Zynga is thrilling fans of classic cinema and racing games alike by integrating a nostalgic twist into Custom Street Racer 2 (CSR2) with a special crossover event commemorating the 40th anniversary of the iconic 1985 film, "Back to the Future," directed by Robert Zemeckis.
CSR2 Is Taking You Back to the Future
Starting today, players can now add the legendary DeLorean Time Machine from the first film to their collections and race it within the game. While the DeLorean doesn't offer any performance enhancements or special abilities, it's fully drivable, providing an authentic experience. Beyond the car itself, CSR2 introduces a comprehensive Back to the Future-themed event.
This crossover event features a custom in-game user interface inspired by the film, a new narrative, and a series of events. Players can look forward to three flash events specifically dedicated to the Time Machine, as well as a community competition. Zynga has assured fans that additional themed events will be rolled out throughout the year, ensuring this collaboration is more than just a fleeting update. Currently, CSR2 is also hosting quizzes on their social media platforms where participants can win exciting prizes. Be sure to check them out here.

Sadly, No Free Trips to 1955!
While the game doesn't offer time travel to 1955 as seen in the movie, or even the mechanics of games like Reverse:1999, the CSR2 x Back to the Future collaboration is truly unique. The opportunity to drive the iconic gull-winged DeLorean from the film is an exciting addition in itself.
Sam Cooper, Zynga's Vice President of Games, emphasized the significance of this collaboration by describing the Time Machine as one of the most recognizable and beloved picture cars in cinematic history. He expressed enthusiasm about giving players the chance to virtually race this legendary vehicle while celebrating the movie's milestone anniversary.
