In moments of need, you respond, setting off a hero on their mission, all the while comfortably seated in the game of strategic adventures titled "Dispatch".
Strap yourself in, pal, 'cause we're diving into the world of superheroes without their armor! If you're Iron Man, it's no big deal – you've got more than a few spare suitsets knockin' around. But if you're Mecha Man aka Robert Robertson, well, your shattered armor means you gotta ditch the crime-fightin' and get a regular ol' job, ain't it?
But what if you could manage a team of ex-supervillains tryin' to be heroes? That's just the kind of gig you'll find in Dispatch, an upcoming strategy adventure from AdHoc Studio. This team behind the games like Tales from the Borderlands and The Wolf Among Us is gonna give you a taste of what it takes to balance those chaotic super-skirmishes with office politics.
The Dispatch trailer at the PC Gaming Show 2025 gives you a sneak peek of what you're up against. It's high time someone thought about a dedicated emergency response number for superheroes, isn't it? I mean, how else are citizens gonna call for help when a supervillain's tryin' to snatch some jewels and the cops can't handle 'em? That's where your superhero-dispatchin' skills come in!
Dispatch isn't just about sendin' the right hero to the right emergency; it's all about strategy: Sneaky, invisible types for delicate missions, while brutes are more suited to smashin' their way through emergencies. It's all about finding the perfect balance in catastrophe management.
Got Telltale vibes? That's no surprise – the devs behind Dispatch are the ones who gave us Tales from the Borderlands and The Wolf Among Us. You'll be tasked with makin' decisions that'll change the course of the story, not just for you as the dispatcher, but for your team of would-be heroes out there, makin' a dent in crime. The game's got top-tier voice talent, too, with Aaron Paul, Jeffrey Wright, and stars from Critical Role hoppin' on board.
