Travis Willingham: Critical Role Video Game Announcement Imminent

Author:Kristen Update:May 28,2025

If you're a fan of Critical Role, the beloved Dungeons & Dragons show, you might already be buzzing with excitement over its upcoming leap into the gaming world. During a recent interview with Business Insider, CEO Travis Willingham hinted that the first major video game based on the series could be announced "any day now." While details remain scarce, Willingham emphasized that the team behind the project is "hard at work," crafting something truly special.

Describing the game, Willingham painted a picture of immersive storytelling where players can take control of the narrative. He mentioned that fans might encounter not only beloved characters but also explore new aspects of Exandria, the rich world that has captivated audiences worldwide.

The Critical Role universe has grown significantly since its launch, thanks in part to its successful Amazon Prime Video spinoff, The Legend of Vox Machina. However, this video game will stand independently, offering fresh experiences while complementing existing projects. As Willingham noted in Rolling Stone, the team has been on a journey to create this spinoff for several years, experimenting with partnerships to better understand the evolving interactive landscape.

While no official release date has been set, anticipation continues to build. For now, fans can look forward to updates on The Legend of Vox Machina Season 4, which offers another exciting chapter in the Critical Role saga.
