What is Doctor Who: Worlds Apart?
Doctor Who: Worlds Apart is an upcoming trading card game by the British game studio Reality Gaming Group (RGG). It is based on the famous BBC television series and is BBC’s first digital trading card game.
The TV series features an extraterrestrial Doctor who travels across time and space using a time travel machine called Tardis. Similar to the series, the play-to-earn game will include time travel and characters from different timelines. In the game, players can collect and trade characters, objects, and moments from the franchise and compete with other gamers in various contests.
Early this year, RGG launched its private Ethereum sidechain for the game as well as its marketplace. The move came as an effort to address the high gas fees associated with the Ethereum mainnet. Moreover, a sidechain also consumes less energy compared to the Ethereum mainnet.
“Our sidechain has allowed us to create eNFTs, a more environmentally friendly NFT that use…far less than if we were operating on the Ethereum mainnet,” the game notes on its website. “This also gives our users no Ethereum gas fees, thereby further reducing energy use.”
The game’s marketplace has amassed $472,463 in trading (at the time of writing). Moreover, a total of 28,361 assets have been traded on the marketplace to date. The most expensive card traded so far is a Tenth Doctor, Sandshoes card with a Bronze Dalek Frame. It sold for $2,000.
As of now, the game is expected to be available in open beta from late 2021 to early 2023. Till then, players can build their trading card collection by purchasing cards from the marketplace.
