Imagine a world where Iron Man was not the wealthy and successful hero we all know him to be. It's a concept that may seem far-fetched, but for fans of Telltale Games, it's a possibility they can explore in the upcoming superhero game, Dispatch. Set to be released in 2025, this game has the potential to be the best adventure game of the year.
But for those who were hoping for an update on the highly anticipated The Wolf Among Us 2 at The Game Awards in 2024, they were left disappointed. Despite the game originally being set to release the previous year, there has been no news or updates from Telltale Games about its progress. The only reassurance fans have received is that the game has not been cancelled, even though Telltale went through a round of layoffs in 2023.
However, for those craving a Telltale-esque experience, there was a glimmer of hope at The Game Awards when a new game called Dispatch was announced. Developed by AdHoc Studio, which was formed by former Telltale employees, this narrative-driven superhero game follows the story of Robert Robertson, a retired superhero known as Mecha Man. After his suit was destroyed, he takes on the role of a dispatcher, deploying other heroes to handle crimes and emergencies. But as he navigates his new job and attempts to rebuild his suit, he must also deal with his past as he rehabilitates a team of former supervillains.
The game's trailer showcases the classic Telltale hallmarks, with the player's choices influencing the direction of the story. But what sets Dispatch apart is the unique gameplay mechanic of dispatching heroes to different situations. And with improved graphics and animation, it's clear that AdHoc Studio is taking the game to the next level.
Despite being their first project, AdHoc Studio has already proven their talent with a star-studded cast, including actors from popular TV shows like Breaking Bad and voice actors with impressive resumes. And for those wondering about the release date, Dispatch is set to launch in 2025 on PC via Steam and possibly on consoles, with a safe bet being PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
But Dispatch isn't the only exciting game announced at The Game Awards in 2024. Stage Fright, a new couch co-op game, and Turok: Origins, a revival of the Dinosaur Hunter series, were also unveiled. And for those looking for a Game of Thrones game, Kingsroad offers a unique open-world experience.
