Created in partnership with Futurama creator and executive producer Matt Groening and his Curiosity Company, along with executive producer David X. Cohen, several original series writers, and Rough Draft Studios, the new Futurama teaser offers the first animation from the Futurama universe since the show’s return to television ended its run in 2013.
“I’m proud to say that ‘Futurama’ lives!” says Groening, “In mobile-video-game teaser trailer form, anyway. If you squint, it’s kind of like a little episode!”
“Working on this new Futurama animation has been a thrilling adventure,” adds Cohen. “I finally understand how Neil Armstrong must have felt when he first landed on the lunar surface, watched some funny cartoons on the control screen, and did whatever else was on his schedule that day.”
Jam City has also released more details about app’s gameplay. Futurama: Worlds of Tomorrow will blend simulation, combat, galactic exploration, and choose-your-own-adventure mechanics together to bring the escapades of the Planet Express crew to life. The game features two main settings: New New York, which focuses on simulation and character progression gameplay, and Space Adventures, in which players will explore and battle their way through planets, nebulas, and other weird stuff across the Futurama universe.
In New New York, players will focus on rescuing characters, collecting special items and materials, expanding their characters’ capabilities by leveling them up and crafting ability-defining character outfits, and tackling story-driven quests. Events that occur in New New York will often move the game’s overarching narrative forward, by allowing players to assemble a crew of their favorite Futurama characters and take to the stars for Space Adventures. While traversing the depths of space, players will fight alien enemies in retro arcade-style combat, rendered in beautiful 16-bit graphics, and explore strange lands in which their choices determine their fate.
“The Futurama universe is chock-full of exotic planets inhabited by wacky creatures (and Smizmars),” adds Josh Yguado, Co-Founder, President and COO of Jam City. “Whether you’re counseling an alien overlord on Omicron Persei 8 or battling rogue robots on the streets of Chapek 9, exploring this crazy universe and interacting with its denizens will be a blast.”
Futurama: Worlds of Tomorrow will soon be available via the App Store, Google Play, and the Amazon Appstore.
