Last week, we brought news about the new VR Doctor Who game called Doctor Who: The Edge of Time, you can read the post here if you want to catch up. Well, if you’re heading to the San Diego Comic-Con 2019 this weekend you can be one of the first people to play it.
If getting to San Diego is a little far, fear not you can
still see the first looks inside the TARDIS in the below brand-new title
sequence for the game.
Maze Theory spent some time in Cardiff, on the Doctor Who
set soaking up as much of the Doctor Who atmosphere and realism as they could
before coming back and designing the inside of the TARDIS. Working closely with
BBC Studios so the inside of the TARDIS is as authentic as possible.
Hundreds of photographs were taken then using a technique
called photogrammetry, they created a hyper-accurate digital reference of the
iconic spaceship. Then the games 3d artists took over and after around 1200
hours, the TARDIS was finished complete with full controls and even the Custard
Cream biscuit dispenser.
Maze Theory’s Creative Director Marcus Moresby said: “The
TARDIS is a very important and hugely iconic element of the show and Doctor
Who: The Edge of Time offers the chance to experience it like never before.
It’s been a huge undertaking to deliver the very best TARDIS experience and is
much anticipated by fans of the show. We know they’re going to love it.”
Will you be ready to take control with the Doctor played by
Jodie Whittaker, and explore every inch of space and time?
Remember if you’re at San Diego Comic Con 2019, head over to
the BBC AMERICA Booth (#4129) to get your first sneek peek, and play of the new
content.
Published by PlayStack and developed by Maze Theory under
license from BBC Studios, Doctor Who: The Edge of Time launches for all
high-end VR platforms in September 2019. Explore the TARDIS and universe of
Doctor Who without limitations, as the game will also be available on Oculus
Quest – the next generation in untethered VR.
