Time Travel Returns: New ‘Back to the Future’ Video Game on the Horizon!

by

Even though the final movie from the series came out in 1990, the impact of Back to the Future on pop culture has been remarkable and enduring. The trilogy, helmed by director Robert Zemeckis and produced by Steven Spielberg, stands out as both nostalgic and forward-thinking in its science fiction narrative, with an uncanny resemblance to a present-day world leader adding to its intrigue. Furthermore, the onscreen collaboration between Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox, who starred at the heart of these films, remains exceptional and continues to resonate powerfully whenever they reunite for special occasions.

he mentioned to Cleveland.com that a video game based on the franchise is currently in development.

We’ve got an exciting opportunity to create a fresh video game inspired by ‘Back to the Future.’ I can’t reveal too much as I’m bound by rules, but it’s something I’ve longed to work on. Fingers crossed that it comes to fruition! Interestingly, 2025 marks the 40th anniversary of the original film. We’re brainstorming special events related to this milestone, and there’s a behind-the-scenes documentary about the musical in the works.

This Won’t Be the First ‘Back to the Future’ Video Game

I’ve always been captivated by the world of “Back to the DeLorean.” Over the years, numerous video games based on the movies have surfaced, gracing consoles like the NES, Atari, and Super Famicom. More recently, my admiration for this franchise was reignited with the intriguing narrative game adaptation from TellTale, which unfolded after the events of the third film. With Christopher Lloyd lending his voice to Doc Brown once more, and Michael J. Fox surprising us with a new character, the game delves into an engaging tale about embracing the present moment.

As we inch closer to the 40th anniversary of the iconic “Back to the Future” films, I find myself eagerly anticipating the upcoming video game that’s currently in production. Given Gale’s penchant for keeping things under wraps, it’s tantalizing to speculate whether this new project could be a continuation of the beloved trilogy, similar to what TellTale Games did. However, with so much still unknown at this stage, we can only wait and see. Nonetheless, Gale’s expressed enthusiasm about this venture has certainly piqued my interest in what promises to be fresh and engaging “Back to the Future” content.

The technology in video games has significantly advanced since the last movie-based game was released, allowing for an exceptional gaming experience if developed by a skilled studio. Previous adaptations, like Bethesda Games’ latest title “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle“, demonstrate the potential for continued game development. A game that maintains the essence of the Back to the Future series while incorporating innovative gameplay could be truly extraordinary.
