Zynga's Custom Street Racer 2 (CSR2) is celebrating the 40th anniversary of Back to the Future with a time-traveling crossover event.
CSR2: A Back to the Future Experience
Players can now acquire and race the iconic DeLorean Time Machine from the original film. While it lacks performance boosts or special abilities, the fully drivable DeLorean is a highlight of the collaboration. Beyond the car itself, CSR2 offers a complete Back to the Future themed experience.
This includes a film-inspired in-game user interface, a new storyline, and multiple events. Three flash events focused on the DeLorean are planned, alongside a community competition. Zynga has confirmed additional themed events throughout the year, making this more than a one-off update. Currently, CSR2 is hosting social media quizzes with prizes. Check their social channels for details.
The following video provides a preview of the crossover:
No Time Travel, But a Unique Experience
While the game doesn't offer time travel to 1955 (or 1999!), the CSR2 x Back to the Future collaboration is unique. The opportunity to virtually drive the DeLorean is a significant draw.
Zynga's VP of Games, Sam Cooper, emphasized the DeLorean's iconic status and the excitement of letting players experience it within the game, celebrating the movie's anniversary.
