Doctor Who VR game The Edge of Time gets new gameplay trailer

Doctor Who: The Edge Of Time

A new mysterious enemy threatens to tear apart the universe and only you can stop them! Doctor Who: The Edge Of Time lets players embark on an adventure through space and time. Travel across the universe, visit alien locations, pilot the TARDIS and solve the mystery of the controlling force behind the Reality Virus.

Developer Maze Theory's "cinematic, feature-length" Doctor Who VR game, The Edge of Time, is right around the corner, with a PlayStation VR, Oculus, and Vive release still pencilled in for the rapidly dwindling month of September. And in anticipation of that imminent launch, there's a new trailer offering a few additional gameplay glimpses.

Previously, Maze Theory revealed that The Edge of Time would ask players, safely ensconced in their VR headsets, to "solve mind-bending puzzles, grapple with classic 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". That adventure would involve journeying to destinations "both familiar and strange to recover a series of powerful time crystals".

To date, Maze Theory has shown very little in the way of gameplay for its Jodie-Whittaker-starring virtual reality experience, with the exception of one exceedingly brown introductory sequence in a Cole Hill junkyard, initially demoed during this year's San Diego Comicon. That early snatch saw players, with a little help from the Doctor, summoning the TARDIS into being in order to escape a Dalek invasion.
