Allons-y! Doctor Who: Legacy gets new companions, levels
The fabric of space-time gets a little wibbly-wobbly today, when The Doctor from the BBC's Doctor Who invades multiple comic books and the mobile Doctor Who: Legacy game. Well, actually it's not The Doctor who we're surprised to see, but two of his companions: Gabriella Gonzalez and Alice Obiefune. These new characters will simultaneously debut in Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor #1, Doctor Who: The Eleventh Doctor #1 and Doctor Who: Legacy. Legacy players looking to add the companions to their roster of allies will have to pick up copies of the new comics, each of which contain an exclusive link to a code used to unlock Gabriella and Alice, as well as new levels and enemies taken from the comics. Copies should be available either through your local comic shop or online via publisher Titan Comics. "It's a real delight for us that Gabby and Alice can now go on new adventures with the Doctor in between issues – and we look forward to sharing more comics-driven content through Legacy in the future," Doctor Who comics editor Andrew James said in a related press release.

Doctor Who: Legacy update may be difficult to Master
The first major update to Doctor Who: Legacy, the free-to-play iOS and Android puzzle game based on the BBC's sci-fi universe, will introduce longtime series villain The Master as well as a new Perk system, new Expert mode levels and new versions of The Doctor to play as. The Master will appear as he did when he was played by Roger Delgado, Peter Pratt and John Simms, while the game will add the First, Second, Ninth and War Doctors - played by William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Christopher Eccleston and John Hurt, respectively. The game's new Perk system will allow players to customize their characters and companions, unlocking abilities as you progress through the new content. If you're feeling particularly perplexed by some of Legacy's puzzles, just remember: YANA - you are not alone. No, seriously, you've got companions to help you out. Use 'em and stuff. [Image: BBC]
Doctor Who: Legacy arrives November 27
Following the recent BBC debut of "The Day of the Doctor," and continuing the 50th anniversary celebration of all things Doctor Who, comes the November 27 launch of the free-to-play Doctor Who: Legacy. Available exclusively on iOS and Android, Legacy allows players to build a team of their favorite companions and allies from the extensive history of Doctor Who. You'll use this team to battle the series' most famous enemies and relive the Doctor's greatest moments. While that premise sounds like the sort of thing a Who fan would adore, keep in mind that not all of the game's content will be available at launch. On debut, the game will cover the most recent two seasons of Doctor Who. From there the development team will work backwards in time to add more content to Doctor Who: Legacy. Today's announcement mentions that content from season five of the modern Doctor Who series will be available for free at some point near the beginning of 2014. It's currently unknown what price points will be attached to further content releases.
Doctor Who: Legacy free-to-play game travels to iOS, Android soon
The two Doctor Who sequels from Supermassive aren't ever going to materialize, but BBC is launching Doctor Who: Legacy, a free-to-play iOS and Android game to celebrate the series' fiftieth anniversary. It comes from Tiny Rebel Studios and Seed Studio, and it's expected to drop "soon." The Doctor Who fiftieth anniversary TV special – which stars tenth Doctor David Tennant, eleventh Doctor Matt Smith, a mysterious incarnation of the Doctor played by John Hurt and features the return of Billie Piper as Rose – airs on November 23. That seems pretty "soon" to us, but we're no Time Lords.
