It’s one of the biggest TV franchises of all time, and now Doctor Who is venturing into the world of virtual reality.
Maze Theory has announced that it is launching a Doctor Who VR video game this September, called Doctor Who: The Edge of Time.
The game is inspired by the programme’s 55-year history, and stars the Doctor’s current incarnation, played by Jodie Whittaker.
Bradley Crooks, Head of Digital Entertainment & Games for BBC Studios, said: “VR is the perfect home for a truly immersive Doctor Who adventure.

A statement about the game explained: “The Doctor has been hurled through time to the end of the universe. A virus that threatens to rip apart reality itself has been unleashed.
“Players can pilot the TARDIS on a journey across worlds both familiar and strange to recover a series of powerful time crystals that can repair spacetime and ultimately, save the universe itself.”
Thankfully, there's not too long to wait before you can play the game for yourself. Doctor Who: The Edge of Time will launch this September.
