The world of Exandria is spreading. It’s heading to Europe, it’s available to enjoy in its original form in Critical Role‘s actual-play videos, and you can even find it in animated form in The Legend of Vox Machina. But soon, you’ll be able to explore Exandria in a whole new way, with a Critical Role video game that’s heading to us from Critical Role and AdHoc Studio. The duo will first be teaming up on a fun game called DISPATCH, and then they’ll take those neat storytelling abilities and bring us the first-ever Critical Role game. Here’s what we know.
A release shares the following about the very first (though we bet not last) Critical Role video game. “Critical Role and AdHoc Studio are co-developing an original video game set in Critical Role’s universe, embracing the same innovative approach to interactive storytelling that defines DISPATCH.” And “The collaboration marks the official development of Critical Role’s first video game, set in the original world of Exandria.”
Michael Choung, CEO of AdHoc notes, “It’s the kind of collaboration you hope for. We’ve known the Critical Role team for years, so when we finally started kicking around ideas, it all just clicked. It made sense in the best way possible, so we’re thrilled we get to team up and cause some trouble together.”
No details surrounding the plot of the Critical Role game are available yet. We also don’t have a specific release date for when the title will release. However, what we do know is that the game will adopt a similar format to the upcoming AdHoc Studio video game, DISPATCH, which is set to release in 2025 and feature Critical Role voice talent.
DISPATCH, an interactive storytelling game, shares the following synopsis: “Dispatch is a superhero workplace comedy where choices matter. Manage a dysfunctional team of misfit heroes and strategize who to send to emergencies around the city, all while balancing office politics, personal relationships, and your own quest to become a hero.”
The relationship between Critical Role, DISPATCH, and AdHoc Studio first began when “Critical Role’s CEO, cast member, and veteran voice actor Travis Willingham received an audition for DISPATCH, an interactive narrative game built in AdHoc’s signature style.” Willingham reveals, “Just from looking over the audition and game materials, I knew there was something special about what AdHoc was creating, and I immediately reached out. The design, tone, style, and storytelling of DISPATCH jumped off the page, and I knew, given the pedigree of the folks at AdHoc, this was a team we wanted to collaborate with. Critical Role is always looking to build with people who are innovating around new ways to deliver story, character and worldbuilding, and AdHoc fits that perfectly.”
All of this to say that you can catch Critical Role‘s Travis Willingham, Matthew Mercer, and Laura Bailey on DISPATCH, and playing that game might give you an idea of the shape the Critical Role video game might take. And soon, a Critical Role video game will roll out of the ether, and all the citizens of Exandria will rejoice.
Dungeons & Dragons has had great success in the video game world recently, with Baldur’s Gate 3 taking the world by storm. So we have no doubt, a Critical Role video game will only do more for these two great tastes that taste great together.
