The trailer for Critical Role’s Campaign 4 debuted Thursday exclusively via Variety.

Premiering Oct. 2, the new campaign will leave Exandria to introduce Aramán, a new world for the Critical Role franchise, and feature Brennan Lee Mulligan as Game Master, marking the first time Matthew Mercer has not led a main campaign for the Dungeons & Dragons-inspired roleplaying series.

Here’s the official description for Campaign 4:

A hero to many, and 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.

Against this backdrop, the cast will traverse the new world of Aramán in a West Marches-style approach to gameplay where the story unfolds through the perspectives of three distinct rotating tables: the valiant Soldiers, the vigorous Seekers, and the veiled Schemers. As their paths converge, we’ll dive deeper into Aramán, a world of wonder with sorcery stemming from the graveyard of the gods and carrying forward the spirit of epic sagas reminiscent of The Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones.

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?

The Campaign 4 cast includes Laura Bailey, Taliesin Jaffe, Ashley Johnson, Mercer (taking a break from his normal role as GM), Liam O’Brien, Marisha Ray, Sam Riegel, Travis Willingham, Luis Carazo, Robbie Daymond, Aabria Iyengar, Whitney Moore and Alexander Ward, who will participate in a rotating tables format.

Per Critical Role, Campaign 4 will be played using Dungeons & Dragons (2024 rules) as its game system, as well as some “homebrew” elements created by Jeremy Crawford and Chris Perkins at Critical Role’s Darrington Press.

Campaign 4 will premiere on Critical Role’s streamer Beacon.tv, as well as the Critical Role YouTube and Twitch channels Oct. 2. The first episode will be available on VOD available the following Monday.
