Worlds of Tomorrow is a Futurama-themed mobile game released on June 29th, 2017[1], that features stories written by writers from the TV series and stars the show's original cast.
On April 20, 2023, the servers for the game were officially shut down, rendering it unplayable (even offline).
Gameplay
Worlds of Tomorrow tasks the player with saving New New York and the characters within it from hypnowaves that have spread across the universe. The game presents the player with a portion of New New York, with more areas being unlocked as they progress through the game, or unlock more space by clearing areas using Robot 1-X. Characters from the show wander through the map, with more characters able to be unlocked by clearing areas of hypnowaves or purchasing them using pizza. Pizza is a special currency that is rare to come across, but can be bought in bulk via microtransactions. The player can construct buildings that generate in-game currency (Nixonbucks) & XP, as well as place decorations around the map. Space missions take the player to different planets, allowing them to pick a small selection of available characters with them on the trip to participate in battles & encounters. Space missions award the player with hypnotons & career chips that allow them to clear areas of the map & level up characters, respectively. Characters can also perform "actions" that generate Nixonbucks & XP over time.
