AdHoc Studio has announced that its highly anticipated game, Dispatch, will be released on PC and PS5 on October 22. This episodic workplace superhero comedy adventure offers the unique experience of managing superhero crises while making narrative choices. Players will be called upon to deploy their team effectively, building relationships with various superheroes. The game will have two episodes released every week for four weeks, priced at $30 for the standard season or $40 for a deluxe edition, which includes a digital artbook and comics. The exciting voice cast includes Aaron Paul, Jeffrey Wright, and Laura Bailey, promising a captivating storytelling experience reminiscent of classic Telltale games.

What is Dispatch and what makes it unique?

Dispatch is a narrative adventure game that combines dialogue choices with strategic superhero deployment during crises. Developed by ex-Telltale staff, it offers an episodic format designed to enhance the player experience, making it feel akin to a weekly TV show premiere.

Dispatch draws on the legacy of Telltale Games, known for story-driven adventure titles like The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us. The game aims to evolve that style while stepping away from the limitations of the Telltale Engine. With its unique strategy layer and episodic release schedule, Dispatch seeks to create an engaging blend of storytelling and gameplay, appealing to fans of narrative adventures and superhero tales alike.
