Dispatch Season 2: Is It Happening? The Latest Update Is In
Dispatch could be back on the line. On the Friends Per Second podcast, AdHoc Studio co-founders Nick Herman and Pierre Shorette said a second season is now on the table.
Dispatch might not be done after all. AdHoc Studio just hinted that a Season 2 is on the table, and yeah, the sudden success of the game is absolutely the reason why.
Season 2? The devs are now seriously thinking about it
On the Friends Per Second podcast, AdHoc co-founders Nick Herman and Pierre Shorette said the quiet part out loud: the demand changed their minds. They were chatting with the hosts (yep, the crew that includes Jake Baldino and Skill Up) and dropped this little nugget:
"We are going to have to at least think about Season 2 now. That was a question mark three weeks ago, you know. So, it is a very cool problem to have."
Translation: success talks. Loudly.
Why the sudden shift? Because the game blew up
Dispatch is an episodic adventure from ex-Telltale folks, and it launched October 22, 2025. The hook is simple and great: Breaking Bad alum Aaron Paul plays Robert Robertson III, a washed-up superhero who gets stuck managing a crew of reformed villains. Imagine The Office colliding with The Boys, and you are in the ballpark. The audience clearly got it.
- Over 1 million copies sold in 10 days
- Peak 130,000 concurrent players on Steam
- PSN user rating: 4.95, which GamesRadar notes puts it among 2025's highest-rated games, ahead of titles like Death Stranding 2 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
- Season 1 finale: episodes 7 and 8 landed November 12, 2025, so all eight episodes are now up on PS5 and Steam
So, is Season 2 actually happening?
Not officially. AdHoc is currently busy building a Critical Role game set in the Exandria universe, which is a whole thing on its own. That does not mean Dispatch is done; it just means nothing is greenlit yet.
The appetite is clearly there, though. Aaron Paul told MoistCr1TiKaL (who voices Sonar in the game) that he hopes they get to do multiple seasons. Fans would probably agree.
Temper your expectations on timing
Even if Season 2 gets the nod tomorrow, modern game development is slow by design. If Robert Robertson returns, it is likely a years-not-months situation. Frustrating, sure, but also the only way this kind of branching, performance-driven series keeps its quality.
Where things stand right now
Dispatch nailed the landing in Season 1 and earned the kind of numbers that force a studio to rethink the roadmap. AdHoc is not committing yet, but the door is open wider than it was a few weeks ago. For now, you can binge the whole first season on PlayStation 5 and Steam, and start speculating about what a second season of superhero office politics might look like.
