New Mighty Nein Trailer Released

A new trailer for Prime Video's The Mighty Nein series has been released. Prime Video unveiled the new trailer, seen below, at New York Comic-Con this morning. The new animated series, an adaptation of Critical Role's second campaign, will be released in November.


The trailer focuses on the Luxon Beacon, an artifact of power from the Kryn Dynasty. When a mage from the neighboring Dwendalian Empire gets his hands on it, war threatens to break out between the two countries. Based on the trailer, it appears that the Mighty Nein, a group of disparate heroes, are recruited to retrieve the Beacon and stop the threat.

While The Mighty Nein and its sister series The Legend of Vox Machina are both adaptation of Critical Role's various campaigns, the shows have deviated significantly from the live campaigns. From media released for The Mighty Nein, the animated series will follow the characters before they meet up and it appears that Trent Ikithon will be the main villain of the first season.

I am excited! C2 was when I discovered CR and was the campaign I watched the most (although it lost me like all other CR campaigns at some point).

C2 is my favorite of their campaigns, so I'm quite looking forward to this. They keep talking about how different its going to be and I'm really excited to see just what that will entail.

As someone fairly new to TTRPGs and their related media, I thoroughly enjoyed “The Legend of Vox Machina” and believe this looks at least as good—perhaps even better.

It looks really good - they've got the tone about right, IMO. I'm curious as to what they are doing with Yasha, given what an intermittent character she was in the first half of that campaign (of course, Pike was absent a lot from all of C1 and they still use her tons in LoVM).
