Back to the Future and Jurassic Park in Development

Telltale Games will be developing a series of episodic video games based off the Jurassic Park and Back to the Future movie franchises, in a deal with NBC Universal.


Telltale was founded in 2004, consisting of a group of former LucasArts employees who worked on the Monkey’s Island and Sam & Max games. They have produced games based on Wallace & Gromit, Homestar Runner and Tales of Monkey Island.

Telltale Games CEO Dan Connors says that “the games, which are in the early stages of development, would tell new stories extending the “Back to the Future” and “Jurassic Park” lore. He teased that the “Back to the Future” games may include a DeLorean ride back to the 1970s while the “Jurassic Park” games would be intense and add new backstories to the series’ man-versus-dinosaur mythology.

Back to the Future will feature the likeness of Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd. Lloyd will also provide his voice talent in the 5 series episodic release over Xbox LIVE, PSN and PC. The game will be downloadable.
