Critical Role has announced a new one-shot adventure that will merge the mechanics of its tabletop role-playing game, Daggerheart, with the universe of Remedy Entertainment's upcoming video game, Control: Resonant. This Altered World Event will feature Critical Role cast members Marisha Ray, Travis Willingham, and Sam Riegel, alongside Sean Durrie, who voices Dylan Faden in Control: Resonant.
Renauldo Takes the DM's Seat
Guiding the players through this crossover will be Zachery Renauldo, making his debut as a Game Master for Critical Role. Renauldo is a familiar face to fans, having previously appeared as Barnaby in the Suikoden special and Alphonse in the Age of Umbra: Sallowlands mini-campaign. His background includes creating content for YouTube and TikTok, where he has showcased the humorous aspects of Dungeons & Dragons.
The one-shot promises to explore a "warped Manhattan" on the verge of "paranatural annihilation." This setting aligns with the reality-bending nature of the Control franchise and will likely leverage Daggerheart's Hope and Fear mechanics. This collaboration follows Critical Role's recent Questwatch adventure, led by Matthew Mercer, which tied into Blizzard Entertainment's Overwatch during BlizzCon.
The Altered World Event is scheduled to air on Tuesday, September 22, at 7 p.m. PT, and will be broadcast live on Twitch, YouTube, and Beacon.
