If you’ve ever dreamed of running away with the Doctor and flying in the TARDIS, this is your chance. In the video above Doc In The Box talks with Ian Hamilton of Maze Theory to discuss Doctor Who – The Edge of Time, the fully-interactive VR videogame, featuring the voice of Jodie Whittaker. The game will launch on PlayStation VR, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Vive Cosmos in September 2019.
The game is fully immersive and takes the player through an adventure where a new mysterious enemy threatens to tear apart the universe and only you can stop them! Armed with the Sonic Screwdriver, players will solve mind-bending puzzles, grapple with iconic monsters and encounter new horizons in a quest to find the Doctor and defeat a powerful force that threatens to destroy the fabric of reality.
There will be plenty of familiar monsters in the game as well as some new additions! Hydrorks are brand-new and unique to Doctor Who: The Edge of Time. They are vicious amphibians, sometimes used as guards by races like the Stenza and Zygons. They are incredibly eerie, slimy and have a penchant for staring at you! These deadly carnivores have no table manners and possess a real taste for human flesh, with their hunger never being sated. The fan-favorite Weeping Angels are a horrific nightmare fully realized in VR for the first time. A terrifying and powerful species of quantum-locked humanoids who are as old as the universe. They appear to be ‘weeping’ because they cover their eyes so as not to get frozen for eternity by other angels. Be warned, you think you know fast and frightening? Experience them in VR. You can’t have a Doctor Who game without the Doctor’s biggest enemy. Daleks will be incredibly imposing in VR, AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
Maze Theory is the new start-up immersive entertainment studio led by former Activision and Sony PlayStation veterans and London based creative agency Output Group. It is committed to redefining storytelling through awesome, innovative and immersive experiences in virtual reality. The experience of walking into the TARDIS is absolutely breathtaking. They have certainly gone out of their way to make it feel as it can be to be in the TARDIS. And even if you aren’t a big Doctor Wo fan, Hamilton explains
