Critical Role Releases Official Trailer For Campaign 4

After months of waiting, Critical Role‘s Campaign 4 is just two weeks away! Over the last few days the CR social media channels have been leaking out each character one by one and who will play ’em, and as of today we’ve got a full list — and a trailer. Prepare to meet:

• Sir Julien Davinos, played by Matthew Mercer
• Teor Pridesire, played by Travis Willingham
• Murray Mag’nesson, played by Marisha Ray
• Bolaire Lathalia, played by Taliesin Jaffe
• Vaelus, played by Ashley Johnson
• Halandil Fang, played by Liam O’Brien
• Wicander Halovar, played by Sam Riegel
• Thimble, played by Laura Bailey
• Azune Nayar, played by Luis Carazo
• Kattigan Vale, played by Robbie Daymond
• Occtis Tachonis, played by Alexander Ward
• Thaisha Lloy, played by Aabria Iyengar
• Tyranny, played by Whitney Moore

At 13 players, it’s the largest cast a CR campaign has ever boasted. And we’re not in Exandria anymore — the new campaign takes place in the land of Aramán, which has just gone through some kind of calamity that resulted in the deaths of several deities:

Hero to many. Enemy to some. When Thjazi Fang is marked for execution, various figures from across his remarkable life unite to uncover the truth behind his grim fate. In a land still suffering from the fallout of dead gods and living in the shadow of a tumultuous rebellion, these disparate people will come together across the fractured world of Aramán and connect in ways they never imagined. As hope and victory fade, a question hangs over Aramán. Without the Gods, what great deeds now fall to us? And who, or what, shall grab their crown for themselves?

Campaign 4 will utilize a West Marches–style structure with rotating tables, and the first four episodes will be the “Overture,” acting as an introduction to the new world and its characters through intersecting scenes. They will split into three groups at the end though, the Soldiers, Schemers, and Seekers – and that change will last for the rest of the campaign, albeit with overarching themes tying things together.

Critical Role’s Campaign 4 will premiere on Beacon.tv, Critical Role’s YouTube and Twitch channels on October 2, with the VOD available for everyone the following Monday. Podcast episodes will be available in two parts: the first one week after the premiere, and the second on the following Tuesday. Beacon members will get a bonus: Critical Role Cooldown for Campaign 4, a post-show series starring the cast.
