Digital entertainment studio Maze Theory, in partnership with BBC Studios, have today launched Doctor Who: The Edge of Reality on Nintendo Switch. Players will be swept up into their own epic Doctor Who adventure under the guidance of familiar characters: the Thirteenth Doctor (voiced by Jodie Whittaker), and the Tenth Doctor (voiced by David Tennant).
Featuring new worlds, new gameplay and an expanded story written by Gavin Collinson (Doctor Who: The Edge of Time, Doctor Who: The Lonely Assassins), players will come face to face with classic Doctor Who monsters including the terrifying Weeping Angels, power-hungry Daleks and metal clad Cybermen… and a brand-new foe, the CyberReaper.
The second Doctor Who game to land on the Nintendo Switch, after the acclaimed The Lonely Assassins earlier this year, Doctor Who: The Edge of Reality expands upon the thrilling VR experience of Doctor Who: The Edge of Time.
- Travel through space and time in the TARDIS to exterminate the havoc-wreaking ‘Reality Virus’, which is threatening the universe.
- Explore immersive new environments like the ‘Chaosverse’: a corrupted alternate universe where worlds and timelines collide to create new adventures, encounters, and threats
- Packed with easter eggs guaranteed to surprise and delight fans of the epic sci-fi series, which is currently airing brand-new episodes weekly on BBC One.
- Digital deluxe edition offers fans exclusive content, including additional Sonic Screwdrivers, as used by previous incarnations of the Doctor.
Doctor Who: The Edge of Reality is out now on the Nintendo eShop, priced at £19.99 for the standard edition and £24.99 for the digital deluxe edition. To celebrate the launch, the digital deluxe edition will be priced at £19.99 for a limited time. The game is also available on PC, PlayStation and Xbox.
Maze Theory Studio Director Russell Harding said: “Players will love how they get to be part of a brand new Doctor Who story in Edge of Reality; and actively be immersed in the compelling adventure, alongside the two Doctors. We know fans love facing iconic monsters such as Daleks and Cyberman, but there will also be brand new foes equally as terrifying.
