Telltale Games has released new information regarding the upcoming Back To The Future: The Game, including platforms the game will be released on, pre-order information, and more. Included are special “making of” videos featuring interviews with cast and developers of the game.

Back To The Future: The Game will be available on PC and Mac, with versions to be released later for PS3 and iPad. The PC/Mac version is available as a pre-order now for $24.95, and includes a copy of the critically acclaimed game Puzzle Agent, available for download immediately after placing the order. Also, the company will donate $1.00 from every pre-order to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. Lastly, everyone who pre-orders gets access to an insider forum at Telltale site to chat with the team creating the game throughout the process.

Back To The Future: The Game is based on the original movie trilogy award-winning filmmakers Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis. The game itself takes place about 6 months after the third movie, and deals with Marty McFly as he handles his new life with changed parents, then discovers that Doc Brown has vanished.

The story will unfold across five episodes, with a new installment releasing each month as is typical of Telltale’s games. Telltale is creating the game in collaboration with Universal Partnerships & Licensing and film series’ co-creator/co-writer Bob Gale. The games will release soon after the Blu-ray debut and DVD release of the Back to the Future 25th Anniversary Trilogy on October 26, featuring all-new restorations of the classic films.

Three “making of” videos have been posted at the Back To The Future: The Game site with Bob Gale and the game team sharing an inside-look at the production. The video also shows first footage of Christopher Lloyd returning to the role of Doc Brown in the recording studio and talking about his experiences making the game, as well as AJ Locascio, the new (and remarkably accurate) voice of Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox was unable to return as Marty’s voice).
