'' | * ''The Interstellar Convergence'' was covered in the "When Worlds Collide" article in [[DWMSE 62]], about the games ''Doctor Who'' [[crossover|crossed over]] with in [[2022 (releases)|2022]]. | ||
** The article detailed how the "''Doctor Who'' and BBC teams [had] reached to [CCP Games] a few years ago with the idea of doing something together. The thought was initially for the two established sci-fi worlds to tip their hats to one another, but as we unleashed our creative - and ''Doctor Who'' loving - brains on what we could do, the project took on its own life." | |||
** The article also gave a brief summary of the plot of ''The Interstellar Convergence'' and the "healthy debate" and "initial concerns" the collaboration spawned among "some fans" of "both communities", although the reception was "ultimately very positive". | |||
