Tiny Rebel Games have announced that the online game Doctor Who: Legacy will close in two weeks time.

Over time the game has evolved to include every incarnation of the Doctor from the television series (including the War Doctor) and well over 200 companions from both Classic and Modern Doctor Who.

The current licence to operate the game is ending shortly and the developers have decided not to renew it.

They issued a statement via the games Facebook page.

The game can be played offline after the shutdown, but will be removed from app stores in due course. All in-app purchasing will be turned off from today.

A final promo code has been released on the Facebook page.
