Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock's planned sequels have been cancelled by BBC Worldwide.
Originally planned as a trilogy of releases, executive vice president of digital entertainment and games Robert Nashak revealed that the Eternity Clock series has been put on hold.
"Currently we're not working on a sequel, to be honest," Nashak told Digital Spy at the Games Developer Conference.

"So we're trying to figure out what is the best route for reaching Doctor Who fans with really, really great content."
Nashak made sure not to rule out returning to The Eternity Clock with a sequel down the road, but...

The free-to-play Mmo is coming to PCs in March and we've got all kinds of information about how you'll be helping the Doctor in his latest adventure.
As a property, Doctor Who kind of seems like a no-brainer for the video game treatment: expansive fiction in a pretty open universe, all manner of improbable sci-fi technology featuring deadly, exotic alien enemies across time.
