The beloved Dungeons & Dragons show, Critical Role, is on the brink of launching its inaugural major video game, with CEO Travis Willingham hinting that an announcement could be just around the corner. During an insightful interview with Business Insider, the team shared their ambitious vision for the future. Although specifics about the game's title and its integration into the Critical Role universe remain under wraps, Willingham assured fans that the development team is diligently working behind the scenes.
Describing the upcoming video game, Willingham expressed excitement about the player's ability to influence the storyline directly. "They'll actually be getting their hand on the stick and controlling the outcome of the story, changing what might be possible from not just some of their favorite characters, but new offerings in the world of Exandria," he shared, highlighting the interactive nature of the game.
Willingham, who is not only an actor but also a key figure among Critical Role's stars, co-founded the company with fellow voice acting talents such as Liam O'Brien, Marisha Ray, Sam Riegel, Ashley Johnson, Laura Bailey, Matthew Mercer, and others. Since its inception, the show has blossomed into a vast universe of creative endeavors, with its Amazon Prime Video spinoff, Critical Role: The Legend of Vox Machina, being a standout success.
While the video game will complement Critical Role's existing projects, it won't necessarily be a direct continuation of any particular storyline. In a conversation with Rolling Stone in December 2024, Willingham revealed that the team was in the "active pursuit" of creating a Critical Role video game spinoff, indicating they were nearing the end of a multi-year development journey. Whether the game will explore one of the group's existing campaigns or introduce a fresh narrative within the Exandria universe is yet to be determined.
Originally, the team anticipated making an announcement before the end of 2024 or early 2025. Now, as we progress into the year, it seems that an announcement is imminent. Reflecting on the project's development, Willingham told Rolling Stone, "Those collaborations we’ve had with various partners have been little toe dips in the pool just to see how it feels. You know, there’s a lot of upheaval in the interactive space right now. And we’ve seen studios sort of bear and weather those strains. It’s trying to become smarter about it and find out how we might fit into that larger ecosystem."
While no release date for the Critical Role video game has been set, fans can stay updated with the latest developments on The Legend of Vox Machina Season 4.
