The beloved sci-fi animated series Futurama returns tonight in the United States at 10:00pm ET on Comedy Central with new episodes, but before jumping into the rebirth of the series, take a step back and check out the so-called lost episode that is comprised of the cinematics from the 2003 video game for the Microsoft Xbox and Sony PlayStation 2. Written by the original writers and featuring performances from the talented cast, this adventure takes Fry, Leela, Bender, and the rest across time and space to undo Professor Farnsworth's decision to sell Planet Express to Mom. The compiled scenes are featured as a special extra on the Beast With A Billion Backs DVD, but of course someone has placed it on YouTube in four parts. Be sure to check out the DVD version as well, as it has commentary from the creators that provide some insight on adapting the series into the gaming realm.
We can dream, right?

YouTuber UpIsNotJump created a mashup of Futurama meets Fallout 4. The short contains many fan favorite scenes from Futurama remade with Nexus Mods and Bethesda.net. These are some of the best moments focusing on Fry, Leela, Bender, Zoidburg and Professor Farnsworth.
We've seen Game of Thrones and Borderlands get the Telltale treatment. So here are 10 other franchises we'd love Telltale to turn into episodic series.
I wouldn't want Rick and Morty to get a silly point and click game. I want to control the characters and use the portal gun along with Ricks other whacky inventions.
Hell some episodes concepts like the space parasite one where they are all locked up in the house with silly characters would be great used in a game.
Third person platforming game with shooting elements.
As long im able to show them what i got and getting schwifty in there..

^ Really Twinfinite ?
What a bunch of sensationalist garbage.
Honestly, I'm a bit burnt out on TellTale. But a military game would be an interesting spin on something that has been done a lot in other genres.
OMG Futurama is coming back?!?! i thought it was dead.
Is this taking place after they go through the big portal thing?
The game was actually pretty good from what I remember.
I was pumped to hear this show is coming back, I've about worn out my DVDs of seasons 1-5.
Hopefully it gets the attention it deserves this time so it can stick around.
LOVE the show, can't wait to see these new episodes! :)
Speaking of the game, I have the original xbox version and the controls have the X/Y axis reversed and there's no option in-game to change it. Is there a way to tell the 360 to NOT reverse the axis?
