Friendship is a wonderful thing. Out of this world, you could say. 

East Side Games certainly think so – the game studio has announced a very special crossover between Star Trek and Doctor Who in honour of International Friendship Day (30 July).

Dubbing this year’s celebration the inaugural Intergalactic Friendship Day, the Vancouver-based studio is combining the shows’ sci-fi universes in the Star Trek: Lower Decks Mobile and Doctor Who: Lost in Time mobile games.

Starting from 1 August, fans will – for a limited time – be able to experience the same story from two unique perspectives.

"We are beyond excited to bring together these iconic franchises for a crossover event that fans have only dreamed about," said Kevin Jorge, Head of Games at BBC. "This collaboration offers a unique opportunity to explore a brand-new storyline where The Doctor and Star Trek characters can work together!"

"The player will experience the story of a mysterious space-time ripple that 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 enigmatic Doctor Who universe,” a press release for the crossover teases.
