A Dispatch sequel is a whole lot more likely now that Dispatch season 1 is such a big hit: 'We're going to have to at least think about season 2 now'

A Dispatch Sequel Becomes More Likely After Season 1's Success

Ad Hoc Studio was uncertain about the future of Dispatch before its release. The superhero workplace comedy Dispatch quickly became a surprise hit, selling one million copies within just 10 days.

Although the first season of Dispatch has not been fully released yet, the strong performance has greatly increased the chances of a second season. Pierre Shorette, co-founder of Ad Hoc Studios, shared in a Friends Per Second podcast interview:

“We're going to have to at least think about season two now. That was a question mark three weeks ago. So that's great—it's a very cool problem to have.”

To clarify, three weeks ago was right before Dispatch launched. This unexpected success poses a positive challenge for the developers.

The Legacy of Telltale and Dispatch’s Opportunity

As PC Gamer's Jody Macgregor noted, no game has truly carried on Telltale's legacy after its sudden and troubled closure. While Telltale’s work was influential, the void it left remains largely unfilled.

Dispatch, created by a studio founded by former Telltale veterans, may be stepping into this gap, bringing fresh life to a style of narrative-driven gaming.

Key Points

Author’s summary: Dispatch's surprising early success has turned uncertainty into plans for season two, potentially reviving Telltale-style narrative games through a fresh superhero workplace comedy.
