🚨Dispatch: Workplace Superhero Comedy With a Telltale Twist – Coming October 22

"When the cape comes off, the paperwork begins." That’s the hilarious yet heartfelt energy driving Dispatch, the upcoming episodic adventure game from AdHoc Studio, a team of ex-Telltale developers. Starring Aaron Paul and Jeffrey Wright, Dispatch mixes workplace comedy, superhero chaos, and strategy gameplay into one unforgettable ride. The official release date trailer has confirmed: the game launches October 22, 2025, for PC (Steam) and PlayStation 5, rolling out episodically through November 12, 2025.

🦸 The Premise: Superheroes Without the Spotlight

At its heart, Dispatch is a superhero workplace comedy. Players step into the shoes of Robert Robertson (Aaron Paul) — once known as the mighty Mecha Man — who finds himself grounded after his iconic mecha suit is destroyed. With no battles to fight, Robert takes up an unlikely new role: a dispatcher for rookie superheroes.

But dispatching heroes isn’t as simple as answering phones. You’ll need to manage your squad of quirky crime-fighters, send them to the right missions, and deal with egos, cooldowns, and sometimes… total disaster. As Jeffrey Wright’s voiceover warns in the trailer: “Even heroes need someone to keep the lights on.”

🎮 Gameplay: Telltale Roots With a Strategic Twist

Dispatch blends narrative-driven adventure with strategy and mini-games. Here’s what to expect:

• Dialogue Trees: Player choices shape relationships, humor, and story direction.

• Superhero Management: Assign the right hero to each crime or catastrophe on the Superhero Dispatch Network (SDN) map.

• Hacking Mini-Game: Solve quick puzzles and navigate timed challenges to keep your missions under control.

• Comedy & Chaos: Expect banter, workplace mishaps, and absurd hero antics in true The Office meets The Avengers fashion.

The episodic release model drops two episodes per week across four weeks, giving fans time to savor the narrative twists and replay decisions.

🌟 A Star-Powered Cast

The voice cast reads like a fan’s dream team:

• Aaron Paul as Robert Robertson (ex-Mecha Man)

• Jeffrey Wright in a central role guiding the workplace mayhem

• Laura Bailey, Erin Yvette, Matthew Mercer, Travis Willingham, and even internet stars like jacksepticeye and Cr1TiKaL

This ensemble brings both gravitas and comedy, delivering a mix of heartfelt character work and laugh-out-loud performances.

📺 Beyond Gaming: Critical Role & More

AdHoc Studios isn’t stopping at just the game. In July 2025, Critical Role Productions announced a collaboration with Dispatch — expanding into merchandise, tabletop RPGs, and even an animated series. It’s clear this franchise has ambitions far beyond its episodic debut.

🎬 Final Dispatch

Funny, heartfelt, and packed with superhero chaos, Dispatch is shaping up to be one of the most original narrative games of the year.
