From the official site:
Eleven years ago a horrific fire took Alice’s family from her and left her terribly burned—and her mind terribly scarred. Afterwards she was confined to Rutledge Asylum, struggling to come to terms with her demons by slipping into her fantasy world of Wonderland. Now, after ten years, she has finally secured her release--yet she still bears the heavy psychological burden of that tragic event.
In Alice: Madness Returns, Alice is released from the asylum to a London psychiatrist’s care. As nightmarish hallucinations continue to haunt her and invade her reality, she seeks to understand her torment in order to recover herself. Her mind in tatters, she is unable to resolve the fear and neuroses prompted by her strange memories, dreams, and visions. Her relocation to London seems only to add to their number and intensity.
Perhaps she’ll do better in Wonderland. She always has. She travels there, seeking what the “real” world can’t provide: security, knowledge, and the truth about the past. But in her absence, Wonderland too has suffered. Something has gone horribly wrong, and now a great evil is descending upon what once was her beautiful refuge.
Can Alice save Wonderland—and herself—from the madness that consumes them both?
You can lose your head in Wonderland in June 14th, 2011.
Available on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
NEW INFO: New game copies will include a DLC code for the first Alice game. The game includes achievements (trophies too?) for beating the original game, here is the achievement list.
New info provided by rewak, thanks!
Also announced is a digital download only Complete Collection bundle for PC including the game, DLC pack including new dresses and weapons, and the remastered HD version of the first game. It's available through EA's online store. Console copies come with a code to download the first game but you'll probably have to pay for the DLC dresses/weapons and physical copies of the PC version look to be getting none of the extras, they really want you to buy digitally from them if you want the PC version.
The ARTBOOK is out now, though the first pressing has been sold out, and the SOUNDTRACK comes out in a few days. Kinda strange to have these come out before the game since they're pretty big spoilers, especially the artbook.
Also theres a free iPad/iPhone storybook app that re-tells the story of the first game and at the end gives you a discount voucher for the new game that you can use on EA's store. You can also try the standard flash version (without that sexy discount) on Facebook.
