Dispatch is proof that the Telltale Games formula fits the modern communal TV era like a glove.

The superhero choice-driven story by AdHoc Studios, a team formed primarily by ex-Telltale Games devs, has quickly gained notoriety and a large following around its episodic format. Debuting on October 22, AdHoc released two new episodes every Wednesday, with the season culminating on November 12. It went out to sell over 1 million copies in the first 10 days, reawakening a dormant interest in the format.

Studios like Dontnod Entertainment have continued to iterate on episodic releases with the Life is Strange series and this year’s Lost Records: Bloom and Rage. The appeal of Dispatch, however, is in catering directly to the modern TV show daze, and the communal FOMO that leads to people wanting to take part in the conversation of the latest popular release.
