During the ceremony of The Game Awards, one of the highlights was the appearance of Aaron Paul, known for his role in Breaking Bad, and Laura Bailey, a voice actress, who announced the game Dispatch. Scheduled for release in 2025, this narrative title is the work of AdHoc Studio, a team made up of former developers from Telltale Games. The game will feature an impressive cast that includes Paul, Bailey, Jeffrey Wright, Erin Yvette, Jacksepticeye, among others; a combination of recognized Hollywood talents and prominent voice actors in the gaming industry.

Dispatch, which presents an animated style, will offer narratively rich and dialogue-focused gameplay reminiscent of the experiences developed by Telltale. According to the description on the Steam page, players will take on the role of "Robert Robertson, also known as Mecha Man, whose mech suit is destroyed in a battle against his enemy, forcing him to work at a superhero dispatch center: not as a hero, but as a dispatcher."

The official synopsis adds that Dispatch is "a workplace comedy about superheroes where decisions matter. Players must manage a dysfunctional team of misfit heroes and decide who to send to emergencies in the city while balancing office politics, personal relationships, and their own path to becoming heroes."

AdHoc was founded in 2019, when former Telltale developers came together to continue the legacy of adventure games from the company, after the developer of The Walking Dead laid off most of its staff in 2018. Telltale, in its restructuring, collaborated with AdHoc on The Wolf Among Us 2, but last year it was announced that a large part of its team had been laid off. Nevertheless, the developer recently clarified that the release of The Wolf Among Us 2 has not been canceled.
