In a blast from the past, and the future, Telltale's Back to the
Future: The Game will debut this Wednesday, December 22. The
five-part season's first episode "It's About Time!" will be
available for PC and Mac platforms. Fans can still get the
critically acclaimed bonus Puzzle Agent game free with their
pre-order from
http://www.backtothefuturegame.com, and Telltale also
donates $1 to the Michael J. Fox Parkinson's Foundation with
each purchase up through the launch. The series will debut on
the PlayStation Network and iPad platforms in early 2011.
Back to the Future: The Game brings the iconic 'Marty McFly',
'Doc Brown' and the DeLorean Time Machine together in a
completely new cinematic adventure, which unfolds over five
exciting episodes. Six months after the events of the third
film, the DeLorean Time Machine mysteriously returns to Hill
Valley. 'Marty' must go back in time and recruit aid from a
resistant teenage 'Emmett Brown', or else the space-time
continuum will be forever unraveled. Back to the Future: The
Game features the likenesses of the original stars that made the
characters of 'Marty McFly' and 'Doc Brown' legendary: Michael
J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd. Lloyd is voicing 'Doc Brown' for
the full game series.
Bob Gale, the co-creator and co-writer of the landmark films
says, "Telltale's Back to the Future game is the first videogame
in the space-time continuum to be truly worthy of being called
'Back to the Future.' This new adventure of 'Marty McFly' and
'Doc Brown' is true to the spirit of the movies and I couldn't
be happier about the great working relationship I've developed
with the team at Telltale. Via the game, the player gets to
explore and experience more about the history of our characters
and Hill Valley... along with some very interesting alternate
time lines. It's a game for people who loved the movies, made by
people who loved the movies."
"It's a testament to the commitment and creative energy of our
team that Telltale can deliver high-quality gaming experiences
with such a timely schedule," said Dan Connors, Telltale Games
CEO. "And what a great way to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of
this all time great franchise."
"Back to the Future is one of the true gems of the Universal
Pictures library," said Bill Kispert, Vice President and General
Manager, Digital Platforms, Universal Partnerships & Licensing.
"The collaboration with the talented team at Telltale Games and
Bob Gale was fantastic, and we are excited to deliver all-new
interactive adventures to fans of the franchise."
Telltale will also offer Back to the Future: The Game with
complete voice and text translations for German language
speakers, as well as a version with French text localization.
The German language version will be available from Deutsche
Telekom AG's gaming platform Gamesload (http://www.gamesload.de),
as well as from
telltalegames.com and Steam. The channels will share more
information on localized versions as they prepare for release.
