Laura Bailey Shares Positive Update on Critical Role's Exandria Game

If you have been keeping an eye on the gaming news surrounding Critical Role’s expansion into the interactive space, you will be glad to hear that things are finally picking up steam. In a recent appearance on Mythical Kitchen's Last Meals, actor Laura Bailey provided a brief but optimistic status update on the upcoming Exandria videogame.

When asked about the project by host Josh Scherer, Bailey kept the specifics under wraps but confirmed that the team is deep in the process. "Things are shakin', they're movin', they're shakin', I can't say anything else other than that," Bailey noted, adding that there is "a lot of work being done and a lot of talks happening."

A Partnership Built on Past Success

Critical Role announced its partnership with developer AdHoc in July 2025. This isn't the two companies' first time working together; they previously collaborated to bring the superhero management sim Dispatch to life. The transition from a livestreaming titan to a game developer feels like a natural progression, especially given the success of the studio’s Amazon Prime series.

The project reached a major milestone back in 2024 when CEO Travis Willingham celebrated the formalization of the game’s development. While the team remains tight-lipped about the plot or mechanics, we know from a 2025 interview with Variety that the scope of the project is intended to be relatively humble. The studio is aiming for a development timeline spanning a couple of years.

What the Progress Means for 2026

We are now roughly one year into that projected window. While Bailey’s comments are short on technical details, the fact that she describes the project as "moving and shaking" suggests that the pre-production and early development phases are gaining significant momentum. After a long wait for fans of the franchise, it is heartening to hear that the gears are turning behind the scenes.

For those of us who have been following the show since its first season, the prospect of a fully-fledged Exandrian experience is a major event. While we are still waiting for a trailer or a concrete release window, the current status confirms that the project is well past the initial announcement phase and firmly in the works.
