The cast of Critical Role have been busy, and it's not difficult to notice.
With their fourth campaign beginning last month, with an updated West-Marches format and new DM Brennan Lee Mulligan, on top of The Mighty Nein's premiere release next month on Amazon Prime, and the fourth season of The Legend of Vox Machina, Critical Role has been releasing content after content, and they're only going to keep going.
It isn't surprising that the case of voice actors have come together to help create a video game, it's only surprising how long it has taken them.
As of the 22nd of October, AdHoc Studio released the highly anticipated interactive storytelling game called Dispatch. The game has been doing very well on Stream, with over thousands of highly positive reviews already surrounding the first two episodes out of eight. Dispatch is an incredibly fun, interactive game with familiar voices and fluid, bright graphics that prove it, and AdHoc Studios, to be something to keep an eye on in the future.
Not only has Critical Role been highly supportive of the first release of this new individual studio, with merch set to be created and a streamed one-shot inspired by the game to be released on October 30th, but they have partnered up to create a game together.
That's right. Ten years of working through the stories in the world of Exandria and getting to learn about it through Matthew Mercer's DMing, as well as an officially released campaign setting book, and we will finally be able to play in the world ourselves with graphics, familiar characters and voices, and all.
Not much has been revealed about the video game just yet, but fans are already getting excited for its release, and with the so-far success of AdHoc and Dispatch, there is only going to be more and more reasons to get excited.
For years, a Critical Role videogame has been requested by fans over and over again. After all, a bunch of video game Voice Actors come together to create their own story that has as much traction as Critical Role does, you have to expect they'd make one eventually.
And now they finally are.
