Is there a new Critical Role tonight? When is the next Critical Role episode? What is the Critical Role release schedule? These are just a few of the questions you might have if you're diving into Critical Role Campaign 4, with its expanded cast, new 'West Marches' narrative, and whole new magical universe in the form of GM Brennan Lee Mulligan's Aramán. If you'll give us a moment, we're here to offer a little bit of help - there are 23 episodes so far; we've listed (and ranked) the new characters elsewhere; and as for when new episodes come out...

Well, that's what this article is here to tell you.

Critical Role Schedule, FAQ #1: What time, exactly, is the Critical Role release schedule?

New episodes of Critical Role Campaign 4 air every Thursday night at 10PM EST / 7PM PST, on Critical Role's YouTube and Twitch channels. However, if you prefer to watch the VOD version of each Campaign 4 episode or listen to the (members-exclusive) podcast version, then you're going to have to wait longer than if you watch the episodes live. And since we're fairly certain you're here to learn the earliest time you can get to your next adventure in Aramán, you probably fit into the latter category.

Critical Role Schedule, FAQ #2: When is the next Critical Role episode?

• Critical Role campaign 4, episode 29 release date & time: June 11 at 10 PM EST
• Critical Role campaign 4, episode 30 release date & time: June 18 at 10 PM EST
• Critical Role campaign 4, episode 31 release date & time: June 25 at 10 PM EST

As of this writing, the next episode in Campaign 4 will be its twenty-ninth. Yeah, we're already a staggering 28 episodes into the first adventure outside of Exandria for the core Critical Role campaigns, and that next chapter, Critical Role Campaign 4 Episode 29, airs June 4 at 10 PM EST / 7PM PST. After that, you can pretty much predict which episode will come when, following a weekly pattern that looks something like the above.

As you can see, though, those official dates are to be announced, because as you're about to find out, Critical Role Campaign 4 is less predictable than previous campaigns.

Critical Role Schedule, FAQ #3: Is Critical Role Campaign 4 taking a break?

Critical Role Campaign 4 has yet to announce that they will be taking a break after episode 31. However, there are no episodes currently on the official Critical Role schedule calendar for the weeks following Critical Role campaign 4, episode 31's release date of June 25. What's more, two weeks after that is the beginning of Critical Role's Age of Umbra: Sallowlands mini-campaign, which will last for six episodes and air on Thursdays.

As Critical Role themselves posted to their official blog on March 9, episode breaks are going to be wholly unpredictable this campaign. "Instead of a set last-Thursday-of-the-month break," wrote the Rolers, referring to their Campaign 1-3 schedules, "We’ll be laying down our dice wherever the story finds a natural pause. We’ll also be taking time off around special holidays here in the States!"

In other words, no, Critical Role Campaign 4 will not be every week. But which weeks won't it release a new episode? Well, the team has been good enough to give us advance warning before in some cases, but we can't as easily predict a long-term break schedule as we used to be able to.

And speaking of things we can't predict...

Critical Role Schedule, FAQ #4: How many episodes will Critical Role Campaign 4 be?

• Critical Role Campaign 1 (The Legend of Vox Machina) - 115 episodes
• Critical Role Campaign 2 (The Mighty Nein) - 141 episodes
• Critical Role Campaign 3 (Belles Helles) - 121 episodes

The only way to actually know the answer to this question for sure is by speaking to a time traveller, one who hails from the far-off future where Critical Role Campaign 4 has already wrapped. If we had to offer our stuck-in-linear-time estimate as to how many episodes the whole campaign will end up being, we'd venture the guess that there would be >150 episodes, considering the previous three campaigns' episode totals looked like the chart above.

But even with that approximation, we have to point out the major difference between Critical Role's previous chapters and this current one - namely, that Campaign 4's predecessors all followed one straightforward narrative with the same eight player characters and episodes that directly followed one another. Campaign 4, however, boasts a whopping 13 player characters, broken into 3 separate mini-tables with storylines that run concurrently to their fellows.

But hey, this uncertainty won't stop us from keeping an eye out for official episode count announcements from the Critical Role team, and as soon as we get a full count confirmed, you'll be the first person we tell. In the meantime, if you do happen to possess the ability to time-travel, please give us a ring.

Critical Role Campaign 4 is streaming now on the group's Beacon, YouTube, and Twitch channels.
