Doctor Who: Worlds in Time Now Live - Electronic Theatre Mar 12th 2012, 17:05 BBC Worldwide Digital Entertainment and Games today announced the official launch of Doctor Who: Worlds in Time, the first-ever browser-based, free-to-play multiplayer online videogame based on the popular television series. Created in partnership with Three Rings, the award-winning developer of persistent online worlds Puzzle Pirates and Spiral Knights, the videogame transports fans and gamers alike on a journey throughout the boundless Doctor Who universe. Doctor Who: Worlds in Time offers something for everyone, including an intriguing narrative for sci-fi followers and serious gamers and stimulating micro-missions for game enthusiasts looking for a quick pick-up-and-play videogame. After meeting the Doctor in the iconic TARDIS, players travel to various immersive worlds (including Ember, Mars and New New York) and work together to defend civilization against infamous villains (including the Autons, Clockwork Robots and Zygons) bent on creating chaos and destruction in the universe. "Worlds in Time offers players a multitude of elements and opportunities to socialize," said Robert Nashak, Executive Vice President, BBC Worldwide Digital Entertainment and Games. "From introducing beloved characters and progressive storylines to presenting additional guild play, our goal is to become the largest Doctor Who community ever assembled, while also being an enjoyable experience for all users." Since the open beta launch in December 2011, the BBC and Three Rings have worked to make more Doctor Who environments available, as well as introduce additional virtual items and create deeply engaging communal features. "I have been a fan of Doctor Who since I was a child, so developing this game with BBC Worldwide is a dream come true," said Daniel James, CEO of Three Rings Design, Inc. "Like the Doctor, we have our own mission, to provide Doctor Who fans an experience matched only by the wondrous TV series, and casual gamers a warm opportunity to discover the marvelous world for themselves. It's exciting to see the Doctor Who universe come to life in such a unique way." While Doctor Who: Worlds in Time is free-to-play, players can enrich their gameplay and hasten their progress through the purchase of Chronons, which help them to customize their avatars, complete mini-games, build new contraptions and more. The term 'fremium' has been given to videogames of this nature.  Electronic Theatre will keep you updated with all the latest details on Doctor Who: Worlds in Time, and other fremium titles from the BBC Worldwide Digital Entertainment and Games. -END- This entry passed through the Full-Text RSS service — if this is your content and you're reading it on someone else's site, please read the FAQ at fivefilters.org/content-only/faq.php#publishers.
