Futurama has a very big cult following and people would do anything to keep the characters and the world they live in alive. Fans can now relive the series in the form of a mobile game. 20th Century Fox has signed a deal with German game developer Wooga to create Futurama: Release the Drones. The story will see the Planet Express crew take on MomCo in a delivery war, with players asked to connect groups of drones to solve puzzles.
Wooga pulled in some heaveyweights to help design the game. It will be designed by Dave Grossman, who wrote The Secret of Monkey Island, Sam & Max as well as Telltale Games’ Tales of Monkey Island. He’ll team up with former Futurama producer Patric Verrone, who was co-executive producer in the show’s later years and wrote episodes like The Problem with Popplers and That’s Lobstertainment!.
There is official word on the release of the game but most expect it to be available early next year. The Futurama game has already paved the way for other popular series to make a comeback in a mobile game form as reports indicate that Firefly will join the resurrection. What popular series would you like to see making a comeback on mobile platforms?
