The official Mighty Nein trailer from Prime Video is finally here, and it promises an epic, action-packed journey for the beloved Critical Role crew. The animated series, and this new look, delivers on all the chaotic energy, high-stakes drama, and compelling character interactions we expect from the group.

The trailer sets a dire stage right from the start. We learn that a powerful artifact, “The Lockson Beacon”—described not as a religious relic but a dangerous arcane weapon—has crossed into the region, signaling that war is imminent. The powerful forces who recruit the group believe the heroes are the only hope of stopping it. This sets up a classic reluctant hero narrative, perfectly captured by the group’s self-deprecating introduction.

The core charm of The Mighty Nein trailer centers on their colorful and chaotic composition. They are introduced with hilariously humble titles: “a homeless wizard, an inebriated goblin, a shipwreck sailor, a cocky ring master, a temperamental monk, and chaos incarnate”. They’re not legendary figures; they are “nobodies,” but a voice of reason assures them this is precisely what makes them so dangerous—they will never be seen coming.

We are treated to flashes of intense, beautifully animated combat, powerful magical duels, and glimpses of emotional character development that highlight their evolution. The trailer emphasizes that their bond is built on “shared purpose, shared pain, but mostly shared strength”. Their adventurous philosophy is summarized perfectly: “What do we do? What we do best: make terrible choices”. The excitement for the series is palpable after watching the full The Mighty Nein trailer. Get ready to join Jester, Caleb, Nott, Fjord, Beau, and Yasha when the series drops on November 19, 2025 on Prime Video.
