Critical Role Brings Exandria to Life in First-Ever Video Game Adventure

Fans of Critical Role have something monumental to celebrate. The beloved series is venturing into the gaming world with an exciting project right on the horizon. As fans have long-awaited, the world of Exandria is finally being developed into a video game, marking a significant milestone for the expanding Critical Role universe.

A Long-Anticipated Development

Incredible news for fans of the Dungeons & Dragons-inspired series, Critical Role has teamed up with Los Angeles-based indie studio AdHoc Studio to co-create a video game set in the enchanting realm of Exandria. As stated in GosuGamers, details of this ambitious project were confirmed in an exclusive interview with Variety. Although for now, patient anticipation is required, as the game is still in its early development stages.

The Origin of an Unexpected Partnership

The partnership between Critical Role and AdHoc Studio had an unusual start. It began unexpectedly when Travis Willingham, Critical Role’s CEO and a veteran voice actor, was captivated by the tone and animation of AdHoc’s upcoming narrative game, Dispatch. This instant connection led to further discussions and, ultimately, the collaboration that brings the dream of an Exandria-based game to reality.

What to Expect: From Dungeons to Pixels

Though details remain sparse, excitement continues to build around the potential storylines and gameplay mechanics this game might offer. Currently, the development team is busy exploring the scope, budget, and essential features of the game. According to Travis Willingham, setting the game in Exandria provides a rich tapestry of adventure and creativity.

Dispatch: The Precursor to Exandria’s Game

While Critical Role fans wait for the Exandria game, AdHoc Studio’s Dispatch offers a taste of what’s to come. Scheduled for release this year, Dispatch is a “superhero workplace comedy” that blends humor, strategy, and management into an engaging gameplay experience.

Expanding the Critical Role Universe

Critical Role has transitioned from a streamed Dungeons & Dragons campaign to a sprawling multimedia brand. From animated series like “The Legend of Vox Machina” to tie-in novels and comics, the franchise continues to enthrall audiences around the globe. The inclusion of a video game is just another step toward building an even more immersive universe.

Fans are on the edge of their seats, waiting for the day when they can dive into the vibrant world of Exandria, cast spells, and partake in adventures only previously imagined on the tabletop. Stay tuned as this exciting journey unfolds.
