Activision partners with Fox to develop Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse

Yet another Family Guy game will be coming to consoles later this year, as part of a partnership between Activision and Twentieth Century Fox. The new deal will have a game based on the popular "Back to the Multiverse" episode become a reality. The episode involves Brian and Stewie traveling to alternate universes using a remote control.

"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 David Oxford, executive vice president, Activision. "Anyone who watches the show will appreciate how much we have adhered to its rich and twisted universe and characters."

"With Activision at the helm, we've found a world class partner for a Family Guy console video game," said Jeffrey Godsick, president of Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products. "Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse will utilize the source material, including the talented voice cast and writers, authentic humor and subversive spirit of the series, giving fans a whole new way to interact with their favorite show."

The game is expected to launch later in the year, and will feature the voice cast from the show. It's the first game based on Family Guy since 2006, when 2K Games published Family Guy Video Game!, a title that wasn't well received. Perhaps Activision will have better luck with the license than Take-Two.
