Activision announced today that Family Guy Back to the Multiverse, the interactive third-person action adventure video game for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, is now available at retail outlets nationwide in North America.
Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse introduces an all-new original story written and voiced by Family Guy talent and influenced by the famous Family Guy season eight episode, “Road to the Multiverse”, where Stewie and Brian travel on an out-of-this-world journey through Quahog’s bizarre parallel universes. Gamers will travel through all-new settings on a mission to save Quahog and stop the destructive schemes of Bertram, Stewie’s nemesis. Playing as either Stewie or Brian, each equipped with unique special weapons and abilities, gamers will encounter an array of Family Guy characters, references and gut-busting jokes. Additionally, fans can share this hilarious experience and invite friends and family to jump into the wild Family Guy world through drop-in/drop-out co-op multiplayer mode and competitive multiplayer challenges.
Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse is now available in North America for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 for a suggested retail price of $59.99, and is rated M (Mature) by the ESRB. Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse will be available in Australia on November 21, and in Europe on November 23.
Amazon.com reveals a new Family Guy title is on the way to consoles later this year.
Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse has a release target and will be published by Activision, but beyond that not much is currently known.
Amazon (via Joystiq) lists both a PS3 and Xbox 360 version, with the pages claiming the title will launch on September 25th of this year.
While players can pre-order the title through the online retailer, no meaningful info or actual confirmation that the game is in fact real has been provided as of yet.
That whole official bit doesn’t appear to be stopping anyone these days anyhow; we’ll share more facts on the game as they surface.
