Doctor Who fans’ dreams of becoming the Doctor’s companion are coming true with the upcoming Doctor Who: The Edge of Time virtual reality game.
The interactive game developed by immersive entertainment studio Maze Theory and BBC Studios is based on the 55-year-long history of the ongoing TV series and will launch in September.
Players will fly the TARDIS to find the Doctor and journey through time. Their mission is to find time crystals, repair space-time, and take down a virus that aims to destroy reality. Along the way, players will crack puzzles and defeat classic monsters based on the show, including those pesky, exterminating Daleks.
Doctor Who’s Jodie Whittaker, who plays the Thirteenth — and first female — Doctor, will voice her role in the new VR game. Fans will travel through time to save the universe once it launches on PlayStation VR, Oculus Rift, Oculus Quest, HTC Vive, and Vive Cosmos.
“Maze Theory is committed to redefining storytelling through awesome, innovative, and immersive experiences in virtual reality. Doctor Who is an incredibly exciting and timeless franchise with a passionate and committed global fan base. We are looking to give them an entirely new experience; an opportunity to team up with the Doctor and feel like they are in the show. This, of course, includes piloting the TARDIS, a dream come true for fans,” Marcus Moresby, creative director of Maze Theory, tells Variety.
