To tie in with the release of the new eleventh season of “Futurama”, which has returned after a ten-year hiatus, Epic Games has announced some new in-game options for the smash-hit video game, “Fortnite”.

The series follows Philip J. Fry (Billy West), a New York City pizza delivery boy, who accidentally freezes himself in 1999 and gets defrosted in the year 3000. In this astonishing New New York, he befriends hard-drinking robot Bender (John DiMaggio), and falls in love with cyclops Leela (Katey Sagal). The trio find work at the Planet Express Delivery Company, founded by Fry’s doddering descendant, Professor Hubert Farnsworth. Together with accountant Hermes Conrad, assistant Amy Wong, and alien lobster Dr. John Zoidberg, they embark on thrilling adventures that take them to every corner of the universe.

There are a number of new items available to purchase within the “Fortnite” item store, including Bender, Fry, and Leela Outfits. Players can also find Bender’s Shiny Metal Raygun in battle.

Here’s a look at what’s available now in the “Fortnite” store:

Bender

The Bender Bending Rodríguez Outfit includes the Universe 1 Bender alt Style and the Ben Rodríguez Back Bling. The Unbendable Girder Pickaxe is available in the Shop too!

Fry

This Outfit includes the Universe 1 Fry alt Style and Hypnotoad Back Bling. Also available in the Shop, harvest with the Giant Nutcracker Pickaxe.

Leela

Benders Shiny Metal Gun

Bender’s Shiny Metal Raygun can be found from the ground, or from Bender himself if you have the Bars. Fire an infinite supply of plasma with this weapon — but be careful because it’ll overheat and need to cool down if you fire too much at once!

The first episode of the latest season of “Futurama”, along with previous seasons, are available to stream now on Hulu in the United States, Star+ in Latin America and on Disney+ around the world.
