Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse Officially Announced

Activision has today confirmed that Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse is indeed real, as previously outed by Amazon, although details like release dates, a developer and what kind of game it is are still being kept firmly under wraps for the time being.

All that's currently known about the game is the involvement of the show's voice cast and writers on the project, and that it'll include some of the "most iconic and memorable moments" from the hit TV show.

"Fans of Family Guy will love that we've taken some of the series' most iconic and memorable moments and built them into an impressive and uncensored video game," said Activision Executive VP David Oxford. "Anyone who watches the show will appreciate how much we have adhered to its rich and twisted universe and characters."

Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse is scheduled for launch this autumn.

I grantee this is going to be made up of 100% recycled material from the show. Just activision cashing in on a popular brand.

@1 Activision shouldn't be the only one blamed, Seth Green has been recycling material for about 4-5 years now. I'll still rent this if it's retail or buy it on XBLA when it is a DOTY.

Who cares, I love Family Guy & I love games. Why do people complain about these things? "Oh no, I'm so angry they have relseased a game that I don't have to even buy, that is based on a show that I don't even watch but many others do & actually enjoy" Yes, that's brilliant logic.

Yeah, the majority of the comments on this site, regardless of the story or game all boil down to the same thing: people pissing and moaning like whiny little bitches.

Lol @ the haters. Wasting their time commenting on stuff they done like.

Anyway, I'll be looking forward to this game. Should be a bunch of fun and mad humour involved.

The PS2 game was actually quite good if any of you whiners actually even knew it existed.. I have faith they can recreate something like that again and be fun to play. If you disagree, you can do two things, nothing or cry.

@1: That's okay, every episode of the show is 100% recycled material from the pilot anyway. It would be wrong of Activision to use new material for this game, as that would be unfitting of the Family Guy brand.

@16: No, I'm hating on Family Guy because I've watched it and it sucks. And assuming people hate things because it's popular to hate them rather than because they've actually tried it and legitimately hated it is also so 2007...

If Seth MacFarlane has his head in it, it'll probably be good. Anyone else here think uncensored means "adults only" 18+ rating?

@15.. Yeah. I always get the names mixed up. Seth Green is Chris' voice and Robot Chicken creator.. Seth Macfarlane is the Family Guy creator.

For the record I like Family Guy and American Dad (Cleveland Show sucks), I just think his humor has been a bit repetitive the past few seasons.

In case anyone is wondering (and has written the show off), the show is still going strong and still really, really funny. They just did a spoof on the Liam Neeson movie Taken and it was hilarious. Stop being so negative, especially BEFORE any screenshots or THE GENRE HAS EVEN BEEN ANNOUNCED! Sheesh.

You know guys, it's okay for people to have different opinions. Not everyone LIKES Family Guy and it's OKAY for them to express that here, just like how Call of Duty news is always filled with hate comments. You're all being just as obnoxious by telling everyone that doesn't like it to go away.

Personally, I think the show has gotten pretty stale lately, but maybe the game will bring me back to the series similar to how they did The Simpsons game back in 2007. Here's hoping!

Family Guy was pretty funny at first but ever since Fox brought it back it's gone downhill. Save for a moment here and there (Disney universe, Quagmire telling Brian why he doesn't like him) the show just isn't that great.

As for this game, I have a feeling it's going to be nothing special.

@19 then let's go with the point of why the hell do you bother coming onto an article for a game based on a show that you don't like just to whine? HOW DOES IT EVEN EFFECT YOU? The answer is it does not in any way shape or form, so why not just ignore it?

OT: As was previously stated, as long as this is similar to Simpsons: Hit and Run it will be gold.

So family Guy is doing what they have been doing all along copying South Park, I can't believe the idiots who think Family Guy is even funny cause it's not. I'll be waiting for the South Park game screw Family Guy no talent hacks.

If its anything like Simpson's Hit and Run I will love it. Not really that into Family Guy anymore but you never know, it could be pretty good.

I agree with @6 Simpsons hit and run would make this game perfect.
