Star Trek and Doctor Who Forge an Extraordinary Alliance for Intergalactic Friendship Day
Star Trek and Doctor Who unite for an epic mobile game event on Intergalactic Friendship Day. Join the adventure!
VANCOUVER, BC, July 27, 2024 /CNW/ — In a groundbreaking development, East Side Games Group Inc. (TSX: EAGR) (OTC: EAGRF), enthusiastically dubbed “ESGG,” has unveiled a crossover event that intertwines the storied universes of Star Trek and Doctor Who. This union, set to debut in the mobile gaming sphere, celebrates Intergalactic Friendship Day with a compelling narrative arc that spans multiple galaxies and epochs, featured in the mobile games Star Trek: Lower Decks Mobile and Doctor Who: Lost in Time.
Mark your calendars for August 1st, as this limited-time gaming spectacle offers players the chance to experience a single narrative from two distinct perspectives—each tailored to the series they represent.
“We are thrilled to merge these iconic universes in a crossover escapade that fans of both franchises will find exhilarating,” said Kevin Jorge, Head of Games at BBC. “This is a unique opportunity for new and intertwining storylines where The Doctor and Starfleet characters work in concert.”
During this event, players will navigate the unexpected complexities introduced by a mysterious space-time anomaly. This anomaly misplaces The Doctor aboard the Starfleet ship U.S.S. Cerritos and sends Lieutenant Brad Boimler alongside Ensign Beckett Mariner into the expansive and enigmatic universe of Doctor Who. Together with characters like River Song, these groups must collaborate to amend the fabric of reality, disrupted by the ripple in space-time.
“It’s incredibly exciting to combine two powerhouse sci-fi franchises in an innovative mobile game event,” expressed Doug Rosen, SVP of Games and Emerging Media at Paramount. “We are eager for fans to experience the phenomenal narrative and gameplay that only such a collaboration can deliver.”
This partnership marks a pivotal moment, as it merges two of science fiction’s most beloved and enduring franchises for an unforgettable interactive adventure.
