Critical Role, the hugely popular Dungeons & Dragons show featuring voice acting stars like Matthew Mercer, Laura Bailey, and Travis Willingham, is bringing its epic Campaign 3 to a close next week with a spectacular eight-and-a-half-hour livestream. Polygon reports the finale begins February 6th at 7 PM Pacific/10 PM Eastern (3 AM February 7th UK time), airing simultaneously on Critical Role's YouTube and Twitch channels, as well as their membership service, Beacon.
This momentous episode concludes the thrilling adventures of the Bells Hells party, a journey that began back in October 2021. While no direct spin-offs are currently confirmed, Critical Role assures fans that the stories within the world of Exandria will continue to unfold.
"This finale for Campaign 3 marks the end of one very epic chapter of Exandrian history," stated creative director and cast member Marisha Ray. "But while we celebrate the end of this chapter, the story continues with a simple turn of the page. I’m very excited to see what happens next in this story that remains to be written by the incredible emergent storytellers who are picking up the pen."
The end of Campaign 3 doesn't signal a break for Critical Role. Another Exandria Unlimited mini-series, comprising four episodes, premieres just a week later on February 14th. Numerous other shows and streams are also planned.
While the start date for Campaign 4 remains unannounced, past campaign intervals suggest it shouldn't be too long in coming. Considering the gap between previous campaigns (October 2017 to January 2018, and June 2021 to October 2021), an announcement—or even the launch—around Critical Role's 10th anniversary on March 12th seems a strong possibility.
