Campaign 4 of Critical Role has been a whirlwind since it debuted on Oct. 2 last year. After a four-episode Overture introducing the cast, characters, world, and lore of Aramán (a world entirely different from the previous campaign’s Exandria), the 13-player cast split into three tables: Soldiers, Seekers, and Schemers.
Over the past few months, these three tables have taken very different paths, but according to a blog post on Critical Role’s streaming app, Beacon, they’ll be reuniting later this month.
Critical Role’s latest episode from Campaign 4, “Good Tidings,” followed the Schemers table as they uncovered a sinister plot involving the Sundered Houses and King Augustus of Timmony at the Archanade gala. Episode 25 is set to release this week on May 7, when viewers will finally get answers on what happens next. However, next week will also notably signal the end of the Schemers table’s current arc.
“As our fated conspirators converge and the curtain rises, the far-flung adventurers of Aramán will reunite as their saga reaches its first crescendo starting May 21st,” Critical Role shared on Beacon. Because each table’s arc ends with a one-week break, May 14 is likely to be the week without a new Campaign 4 episode.
The tables first split in November 2025, and while there have been highs and lows as fans adjust to the West Marches-style structure, we can’t deny that we’re looking forward to what the tables’ switch-up will look like when the cast reunites. More importantly, it looks as though things are coming to a head, with each table uncovering vital information about the oppressive Sundered Houses, their shady dealings with one another, and their impact on the innocent people of Aramán. With a reunion on the horizon, what will the Sundered Houses’ next move be, and will the three tables be prepared to tackle them head-on? Guess we’ll have to wait until May 21 to find out.
In other news, Critical Role is finally addressing a feature that Beacon members have been desperate for since the app’s debut two years ago: Beacon is finally launching on Smart TVs. While there has been no confirmation of when Critters can expect to enjoy Critical Role in their living room via Beacon, the company confirmed that it is “developing dedicated apps for major platforms” and that this will be at “no additional cost” to Beacon membership.
Thanks, Critical Role, it was about time.
