Bender's Game

Bender's Game is the third of the four Direct-to-DVD films, to be released in 2008.

As of 8 July, 2007 the voice acting for all the films (which includes the fifth season) is finished, according to Lauren Tom. Guest stars include George Takei and Rich Little.

On the commentary of Bender's Big Score, David X. Cohen says Bender's Game is probably going to be released by Christmas, 2008. Since then, Bender's Game has been officially confirmed for release in November 2008 in Europe, suggesting it will probably be out before Christmas in America. Quite possibly on the one year anniversary of Bender's Big Score.

While plot details are still sketchy, we know that at least one plot will match the "Fantasy" genre more closely than "Sci-Fi". A teaser in Futurama Returns (see below) shows the crew in modified forms to suit this, most likely through some kind of virtual reality simulation/game and/or as a result of the events of. This may also suggest the return of the What-If Machine.
