Dispatch, the episodic superhero-comedy from AdHoc Games, has raced past expectations, selling 1 million copies in its first 10 days after Season 1 began in late October. The unexpected early success has the studio rethinking what comes next.
AdHoc co-founder and Dispatch co-director Nick Herman discussed the prospect of more episodes on the Friends Per Second podcast, and said the team is now weighing a follow-up season. “We’re going to have to at least think about season 2 now,” he said, adding that a second season had been uncertain as recently as three weeks prior.
The milestone for Dispatch is notable because the game is both a debut for AdHoc and an episodic experiment, with weekly releases and a tone that leans into superhero comedy rather than blockbuster action. The sales bump has altered the studio’s priorities, making further Dispatch episodes a more realistic possibility.
AdHoc still has other projects in flight, including an unnamed collaboration set in Exandria with Critical Role Productions and work on a continuation of The Wolf Among Us. Dispatch remains self-published by AdHoc, which likely factors into how the team balances resources across those projects.
Speaking on the Friends Per Second podcast, AdHoc co-founder and Dispatch co-director Nick Herman says: “We’re going to have to at least think about season 2 now,“. He also said: “That was a question mark three weeks ago.”
