Back to the Future adventure series confirmed for iPad

Telltale Games has confirmed that episodic adventure series Back to the Future will be released for iPad.

Originally announced for consoles and PC, our own Rumour Miner had prognosticated that the adventure series would find its way onto iPad soon.

Details on gameplay are scarce, but developer Telltale Games has revealed tantalising information on who is working on the high profile project.

Steven Spielberg is credited as an executive producer on the series, as is screenwriter for the three films Bob Gale. Christopher Lloyd, famous for his memorable depiction of Doc Brown in the Back to the Future movies, is lending his voice to the series.

Five episodes are planned, though it isn't clear if these will strictly follow the plots laid out by the movies or if they will introduce new stories.

Currently, there are no plans to release the game for iPhone and iPod touch; however, Telltale Games insists that Back to the Future will be available for iPad "this winter."
