Xbox Gaming in South Africa

American McGee, the creative mind behind Spicy Horse's upcoming Alice: Madness Returns, has revealed that the original Alice - released on PC back in 2000 - will be made available as a free download to those who purchase the sequel later this year.

"There will be DLC in the form of dresses that the player can download and Alice can wear," said McGee in an interview with CVG. "Those dresses come with special abilities and enhance how you play through the game. There's also going to be pretty significant release which is 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 bring Alice 1 onto their console and play through the entire original game alongside playing Madness Returns."

It's not yet clear whether the free game download will be included in all editions or perhaps only in a special edition, but console gamers will surely appreciate the chance to play the original Alice game which garnered much praise on the PC.

Alice: Madness Returns is set to climb out of the rabbit hole this June, so we won't have to wait much longer to find out.
