Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse Getting Co-Op and Multiplayer

Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse

Written Thursday, May 31, 2012 By Lee Bradley

Activision has revealed details for Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse.

Expanding on the Road to the Multiverse episode of the animated comedy, you play as either Stewie or Brian, each of whom have unique abilities and weapons.

In the game you’ll fight Family Guy characters in levels themed around the Multiverse. The antagonist is Bertram, Stewie's evil twin. The little blighter wants to destroy Quahog.

Beyond that, we still don’t know much. Activision didn't expand on the co-op and multiplayer levels, merely saying that they’ll have a Family Guy "twist.” Indeed, the entire game is intended to "tap into the core components of the Family Guy spirit.”

As such, the game is rated 18. It's out this autumn.

	If it is going to be a co-op as The Simpsons game I might think about it.

	Co-op is a welcome addition and a smart move too!

	I'm not going to be convinced without some gameplay/screenshots so as of yet it's most likely a no buy for me, waiting for e3.

	Stewies half brother is Bertram not Betram. I will consider this as it has co op and multiplayer, should be fun with some friends.

	And yet we still don't even have a screen shot or gameplay? Out this fall and nothing yet? I won't hold my breath. Family Guy is one of my favorite shows, but I won't cash in just for the name like Activision wants.

	Tentative. I'm wishing this game to be fantastic, and a well place MP/Co-op could make it so. But I'm holding out just incase.

	I honestly don't know why, but as I read through the comments, I read almost all of them in Peter's voice.

	Hopefully we'll get a game based on Archer next. Nobody can say that that wouldn't be totally ninja
