East Side Games Group, in partnership with BBC Studios, has just announced a new and yet untitled Doctor Who game on mobile. The game set in the Who-niverse will be an idle-genre mobile title, and will be a free-to-play narrative adventure.

We’re delighted to be working with East Side Games Group to bring a new narrative-driven Doctor Who game to mobile,” says Kevin Jorge, Senior Producer at BBC Studios. “This new partnership will allow gamers and fans the opportunity to meet and collect a huge cast iconic characters from across the Who-niverse, relive fan favourite adventures and defeat iconic enemies as they try to save the Doctor in an exciting new story.”
