Back To The Future: The Video Game Getting A Sequel?

He is driving down a black asphalt road on a storm-ridden night. There are strips mall to either side of the road. The remaining foliage frenetically stirs in the storms' angry breeze.

He pushes the gas pedal down to the floor, not due to a vehicular addiction for speed. But because this is a matter of life and death. He must reach 85mph. The DeLorean is really pushing it now, a blue electrical current is splintering around the car. The fabrics that weaves the past, present and future is ripping apart and in a blue flash of light 1955 appears. Holy Marty McFly.

According to a recent report on GameSpot, Christopher Lloyd recently revealed at a FanExpo in Toronto that he will be reprising his role as the loony time traveling professor Doc Brown in an unannounced new game in the Telltale produced "Back to the Future" video game series.

Telltale Games' Back to the Future: The Game was developed through a licensing deal with Universal Partnerships & Licensing and continues the adventures of Marty McFly and Doc Brown. The game reunites the film's creators and several actors in a story-driven, episodic video game.

The first five episodes, included It's About Time, Get Tannen, Citizen Brown, Double Visions, and Outatime. The series features the likenesses of the films' central characters Marty McFly and Doc Brown, with Christopher Lloyd reprising his film role of Doc Brown and voice actor A. J. Locascio admirably stepping in for Michael J. Fox, as Marty McFly.

The episodic game acts as a sequel to the hit trilogy, taking place six months after the events of the third film. According to the game's official description, "Marty must go back n time and get aid from a resistant teenage Emmett Brown, or else the space time continuum will forever be unraveled."

The Back to the Future series was the Telltale's most successful franchise at the time of its release and many of the team that worked on the games including voice actor Locascio have expressed interest in returning to the series at some point.

"You know where it leaves us, it just makes me want to see where the next adventure is," said Locascio in a short documentary about the series finale.

Hopefully gamer will be able to lace-up their futuristic Airforce ones and hop on their hover-board for another few episodes of Back to the Future: the Game.
