Imagine the high-stakes drama of The Invincibles colliding with the everyday absurdity of The Office—that’s “Dispatch,” a workplace superhero comedy that just premiered a fresh trailer at Fanfest. The game launches soon on PC and PS5, developed by veterans from Telltale’s Tales from the Borderlands and The Wolf Among Us. In it, you take on the role of a desk-bound manager overseeing former supervillains turned heroes. Your job? Handle workplace dynamics, interpersonal tensions, and simmering revenge plots from behind a screen.
Launching on October 22, the anarchic adventure kicks off with its first two episodes, followed by two new installments weekly, building up to the finale on November 12. Today’s trailer offers a thrilling sneak peek of what's in store just one week from release. You’ll assign heroes to emergencies based on their specialized abilities and personality quirks, all while navigating office politics and making pivotal conversational choices. A sharp undercurrent of dark humor runs through the experience—especially relatable for anyone who’s endured corporate life and challenging coworkers. Even if none of them happened to be a giant bat.
Yes, that’s Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul voicing protagonist Robert Robertson, sidelined as a dispatcher while his Mecha Man super-suit undergoes repairs. He’s joined by an all-star voice cast including Jeffrey Wright (Westworld, The Last of Us), Laura Bailey (Uncharted, The Last of Us Part II), and Seán McLoughlin (jacksepticeye). Wishlist “Dispatch” now on Steam for PC.
