Critical Role Campaign 3 Ends Next Week With an 8 Hour Finale

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 or sequels for this specific storyline have been announced, Critical Role assures fans that the tales of Exandria, the world serving as the backdrop for all their campaigns, will continue.

"This finale for Campaign 3 marks the end of one very epic chapter of Exandrian history," shared creative director and cast member Marisha Ray. "But while we celebrate the end of this chapter, it’s important to know that 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 conclusion of Campaign 3 doesn't signal a lull in Critical Role's activity. Another Exandria Unlimited mini-series, comprising four episodes, premieres just a week later on February 14th. Numerous other shows and streams are also planned for the future.

While the start date for Campaign 4 remains unannounced, past campaign intervals suggest it shouldn't be too long in coming. Considering the usual few-month gap between campaigns (e.g., Vox Machina concluded October 2017, Mighty Nein began January 2018; Mighty Nein ended June 2021, Campaign 3 started October 2021), an announcement, perhaps even the campaign's launch, around Critical Role's 10th anniversary on March 12th seems plausible.
