Episodic Gaming's UNEXPECTED Comeback! Dispatch Hits Milestone - What's Next?!

It's official: episodic gaming is back, baby! And it's all thanks to the runaway success of *Dispatch*, the quirky superhero workplace comedy that's been quietly taking the gaming world by storm. The latest news? AdHoc, the development team behind the brilliance, has announced they've hit a whopping 2 million players. Now, while they technically said "players," *Dispatch* isn't on any subscription service. So, realistically, we're talking about 2 million copies sold. Pretty impressive, right?

Episodic Gaming's UNEXPECTED Comeback! Dispatch Hi...

The studio shared the news on social media, adding a touch of bittersweetness to the celebration. "We're also sad there are no new episodes this week, but thank you to the two million players that have joined us so far," they wrote. It's a clever way of acknowledging the hunger for more content while still appreciating the massive success they've achieved. The post was accompanied by a picture of Beef, Robert's gloriously chonky dog. And honestly, Beef is practically a mascot for this game at this point. I’ve got like, a whole folder of Beef screenshots saved on my PS5.

This milestone comes on the heels of another impressive feat: earlier this year, AdHoc revealed they'd already sold over a million copies within the first 10 days of release. Ten days! That kind of rapid growth speaks volumes about the game's appeal. It's clearly struck a chord with gamers looking for something different, something funny, and something, dare I say, a little bit weird. *Dispatch* is more than just another superhero game; it's a workplace sitcom with superpowers sprinkled in, and that's a winning formula.

But the real question now is: what's next? Well, the good news is that AdHoc is seriously considering a second season. And, if rumors are to be believed, they might be upping the ante in some… interesting ways. Apparently, the response to the first season's romantic undertones was, shall we say, enthusiastic. The team themselves even alluded to the "ravenous" demand for more spice, so maybe we'll see a few more… ahem… *adult* scenes in the future. Whether that happens or not, it's clear that *Dispatch* has carved out a unique niche and has no plans on slowing down. The resurgence of episodic gaming is here, and it's being led by a superhero workplace comedy with a dog named Beef. Who would have thought?
