Futurama: Bender's Game is the third of the four planned Futurama films.[1]

The sneak peek trailer mentions a release date of the holiday season of 2008 in the US. An advertisement on the region 2 DVD of Bender's Big Score stated a release date of November 2008 in the UK.

In the table reading present in Bender's Big Score DVD, it is shown that this chapter in Futurama's adventures will feature a Dungeons & Dragons-like setting where Bender dresses like a knight, Leela is a centaur and the Professor is a wizard. A teaser image depicts Fry as a Gollum-like creature, while the trailer shows him as a dragon. According to David X. Cohen, the movie will be Futurama's "first real foray into the fantasy world as opposed to straight sci-fi".[2] The title appears to be a reference to the Hugo and Nebula award winning novel Ender's Game.

Additionally, Mom will make a return appearance.[3]

Guest stars will include George Takei and Rich Little reprising as themselves.[4]

A preview of Bender's Game will be one of the bonus features on the Beast with a Billion Backs DVD.[3]
