Developer American McGee has made a career out of taking classic children’s tales and turning them into dark and stylish games. Well, it appears that McGee and his Spicy Horse team plan to add yet another iconic character to their reimagining ranks, which already includes Alice from Alice in Wonderland, and a wide array of characters from the Grimm’s Fairytales. And that character is Little Red Riding Hood.
McGee posted a couple pieces of concept art for the game on his Flickr page (via Games Watch), and explained that he’ll be pitching the game, which appears to be called Red, at this year’s Game Developers Conference next week.
“If we’re lucky,” McGee continued, “an interested publisher will help us move it into production. It’s an idea that Ken Wong and I have been toying with for years.”
I love the morbid nature of his games. There were viral videos of an American McGee Alice 2 which stirred the masses in a frenzy like a drop of blood in water. Plus, chopping up things with a huge ax is therapeutic. Here’s to hoping his new Red Riding Hood project will be picked up at the conference!

I am so, so, so, SO excited about this. Best news of 2010 to date!
The concept art looks awesome! I hope this happens.
