Sorry, no info about the next episode of Side Quest is available yet.
The TV show is either in vacation or waiting to start their new season. When information about future episodes becomes available, it will be posted here.
I quite enjoyed all four eps, they showed Mythic Quest from a completely different perspective which I thought was very original. If they were any more to do with Mythic Quest, they'd just be another Mythic Quest episode.
But then again, that's usually what a Spin-Off is :) - Same sauce, different noodles.

In my opinion, no. If you watch Side Quest first it will give you no real insight into the main series - only a glimpse maybe.
On the other hand that makes it save to watch without giving anything away :)
PS: Maybe the show is actually better if you don't look for a connection to the main series.

Expanding the Mythic Quest universe, this series explores the lives of employees, players, and fans who are impacted by the beloved game.
This show has about as much to do with as had with the graphic novels by Neil Gaiman.
Too bad, given it has probably the best title ever for a Spin-Off series...
I was hoping this would be a show that takes us behind the scenes of Mythic Quest (the company), showing the impact of what the decisions from the MQ main crew have on the regular employees.
I thought of Michelle from season one with her snarky comments. I would watch an episode about what a work day would look like for her when all the other stuff is going on, something like that.
But no we get the most distant, unrelated stories you could imagine. As it is, it's a 2/5 at best.
However, even like it is the show could've been good - if the stories would actually put the relation to Mythic Quest at the center.
With a few small tweaks those four stories could've been a lot more interesting, for example:
Episode 1
Instead of him being already on vacation they could've shown us the last day of work before he get's on vacation. This is always a crazy day at work and I bet they could've made it a great watch.
Episode 2
The comic doesn't show up for some reason, but C.W. happens to be in the store (a bit convenient, I know :) ) and he tells the story of the comic to the superfans. While the story is told we get to see it like an actual MQ cinematic trailer.
This could've been a great way to show us a little bit of the Story of the game Mythic Quest.
Episode 3
This episode had the perfect set-up. She is a talented cellist who likes playing FPS games with her roommate. She get's the position in the orchestra but struggles to connect with the music.
Solution? She starts playing Mythic Quest to better understand the story behind the music...simple but efficient way to connect.
This could've been a great way to show us a little bit of the Story of the game Mythic Quest.
Episode 4
Again, great set-up...but then they focus on the inner-guild conflicts instead of the game. The glitch could've been the way to introduce a cameo from someone.
Like having been deprived of the loot for a boss, they write a ticket - while they wait for a Gamemaster to respond, they could talk about all the crazy stuff MQ introduced in the past (Poppy's shuffle, Brad's casino, etc.) - something like that.
Gamemaster responds per chat and get's in a big argument with the players. In the end Gamemaster shows up and joins voice chat and it turns out to be Poppy since it's Christmas and most other people are out of the office.
And instead of showing us clips from cinematic trailers or ingame, this show could've shown us maybe Fan Art or epic moments or fails from famous twitch streamers - just focus on the gaming aspect of the show a bit more.
