Doctor Who: The Edge of Reality will at last launch today for PC, PlayStation and Xbox.

The time-travelling adventure starring Jodie Whittaker and David Tennant was previously set for 30th September, but did not materialise.

And there's a further delay to the game's Nintendo Switch edition, which does not release today. Instead, the TARDIS will finally turn up there in two weeks' time - on 28th October.

Doctor Who: The Edge of Reality will arrive for Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation and Xbox on 30th September.

This is a new and expanded version of the Jodie Whittaker-starring Doctor Who: The Edge of Time, which originally launched in 2019.

The Edge of Reality "reimagines and expands" the VR experience with new story, new enemies and - perhaps most notably - a meeting with the fan-favourite Tenth Doctor, voiced again here by David Tennant.

Doctor Who: The Edge of Time VR developer Maze Theory has announced plans for a follow-up game, this time bound for non-virtual reality platforms.

The untitled sequel will arrive in early 2021 for "PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Switch" - though there's no confirmation of exactly which generation of PlayStation and Xbox.

Another Doctor Who game, this time for mobile, is also in development, in partnership with Simulacra studio Kaigan Games.

Doctor Who: The Edge of Time, developer Maze Theory's "cinematic, feature-length" VR game, now has a release date. It'll be vworping onto PSVR, Oculus, and Vive on 12th November.

The Edge of Time Maze is a puzzle-y traversal affair in which players must help the Doctor (as played by Jodie Whittaker) "defeat a powerful force that threatens to destroy the fabric of reality". The time-and-space-spanning story is entirely new, but, as you'd expect, there are plenty of nods to the TV series' 50-year legacy along the way, including appearances by the Daleks and Weeping Angels, and familiar locations, such as the Cole Hill junkyard.

Maze Theory offered a decent look at The Edge of Time's sonic-screwdriver-wielding gameplay in an extended trailer last month, and Eurogamer's Ian Higton was also given the opportunity to step into the TARDIS for a stroll through one of the game's five levels. Here he is in a spooky forest, wishing he had a virtual reality sofa to hide behind:

I'm familiar with modern-day Doctor Who, but I don't watch it. In fact, I haven't properly watched a Doctor Who episode since the days when Sylvester McCoy and Ace went head-to-head with a man made out of Liquorice Allsorts.

Back then Doctor Who still felt like a sci-fi horror show for kids, featuring a healthy dose of mortal peril in each episode, but in my minds eye, the episodes were always rather colourful and a touch psychedelic. That's why I was a bit taken aback by how gloomy Doctor Who: The Edge of Time was. Are the newer series really this poorly lit?

If you want to see what I'm on about, check out this week's episode of Ian's VR Corner in the video player below. I took a trip to developer Maze Theory's offices to record an exclusive Let's Play of a portion of one of the game's five levels and this snippet shows off just how murky the visuals in the game can actually get.

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.
