Dispatch celebrates its first anniversary with commentary and storyboard modes for every single episode, if you've got the deluxe edition anyway
I'm going to park my feelings of unease at the fact that it's somehow already been a year since Dispatch came out, as developer AdHoc Studio have revealed some pretty neat sounding additions to the game to commemorate its first anniversary. Well, if you have the deluxe edition anyway (sorry, regular edition owners). Read more
Dispatch has reached its one-year anniversary, and developer AdHoc Studio has introduced two exciting new modes for the game's deluxe edition. Unfortunately, regular edition owners are out of luck. The two new modes are a cast and crew commentary and a storyboard mode.
The commentary mode offers over 16 hours of audio content across every episode, with two tracks to choose from in the Settings: Cast or Crew. Different options unlock different commentary, so each playthrough can provide new insights. The commentary features voices from the cast, including Aaron Paul, Laura Bailey, and Travis Willingham, as well as the writers, director, and designers behind the game.
Storyboard mode is a unique feature that allows players to experience the game as it was originally designed. Every single episode can be played while viewing the original storyboards and draft renderings, showcasing how the scenes and characters were envisioned before any animation took place. This feature is particularly impressive given the game's emphasis on cutscenes, and it provides an invaluable glimpse into the game's development process – a rare treat for players.
Outside of the anniversary update, Dispatch fans can look forward to a special concert featuring the game's music at Avalon Hollywood in Los Angeles on December 3rd. Tickets are limited, so expect them to sell out quickly. If you're unfamiliar with Dispatch, gaming journalist Edwin offers a complimentary overview: "It's been so long since I played a Telltale-style game that all the Telltale quirks feel novel again.
Timed dialogue choices and action QTEs. X will remember that. Hashtag 4 Clementine." Created by a team co-founded by former Walking Dead and Wolf Among Us developers, Dispatch brings that same charming, movie-night energy to a superhero comedy premise, albeit with a more laidback and banter-driven approach compared to The Boys and Invincible.
