The Back to the Future franchise is referenced in a Forza Horizon 6 weekly challenge and a new model kit from Aoshima, both released in 2026.
Two recent stories connect the Back to the Future franchise to new products in 2026. In June, Aoshima released a 1/24 scale plastic model kit of the time machine from the first film as part of its Movie Mecha line. The kit includes a Marty McFly figure, opening gull-wing doors, flame effect parts, and an optional lightning antenna. It is priced at 7,700 yen and ships in September 2026.
Later that month, Forza Horizon 6 introduced a weekly challenge called 'Good Old Days' that requires players to maintain 142 km/h for 10 seconds in the DeLorean DMC-12. The condition resembles the 88 mph requirement from the films. Players have been voluntarily recreating the train-pushing scene from the third movie, though the game does not require it. The challenge has gone viral on social media.
Neither story announces a new film, game, or television project for the franchise itself. Both are licensed or inspired uses of the property in other media.

The condition resembles the Back to the Future film series, where the DeLorean time machine needs to reach 88 mph. Players are attempting to recreate the iconic scene from the third movie where the car is pushed by a train on the tracks, though the game does not require it.
