Doctor Who and Star Trek confirm crossover for "thrilling" new game story
The Tenth Doctor will be meeting Lieutenant Brad Boimler and Ensign Beckett Mariner from Lower Decks.
Two of the biggest sci-fi franchises are set to collide, with a mobile game crossover announced for Doctor Who and Star Trek.
The story, which has been made for Intergalactic Friendship Day and will start on 1st August, will feature in the mobile games Star Trek: Lower Decks Mobile and Doctor Who: Lost in Time, and will run for a limited time.
It will see fans being treated to the same story, experienced from two unique perspectives, with the Doctor being thrown onboard Lower Decks’ U.S.S. Cerritos by a mysterious space-time ripple. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Brad Boimler and Ensign Beckett Mariner will be thrust into the Doctor Who universe.
With the ripple disrupting the very fabric of reality, the Doctor must join forces with the crew of the Cerritos, while Boimler and Mariner team up with River Song.
Kevin Jorge, Head of Games at BBC, said: "We are beyond excited to bring together these iconic franchises for a crossover event that fans have only dreamed about. This collaboration offers a unique opportunity to explore a brand-new storyline where the Doctor and Star Trek characters can work together!"
