Alice: Madness Returns to include original game

American McGee’s confirmed that this summer’s Alice: Madness Returns will ship with a code to download the original 2000 PC platformer – on all formats.

“There’s also going to be pretty significant release, the original Alice brought over to the consoles, so that a person who’s purchased Madness Returns gets a download code and is able to play through the entire original game alongside playing Madness Returns,” said the developer, speaking to CVG.

McGee added that other DLC will also be provided as new clothing for Alice.

“There will be DLC in the form of dresses that the player can download and Alice can wear,” he said. “Those dresses come with special abilities and enhance how you play through the game.”

The original Alice was a surprise hit on PC, selling more than 1.5 million copies.

It’s releasing for PC, 360 and PS3 on June 14. Check out Keza’s recent chat with American here.

That’s excellent! I hoped they might do something with the original, but now to see they actually are, not only that even, but they’re bringing the original Alice to consoles for so many more to enjoy is the best!
