This year, we've already seen both Doctor Who and Torchwood shrunk down for the iPhone screen, and it would now seem that another popular BBC series is about to make the leap to smartphone.

In DNA Interactive's forthcoming iOS and Android Merlin spin-off - Merlin, the Game - players take control of the titular young wizard in a point-and-click adventure game.

Story details are sparse right now – all we know is that you’ll be "on a quest to help Arthur and Guinevere". We assume they’ll want help with something epic and life threatening, though, rather than just a spot of DIY.

Promising a mixture of puzzling and conversation, Merlin, the Game will contain an episodic structure, though whether that means new content appearing on a scheduled basis, or simply a bunch of in-app purchases available from the off is not yet clear.

Merlin, the Game will launch on Android and iOS devices in the first quarter of 2012.
