Back to the Future videogame announced as episodic content by Telltale

Back to the Future videogames coming from Telltale
New Back to the Future videogames are coming thanks to Telltale Games! In a new deal with Universal, the company will be creating interactive entertainment based on the classic sci-fi time-traveling trilogy.

This follows on the heels of the news that Telltale is making Jurassic Park videogames as well! Is there no movie property classic film property that’s safe?! What’s next? The Goonies?! In this case, their good hands so hopefully the games will turn out good.

Although it’s not exactly stated, it is assumed that the Back to the Future games will be episodic adventure games, which is what Telltale is known for.

They will be releasing this Winter 2010 for PC, Mac, Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3!

“Jurassic Park and Back to the Future are two of our broadest and most beloved properties,” said Bill Kispert, interactive vice president at Universal Studios. “We were very interested in bringing them into the interactive space, but they’re not exactly the kind of properties that lend themselves to the stereotypical shoot-’em-up style of gameplay.”

Telltale CEO Dan Connors added: “Telltale Games has always set out to be a great storytelling company. We’ve been honing our chops over the past six years, and we’re ready to take on these two iconic properties and continue to advance storytelling in games. The games are going to exist within these worlds. I wouldn’t call these games sequels per se but a new interpretation of their worlds for a new medium. For one generation, it’s an introduction to these series. For another generation, it’s a thing they can look back on and something they can share warmly with their family and friends.”
