E.T.: Interplanetary Mission (known as E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial: The 20th Anniversary in Europe) is a 2001 action platformer video game developed by Santa Cruz Games, released by NewKidCo and Ubisoft, and based on the film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. The game's story, which follows the end of the movie, centers around the titular character traveling to various planets, including Earth, in order to collect rare plants to save the universe.
E.T.: Interplanetary Mission was met with mixed reviews upon release. Critics deemed the game an improvement from the previous E.T. game, but criticized its simplicity, controls, and graphics. The game gained a surge of notoriety in 2025 after a hidden message condemning Osama bin Laden at the end of the game's credits was found. The Easter egg reflects political discourse in America following the September 11 attacks.
