TRAILER

Based on Critical Role’s second campaign, The Mighty Nein follows a group of misfits who must rise to the challenge of saving their world.

The look of this trailer was inspired by the beacon, a swirling magical object seen early in the piece. Its mix of deep blues, greens, and cosmic energy became the driving force behind the design, helping set the tone for the story’s mystical world.
