The wildly popular Dungeons & Dragons show, Critical Role, is on the cusp of releasing its first major video game, with CEO Travis Willingham hinting at an imminent announcement – potentially "any day now." This exciting news emerged during a recent interview with Business Insider. While details remain scarce regarding the game's title and its precise connection to the Critical Role universe, Willingham confirmed the team is diligently working on the project.

"They'll actually be getting their hands 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 explained, highlighting the game's interactive nature.

Willingham, a prominent actor and Critical Role star, co-founded the company alongside other well-known voice actors like Liam O'Brien, Marisha Ray, Sam Riegel, Ashley Johnson, Laura Bailey, Matthew Mercer, and others. Since its inception, Critical Role has blossomed into a multifaceted entertainment universe, notably with the successful Amazon Prime Video spin-off, Critical Role: The Legend of Vox Machina.

The upcoming video game will join Critical Role's expanding portfolio, though it won't necessarily be directly tied to existing projects. In December 2024, Willingham revealed to Rolling Stone that the team was actively pursuing a video game spin-off, describing it as the culmination of a multi-year endeavor. Whether the game will follow one of the group's established campaigns or introduce an original storyline within the Exandria world remains to be seen.

While an earlier prediction suggested an announcement before the end of 2024 or early 2025, the imminent release now seems even closer. "Those collaborations we’ve had with various partners have been little toe dips in the pool just to see how it feels," Willingham told Rolling Stone. "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."

A release date for the Critical Role video game is yet to be announced. In the meantime, fans can look forward to further updates on The Legend of Vox Machina Season 4.
