Doctor Who Legacy, the online game based on Doctor Who, celebrates its first birthday next week, and to mark the event, Tiny Rebel Games have announced some of their plans for the future of the series.

The game launched on the 27th November 2013, with just two Doctors, and episodes from two seasons of the show. The series is now Doctor complete in that every Doctor can be obtained and added to a team.

To celebrate, the first 4 levels of the next chapter prologue will be released over the next few days, this will see the 12th Doctor join the storyline. On or about the first Birthday of the game, the final 3 levels will be released, bringing the 4th Doctor into the storyline.
