Bob Gale has revealed that the upcoming Back to the Future: The Game - 30th Anniversary Edition will feature Tom Wilson as the voice of all the Tannen characters, replacing the previous voice work, as well as enhanced graphics.
The new edition will be released on October 13th for PS4, XBox One, XBox 360 and PC.
You can watch Bob Gale talk about it here.
Thanks to Shmargin for the tip off!

Haha, first Earl Boen, now Tom Wilson? I feel bad for the original voice actors. Still waiting for the Tales of Monkey Island re-release with Leilani Jones as the Voodoo Lady.
Well, at least Adam Harrington (who voiced pre-Boen LeChuck) went on to voice Bigby Wolf, so he got plenty of time in the spotlight there.
Poor Andrew Chaikin (who played Biff in the game) has a history of being replaced, as he played Max in the first episode of Telltale's Sam and Max before dropping out for health reasons. He keeps coming back in small roles, and he's generally quite good, so hopefully he eventually gets his big break. I keep hoping that Telltale will make a game that makes use of his excellent beatboxing skills.

The Tom Wilson addition to the cast is awesome, never liked the guy who acted in the original game as the Tannen characters.
Now, on the other hand, I'm not so sure about Kid Tannen and Beauregard Tannen. Owen Thomas did a great job with those characters, and I'm not really sure I want to see Tom Wilson take them over.
I own the limited edition box of the original PC version, would be great if old owners got this as a free upgrade, but there's no way that Telltale would do such a favor to their fans.
I would buy it on Wii U, but not really interested in buying it again on PC.

So fingers crossed they're right!
Still, I hope this will just replace existing copies of Back to the Future instead of me having to rebuy it.
I wonder if owners of the originally released game will be eligible for an free upgrade.
