(flashback)

Activision sent out a press release today naming a November 23 release date for the UK version of Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse. The North American release takes place on November 20, according to a stealthy Facebook announcement.

In addition to a campaign that takes Stewie and Brian through parallel universes, the PS3/Xbox game includes cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes that let you choose from a variety of Family Guy characters.

Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse is a console title that will leverage the show's "source material, including the talented voice cast and writers, authentic humor and subversive spirit." Beyond that, and the fact that it's set to launch sometime this fall, we nothing else is known about the MacFarlane tie-in.
