The game Dispatch has surpassed one million copies sold, even though the first season has not yet been fully released. This achievement shows that AdHoc Studios is aware of the significant success their project has achieved.
With the final episodes scheduled for release this week, fans eagerly anticipate more content. The unique mix of superhero comedy and management simulation has proven to be highly addictive, raising the question of a possible new season.
On the Friends Per Second podcast, AdHoc leads Nick Herman and Pierre Shorette discussed the prospects following the game's popularity. Shorette stated,
“We're going to have to at least think about Season 2 now.”
Dispatch Season 1 reached the million sales milestone within just ten days, demonstrating strong demand for Telltale-like narrative experiences.
AdHoc also plans to collaborate closely with Critical Role backers on a new game set in the world of Exandria. Because of this, even if Season 2 of Dispatch is pursued, it may be a while before it appears.
Fans hope it will avoid the lengthy development period experienced by titles like The Wolf Among Us 2.
Dispatch seems to reach its peak momentum around Episode 5, with its star-studded superhero storyline aiming to modernize the Telltale formula. Players might find themselves replaying episodes, such as trying to perfect Flambae's karaoke performance.
Author’s summary: Dispatch’s rapid sales success and unique blend of genres set high expectations for a Season 2, though AdHoc's new projects may delay its release.
