Telltale's Back to the Future's release date could have been clever – but it's October 16th

Telltale's upcoming Back to the Future: The Game - 30th Anniversary Edition will be released on October 16th. We feel it's a missed opportunity.

Telltale Games had a subtle, yet great, opportunity to please Back to the Future fans with the upcoming release of Back to the Future: The Game - 30th Anniversary Edition. But instead, it announced its release date as October 13th in North America and October 16th in Europe.

How could it have been better? Well, Doc and Marty travel to 2015 on October 21st, which would arguably have been a better fit. October 21st is a Wednesday, but surely something like this deserves a change to the norm.

The game is set after the events of the third film. Doc Brown has gone missing and the famous DeLorean shows up without a driver.

Back to the Future: The Game - 30th Anniversary Edition will be released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Xbox 360. It will feature voice work from Biff Tannen's original movie actor Tom Wilson, as well as updated textures, and behind-the-scenes footage featuring interviews with Wilson, Telltale, movie trilogy co-writer and producer Bob Gale and the voice of young Marty McFly, AJ LoCascio.

You can see how Back to the Future: The Game's 30th Anniversary Edition is shaping up in the newly released trailer.
