Notes

Release history

Limited edition packs with five cards began being distributed in October 2020, which, once sold out, were not available for purchase again. As with physical card games, cards come in a variety of rarities and will feature a variety of creatures and characters from the history of the series. Distinct from most games, the developers decided to distinguish between the cosmetic aspects of the item, a card frame, and the actual card itself, and these things are customisable and sold separately.[2] In order to ensure that there were no disputes over who owned what game pieces, Reality Gaming Group decided to implement blockchain technology for use in this game.[1][3]

After the October wave of releases, players were able to acquire more cards in sets.[4] The game went into early access alpha in December 2021[5] and open beta in October 2022.[6] Further updates were unveiled in October 2023[7] and February 2024.[8] The latter announcement was also accompanied by the release of a mini-episode which used the real-world game interface as a depiction of UNIT's visual interface database, allowing characters to discuss the updates in an in-universe context. The narrative continued to tie in heavily with the Time Lord Victorious multi-media event, even though it had otherwise concluded over a year prior.

Other matters

  • A small controversy developed over the game using art for the game developed by another artist without originally crediting or paying them for this work.[9]
  • Gizmodo UK noted for their users that while the security of blockchain is often touted as a strength, it's still possible to steal items placed on the blockchain.[4]
  • One 2021 post on the official Twitter account claimed that "Some accounts state that the 'Emperor of the Restoration', who led the Daleks after the Civil War, is actually the Dalek Prime. Before it led the Daleks in the Time War, it created the Dalek Time Squad".[10] This information is not reflected within the narrative of Worlds Apart and indeed does not match other Time Lord Victorious material, which consistently portrayed the Emperor of the Restoration as a distinct Emperor who had appropriated the image of his predecessor, rather than being the same individual. The phrase "Some accounts state…" echoes a common writing quirk of our own Wiki, suggesting the aberrant Twitter post may have originated as a misreading of our own Wiki's coverage of these characters.

Continuity

This section's awfully stubby.
