A new Critical Role anthology book is on the way from Random House Worlds.
On June 23, 2026, Random House Worlds, an imprint of Random House, a division of Penguin Random House, will publish Critical Role: The Mighty Nein – Stories Untold, an anthology celebrating the massively popular media company Critical Role.
Following the success of Critical Role: Vox Machina—Stories Untold published by Random House Worlds in March 2025, this new anthology shifts the focus to Critical Role’s Mighty Nein campaign. With their hope, unbreakable bonds, and larger-than-life commitment to heroism in a dark world, The Mighty Nein touched hearts everywhere they went—both those of their fans and their fellow denizens of Exandria. This collection spotlights nine characters whose lives were changed by the Mighty Nein but whose stories have yet to be told.
Within its pages, Essek Thelyss grapples with the choices of his past and the potential of his future (as told by Dani Carr), Isharnai deals with the emotional aftermath of a fate-altering cupcake (as told by Kiri Callaghan), Pumat Sol returns to his shop after the fight with Obann and the Mighty Nein, only to find that his adventure is not quite done (as told by Mike Chen), plus six more hilarious, heartbreaking, and heroic tales written by Betsy Aoki, Mae Catt, Rin Chupeco, Nino Cipri, Nadia El-Fassi, and Chase K.
Complete with a foreword by Taliesin Jaffe, the legend of the mighty adventuring party grows with these nine tales from some of the most memorable characters who fought with—and against—the Mighty Nein!
