A little birdie (Thanks Imperator) told me that Rogue Entertainment, most recently responsible for Alice was having some troubles keeping things going. I emailed the CEO of Rogue, Barret Alexander. Rogue and EA worked together to get Alice out the door. After Alice shipped they of course move on to their next project, preferably staying with EA as their publisher. EA canned their project though, doh.

Barret says: "It is true that our latest project was cancelled with Electronic Arts, however we have other options available at this time."

EA is notorious for offering developers an IP to do a game (while retaining ownership of that IP). What I am assuming happened here is that during the completion of Alice, EA offered Rogue another project. Rogue accepted the project and began working on it. EA changed their mind about the project due to market conditions or how they felt the project was going. This leaves Rogue high and dry. No project, and nothing new they can even show to other publishers most likely unless they have been working on another project outside of their EA deal.

How frickin' typical... yet another example as to why big publishers are never to be trusted.

Whoops.. quote was screwed.
