As Larian Studios wraps up its work on Baldur's Gate 3 with the upcoming Patch 8, fans are wondering what the future of D&D-esque RPGs is – and Critical Role might just have the answer.
Speaking recently to Business Insider, Critical Role co-founder Travis Willingham reveals that the band of professional voice actors turned adventurers has a video game in the works – and fans won't have to wait much longer to learn more about it. He explains that the team is "hard at work" on a game, an entirely new avenue for Critical Role. While he doesn't say what the mysterious project has been titled, it'll be announced "any day" now.
"They'll actually be getting their hand on the stick and controlling the outcome of the story," describes Willingham, "changing what might be possible from not just some of their favorite characters, but new offerings in the world of Exandria." He doesn't get into further details regarding said characters or when and where in Exandria the upcoming game is set to take place, but it's exciting – especially with so few modern D&D titles to play.
Dungeons & Dragons' parent company Hasbro is currently "talking to lots of partners" about the next Baldur's Gate game and also has another shiny new D&D game in the works that stands separately from the series, though, so it seems fans of the tabletop gem have a lot to look forward to. While Larian Studios isn't making Baldur's Gate 4 itself, the team does have another game up its sleeve – its next RPG after Baldur's Gate 3.
