Development
The Mighty Nein Origins: Fjord Stone was scheduled for publication by Dark Horse Comics, originally with a July 12, 2022 release for book retailers and digital platforms and a July 13, 2022 release for comic shops. However, due to the 2021–2022 global supply chain crisis and unidentified circumstances with creative teams, many Critical Role titles were delayed, and Fjord Stone was postponed to instead release December 14, 2022 at comic shops and January 10, 2023 at bookstores and retailers.

The graphic novel was originally announced as the fifth installment, after Nott the Brave, but it is currently set to release fourth after Nott the Brave was subsequently delayed to release after it.
