After missing its launch window of Spring 2021, the upcoming Doctor Who: The Edge of Reality from developer Maze Theory will now be launching for Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S on September 30.
The game is said to be a reimagining of the previously released Doctor Who: The Edge of Time, a VR only title. As for this entry, it will see the adventure take place with the 13th Doctor, played by Jodie Whittaker, and the 10th Doctor, portrayed by David Tennant, who will be accompanying you for the ride.
With the new instalment, players can expect to find "brand-new gameplay, new monsters and new worlds to explore", as they "wield the sonic screwdriver on a quest to save the universe". Fan favourite baddies will also returning, including the terrifying Weeping Angels and the deadly Cybermen.
Key Features
- CONSOLE AND PC: Compatible with current and next-generation consoles as well as PC, Doctor Who: The Edge of Reality features new worlds to explore, new puzzles, new challenges and new gameplay.
- ORIGINAL DOCTOR WHO STORY: Uncover a universe-spanning threat as you seek to save reality from a series of time-breaking glitches. Continue the story that began in The Edge of Time and partner with the Doctor to unearth a greater mystery.
- NEW ENEMIES AND AI: Come face-to-face with classic Doctor Who monsters including the Daleks and Weeping Angels. Experience the metal-clad terror of the Cybermen and more foes yet to be revealed.
The latest trailer doesn't give us much of an indication of what to expect in terms of gameplay, which is admittedly a little concerning considering the game is just over two months away. Since it's a reimagining, we expect it won't be drastically different to the VR experience, which was built around exploration and puzzle solving. No doubt we'll (hopefully) get a good look before it finally launches this September.

I've played this on the Quest, can't help but feel that Vr was doing quite a bit of the heavy lifting there.
Having to work a simple crank and keeping an eye on weeping angels was great in VR, not sure it'll have the same effect on console
Quick question but in the article you say the game is "to be a reimagining of the previously released Doctor Who: The Edge of Time" but the official blurb says it's a continuation, so which is it?
I can't use VR (well i can but with my damaged eye i can't get the full 3D effect so it's pointless so it would a waste of money) so i never got to other game so it would be nice to know exactly what this is because if it's a sequel then there is also no point but if it's a new version of the same story with extras then it is as this game doesn't need vr
@FullbringIchigo Apparently it "reimagines and expands" the original VR game.
"Doctor Who: The Edge Of Reality reimagines The Edge Of Time for consoles and PC, with brand-new gameplay, new monsters and new worlds to explore."
@FraserG so it's the original games story with extra stuff added on
That's cool then, thanks
