BBC Worldwide and Supermassive Games will Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock to Life using Epic Game's Unreal Engine 3 game development engine technology. It will also be the first time that a game utilizes the UE3 tech on the PlayStation Vita. Developed by Supermassive Games and based upon the BBC’s long-running sci-fi TV show, Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock will be the first PlayStation Vita game to use Unreal Engine toolset, which also powers the PlayStation 3 and PC versions of the game.

“At Supermassive, we always try to be very pragmatic about our choice of technology and choose the right tool for the job at hand. Our aim for ‘Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock’ is to match it as closely as possible in aesthetics, tone and sound to the television series, and also to achieve a new level of quality on Sony’s outstanding platforms," said Jonathan Amor, chief technology officer at Supermassive Games. “Critical factors in our decision to license Unreal Engine 3 include the capability and maturity of the Unreal Editor and tool chain, and we required an engine that has proven success in the marketplace.”

“We are big Doctor Who fans here at Epic,” said Mike Gamble, European territory manager, Epic Games. “It’s brilliant to see the world of Doctor Who brought to life by the team at Supermassive and especially to see Unreal Engine 3 powering the game that’s bringing this universe to a whole new platform and an entirely new generation of gamers and Doctor Who fans.”
