The worlds of Star Trek and Doctor Who will collide in two mobile games by East Side Games; Star Trek: Lower Decks – The Badgey Directive and Doctor Who: Lost in Time.
Players of both games will experience the story from two unique perspectives. A mysterious space-time ripple throws the Doctor onboard Star Trek: Lower Deck’s U.S.S. Cerritos, while Lieutenant Brad Boimler and Ensign Beckett Mariner find themselves thrust into the Doctor Who universe. With the ripple disrupting the very fabric of reality, the Doctor must join forces with the resourceful crew of the Cerritos, while Boimler and Mariner team up with the legendary River Song. Together, they race against time to repair the ripple and set things right.
The limited-time game event will begin on 1 August 2024.
