Overview

Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse is an action-adventure third-person shooter video game developed by Heavy Iron Studios and published by Activision. The game is based on the American animated television series Family Guy and serves as a sequel to the episodes "Road to the Multiverse" and "The Big Bang Theory". The game was released in North America on November 20, 2012, in Australia on November 21, and in Europe on November 23 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. Versions for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii were planned but later canceled. It was the first Family Guy console game since Family Guy Video Game! (2006).

Upon release, Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse received negative reviews. While the game’s humor, characters, and voice acting were praised, critics criticized its gameplay, graphics, and story. Players who pre-ordered the game received access to a special level based on Aliens: Colonial Marines, another video game based on the Aliens franchise owned by 20th Century Studios. That game was released the following February to similarly negative reception.

In December 2014, Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse was removed from Steam.
