What if Iron Man wasnt rich and out of work? (AdHoc Studio)Fans of Telltale Games should keep an eye out for new superhero game Dispatch, which may end up being the best adventure game of 2025.Anyone hoping for an update from Telltale Games on The Wolf Among Us 2 at The Game Awards 2024 will have come away thoroughly disappointed.The sequel was originally meant to be out last year, but Telltale has since said nothing about its progress. The only thing weve heard is that its not been cancelled, despite Telltale suffering a round of layoffs towards the end of 2023.However, something Telltale-esque did debut during The Game Awards last night: a narrative driven superhero game called Dispatch, thats being worked on by a number of ex-Telltale staff.The game centres on Robert Robertson, who was once an Iron Man-like superhero called Mecha Man. That was until his fancy mech suit was destroyed, leaving him incapable of performing superheroics.Instead, he takes up the role of a dispatcher, meaning that instead of fighting bad guys its his job to deploy the right heroes to handle crimes and emergencies. All the while navigating his new working relationships, rehabilitating a team of former supervillains, and rebuilding his suit.Based on the trailer, Dispatch certainly shares all the Telltale hallmarks, with narrative choices dictating how the story progresses. Dispatching heroes though, looks like a fun gameplay mechanic and the games graphics and animation is considerably better than the Telltale norm.Dispatch is in development at AdHoc Studio, which was formed by former Telltale employees in the wake of the developers closure, but before its surprise comeback. In fact, this appears to be the studios first project, although it is apparently assisting Telltale with its development on The Wolf Among Us 2 as well.More TrendingThe games Steam listing, and the trailer, specifically highlights how Dispatch shares the same writers and directors as the first The Wolf Among Us and the original Tales From The Borderlands.It also boasts a star-studded cast, from TV stars like Breaking Bads Aaron Paul and high-profile voice actors like Laura Bailey to big-name YouTubers like Jacksepticeye and MoistCr1TiKaL.When is Dispatch being released?Dispatch is slated for a 2025 release but theres nothing more specific than that at the moment. Assuming nothing goes wrong, it may well come out before The Wolf Among Us 2.Dispatch is scheduled to launch on PC via Steam as well as consoles. AdHoc Studio hasnt specified precisely which consoles, though PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S releases feel like a safe bet at least. The dispatch mechanic itself should help the game stand out compared to Telltales work (AdHoc Studio)Emailgamecentral@metro.co.uk, leave a comment below,follow us on Twitter, andsign-up to our newsletter.To submit Inbox letters and Readers Features more easily, without the need to send an email, just use ourSubmit Stuff page here.For more stories like this,check our Gaming page.GameCentralExclusive analysis, latest releases, and bonus community content.This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.
