Moises Naves, a movie fan with a knack for bringing cinematic worlds to life, has poured his heart into a stunning Unreal Engine 5 update that puts the Back to the Future universe in a whole new light.
Hundreds of upgrades make this version worth checking out, including sharper graphics, smoother performance, and a trove of new details. The Hill Valley town square comes alive, thanks to the clock tower’s weathered bricks and rain-slicked streets. We can’t forget the extremely detailed DeLorean either, one that captures every shimmer of the iconic time machine, ready to hit 88 miles per hour.
Back to the Future has had its share of gaming adventures, each leaving its own mark. Back in 2010, Telltale Games dropped Back to the Future: The Game, a five-part point-and-click saga that tossed Marty and Doc into a fresh story weaving through the trilogy’s timeline. On the flip side, the 1989 NES game by LJN, tied to the first film, threw players into side-scrolling action and time-travel challenges, but sold poorly due to its clunky controls.
Then came the 2015 Back to the Future: The Game – 30th Anniversary Edition. Available on consoles and PC, it kept the original’s rich storytelling while feeling fresh for both longtime fans and newcomers. Naves’ project, though, is something else—a fan’s dream that captures the trilogy’s spirit with a modern twist, inviting us all to take a ride back to Hill Valley.
