Call of the Netherdeep will be out in March 2022. This adventure is set in Exandria and is for character levels 3-12. Interestingly, it also bears Critical Role branding at the top and bottom of the cover.

This is the third Critical Role D&D hardcover. The Tal'Dorei Campaign Guide came out in 2017, and the Explorer's Guide to Wildemount came out in 2020.

Darrington Press, CR's publishing arm, also announced the Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn in July of this year with a release date of late 2021/early 2022.

An epic Critical Role campaign for the world’s greatest roleplaying game.

The greed of mortals has awakened a powerful entity long thought destroyed. For eons, this mighty champion of the gods has been imprisoned in the darkest depths of Exandria. His name has been forgotten, as have his heroic deeds. Languishing in despair, he calls out for new heroes to save him.

Inspired by the campaigns of the hit series Critical Role, this adventure begins in the Wastes of Xhorhas and leads to the glimmering oasis-city of Ank’Harel on the continent of Marquet, and from there into a sunken realm of gloom, corruption, and sorrow known as the Netherdeep. Above it all, the red moon of Ruidus watches, twisting the fates of those who have the power to shape the course of history.

Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep contains seven chapters of thrilling adventure, new creatures and magic items, and a poster map of Ank’Harel.
  • First major adventure module within Critical Role’s world of Exandria, taking players from levels 3-12.
  • Multi-continental story that spans the scarred Wastes of Xhorhas, introduces the continent of Marquet, and eventually plunges players into the Netherdeep—a terrifying cross between the Far Realm and the deep ocean.
  • Bursting with lore and all new art depicting Exandria.
  • Includes new magic items and creatures and introduces new rival NPCs.

Or how many new and cool things does a setting need to be considered "one of the best" by you?
I'd just like to reiterate that I don't think the Wildemount book is particularly new or innovative. It's a callback to the 3.5e era setting guides, particularly in the way it presents details like population (including racial percentage breakdowns), government, etc for each settlement and the like.

For me, that's a positive, as I've missed those details in the other 5e setting material. However, I know that not everyone here has been around since the 3.5e days so might not be aware of that link (and might thus view it as "new").

I do find it funny when people grouse about Matt Mercer like he's a kid on their lawns...when he has a very 2E/3E aesthetic.

yeah, it's just heads and an angel... I'd expect an U'ktoa eye or something like that...
To be honest, I didn't like the cover art for Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, either. I haven't liked either of these covers, and far prefer some of the amazing art that are contained in these books (I'm going off of the minor art previews for the new book, btw). Just take a look at this amazing full-page art of what I assume is Marquet.
