During a recent profile in Rolling Stone, Critical Role's Laura Bailey confirmed that the team has been "talking about creating a video game since we first started playing together." And according to Travis Willingham, those discussions may lead to something more concrete in the near future.

"I would say it's an active pursuit on our end," said Willingham. "And hopefully, we'll have something really exciting to share, maybe around the end of the year, maybe at the beginning of 2025, just in time for our 10-year anniversary. But it's something we've definitely had our minds on. Those collaborations we've had with various partners have been little toe dips in the pool just to see how it feels. You know, there's a lot of upheaval in the interactive space right now. And we've seen studios sort of bear and weather those strains.
