Fox Digital Entertainment have announced a partnership with Wooga that will see the Berlin-based developer create the mobile game Futurama: Game of Drones for Android and iOS devices. No release date is available as of yet. By the sounds of it the game will be a trading simulation spiced up with the likes of Bender and his fellow castmates.
From the press release:
"The game, titled Futurama: Game of Drones, takes players on a journey with the Planet Express crew as they fight a desperately imbalanced trade war against longtime shipping rival MomCo. While delivering dangerous cargo to hazardous locations under ill-advised circumstances, players connect groups of delivery drones to solve an array of fiendish puzzles as they venture into iconic environments from the Futurama universe."
Also of note, and hopefully an indication much effort has been placed on the narrative, is that former LucasArts and Telltale Games designer Dave Grossman (Secret of Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam & Max, The Wolf Among Us) will write the script along with Jonathon Myers (Game of Thrones: Ascent) and Patric M. Verrone ( a member of the original Futurama writing team).
