and twisted wonderland, unlike any you’ve ever seen before.
We’ll have previews for both Alice and Shadows go live on March 8. Stay tuned.
