Critical Role Announces New Video Game Set in Exandria

Critical Role and AdHoc Studio are developing a new video game set in Exandria.

Critical Role Expands with Original Exandria Video Game

Critical Role is moving into the video game realm with a new title set in its well-known world of Exandria. The game is a collaboration between Critical Role and AdHoc Studio, known for their innovative storytelling. The project aims to create a unique interactive experience, building on the success of Critical Role's existing media, including animates and actual-play videos. While details about the game’s plot are still under wraps, it will share a storytelling format with another game from AdHoc, DISPATCH, which combines humor with decision-making in a superhero setting. Unlike many adaptations, this project is the first original video game for Critical Role, signaling a new frontier for expanding the Exandria universe. Fan-favorite voice actors from the series, including Travis Willingham and Laura Bailey, are expected to lend their voices to the game.

As Critical Role ventures further into video gaming, it taps into a growing market where fans want more interactions within their favorite universes. The collaboration with AdHoc Studio suggests a commitment to maintaining high narrative quality. Given the positive reception of similar Dungeons & Dragons adaptations, like Baldur's Gate 3, the expectations for the Critical Role game are high. This project could redefine what fans expect from role-playing games by merging traditional gameplay with engaging storytelling and character development. If successful, it may pave the way for more collaborations in the evolving landscape of digital gaming.
