A new Futurama iOS game is set to land in the App Store this month and, based on the trailer, it looks to be a star-studded affair.

The Futurama: Worlds of Tomorrow ad features the brainy voice talents of no less than Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Stephen Hawking, George Takei and Bill Nye. Check it out below.

There aren’t too many more details available about the game, other than the fact that it’s created by TinyCo and FoxNext games.

From the gameplay we’ve seen, fans can expect a game similar to The Simpsons: Tapped Out and Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff in terms of a faithfully-recreated open world version of the TV show’s universe, with plenty of recreated in-jokes along the way.

While spinoff games based on popular properties can be hit-and-miss (and we’re certainly expecting in-app purchases to be a part of this title), it does at least feature a script from the show’s writers, some niftily true-to-TV graphics, and the cast’s original voice talents.

Oh, and we’re also promised that Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Stephen Hawking, George Takei and Bill Nye will all feature as playable characters, each with his own unique storyline.

Futurama: Worlds of Tomorrow will arrive in the App Store on June 29.
