Back to the Future: The Game dated

The first chapter in Telltale Games' Back to the Future will launch on PC and Mac on Wednesday 22nd December.

Five chapters are planned, each featuring Marty and Doc. Following next week's release, Telltale will launch chapters in February, March, and April. The series finale is without a release window.

Telltale has called on Back to the Future screenwriter Bob Gale to help bring the videogame storyline to life. What's more, actor Christopher Lloyd reprises his iconic performance as inventor Doc. AJ Locascio plays the role of Marty McFly.

PlayStation Network and iPad versions are planned. The series will not, however, come to Nintendo's Wii. An Xbox 360 version is notable for its absence, too.
