Alice and
Bad Day LA creator American McGee has officially announced that his forthcoming fractured fairy-tale game
Grimm will be published as a 24 part episodic series by Turner's GameTap, starting in 2008.
After revealing a number of preview concept art pieces, McGee has announced the first details of the game
on his weblog, which, as expected, will be a retelling of several Brothers Grimm fairy tales with the same dark overtones as his premiere PC game
American McGee's Alice.
Most interestingly, McGee has revealed that Turner's 'all-you-can-eat' game subscription service GameTap will be publishing the title over 24 episodes, much in the same way - but to a far greater extent - as it did the 6 episode
Sam & Max series.
McGee has also said that
Alice head writer and executive producer R.J. Berg will be returning to work on
Grimm in the same roles with McGee and his team at the Shanghai
Spicy Horse studio, which was
first announced late last year.
