Back to the Future turns 30 in 2015, and the year-long anniversary celebration continues in October on PlayStation and Xbox consoles.
It’s not Back to the Future 4 — that’s never happening, sorry. But Telltale Games did deliver the next best thing: a canonical five-episode series that picked up after the events of Back to the Future: Part III. It was released back in 2011, but there’s a new 30th anniversary edition coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on Oct. 13.
In addition to remastered graphics that take advantage of the latest gaming consoles, Back to the Future: The Game — 30th Anniversary Edition includes new voice work from Tom Wilson (who played Biff in both the films and the original game). There’s also a behind-the-scenes video featuring everyone from series producer and co-writer Bob Gale to A.J. LoCascio, the voice of Marty McFly in the game.
Set six months after the trilogy’s final film, the game kicks off with Marty heading back to the Hill Valley of 1931, a time when Prohibition was in full swing and gangsters roamed the streets. Marty’s got to futz around in the past and find a younger Doc Brown in order to save the life of his mad scientist friend.
