The talent behind Critical Role have previously hinted at their collective desire to create a video game. Now, it’s finally happening as Critical Role has partnered up with AdHoc, the developer behind the upcoming superhero action-RPG Dispatch.
According to Variety, the new game will be set in Exandria, the world that was created for Critical Role’s fantasy campaigns. Critical Role’s Travis Willingham also indicated that characters from the Vox Machina, Mighty Nein, and Bells Hells could appear, but the story “would have to be something brand new.”
Willingham was instrumental in bringing AdHoc into co-development on the new game after he was cast in Dispatch. He noted that Critical Role wants to follow Dispatch’s template and open up the narrative based on player choices.
