12th March signified a decade since the inception of the podcast-cum-Dungeons & Dragons media juggernaut Critical Role. To celebrate this milestone, the founders had an exclusive chat with Business Insider, revealing their future strategies for the franchise. A detail that has sparked excitement among tabletop RPG enthusiasts, particularly those who enjoy games such as Baldur’s Gate 3, is the rumor that Critical Role is developing a video game. This intriguing tidbit originates from CEO Travis Willingham, who hinted at an imminent official announcement regarding the new Critical Role video game. Intriguingly, we might receive additional information today during their live stream from campaign three.

The grand live broadcast for the 10th anniversary and finale of “Critical Role” campaign three is scheduled for Thursday, March 13th at either 7 PM PDT or 10 PM EDT. While Willingham hasn’t explicitly confirmed it, there’s a strong possibility that we could get some news about the “Critical Role” video game before anyone anticipated. As of now, we don’t have the title for the upcoming “D&D” game, but the hints and details released so far are generating quite a buzz among fans eager to learn more.

Above all, it’s crucial to know that the video game based on Critical Role will unfold in the original universe of Exandria, which was developed by Matt Mercer many years ago. Preliminary details suggest that the gameplay might draw inspiration from Baldur’s Gate 3. Matt Willingham has hinted that players will have a significant impact on the narrative, shaping its outcome. Moreover, familiar characters from Critical Role and new additions to the world of Exandria are expected. Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait for a major announcement to learn the title, release date, and the developer behind this exciting project.

As a devoted fan of Critical Role, I’ve been pondering who could potentially guide the upcoming project, given that the developer plays a crucial role in shaping even the most thrilling ventures. With several developers boasting experience in tabletop RPGs, there’s much anticipation among gamers about who would bring justice to Exandria’s captivating world.

Many of us have our fingers crossed for Obsidian Entertainment, fresh off the launch of Avowed, as they could be prime contenders to lead this project. After all, Critical Role has partnered with them in the past for voice acting in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, so it’s not far-fetched to imagine these creative forces coming together again.

It’s worth considering that, without a formal announcement, it could very well be Owlcat Games, known for their work on Pathfinder games such as Wrath of the Righteous, who might be chosen for the Critical Role video game. They possess the relevant experience in CRPG development and have just completed the final major update for Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. All things considered, the timing seems right, given whispers that Owlcat is on the verge of unveiling their next project.

It’s quite possible that Larian Studios won’t be a part of the upcoming project, given their past declarations of focusing on new projects outside of Dungeons & Dragons, following their significant contributions to Baldur’s Gate 3.
