The award winning show is being made into a game, and find out the details inside!

Futurama is a cartoon by the same creator as The Simpsons, Matt Groening. SCi Games will be developing this upcoming 3rd person shooter. The game will be based around four central characters, Fry, Leela, Bender and Dr Zoidberg. Each character will have different weapons and fighting methods, making a game that has many different ways to play!

The game will feature various genres, such as action, platforming and puzzle solving.

The story known at the moment is the evil businesswoman Mom buying Planet Express (the company the characters work for) and in doing so now owns over fifty percent of the Earth. This means she is ruler of the world, and plans on enslaving the population and turn the planet into a warship to go take on the Universe. The game will see you going back in time to stop Mom from buying out the company.

  • Fight your way through the futuristic streets of New New York, and explore the dark and forbidding underground ruins of old New York.
  • Travel to the asteroid belt and battle huge robot monsters in an asteroid junkyard.
