AdHoc Studio, a team including former Telltale Games writers and directors, has just announced Dispatch — a comedy narrative adventure about working the desk behind a team of superheroes.

Citing previous work on beloved games like The Wolf Among Us and Tales from the Borderlands, this new game is looking great in its debut trailer.

You play as Robert Robertson, a man who used to don a bulky suit as Mecha Man, but the outfit was destroyed, effectively ending his superhero career. He gets a job working in the office that dispatches a team of other superhumans.

Gameplay looks like a combination of the branching conversation choices you know from Telltale-style adventures and more involved sequences in which you aim to send out the best hero for threats that pop up around the city.

It sounds as though you'll also need to upgrade superheroes in your team as the story goes on so they're more effective in the field.

The blend of gameplay here sounds really interesting, as does the cast list. It includes the likes of Aaron Paul, Jeffrey Wright, and Laura Bailey alongside YouTubers such as MoistCr1TiKaL and Jacksepticeye.

The game is targeting "PC and console", so PS5 is unspecified as of right now, but hopefully we'll get confirmation soon.
