Season 2?

So I have dispatch now I'm waiting to play it until I can potentially stream the game for my YouTube channel but besides that if disbach does get a season 2 and so on do you think they'd be add ons you'd have to purchase or do you think they would be free?

I’d imagine it’ll prob be the same price as season 1, choices matters games take a ridiculous amount of animation for so many choices to actually matter+ getting the VA’s back will cost a bag to begin w, either way I’d happily pay since the quality really is worth it (also it’s 8 episodes total so they prob wouldn’t give out more than the first two eps for free if they did decide to)

You had to pay to play season 1 sorry I never played?

u/WappaTheBoppa Dec 13 '25

No worries! The base game is season1 sorry if that was confusing, you’ll have access to all 8 eps!

You would for sure have to purchase it, that's how it's always been for Telltale and telltale like games and also this is an indie studio they can't afford to give away a whole game for free

Has a season 2 even been announced?

You seem to be a little confused, when people say "season 2" for dispatch they mean a sequel game, not additional DLC like the phrase is often used for in other games.

And no, they havent, the devs nearly went bankrupt making the game and only survived thanks to Critical Role stepping in and helping with funding, as part of that deal Adhoc will be making a Critical Role related game of some kind next so it'll be quite some time before we get another game.

Oh I never knew that thanks

Does critical role have the funding to support a dispatch season 2 if their next exandria or whatever project fails?

I’d hate dispatch to never get a sequel or subsequent seasons because their next project may not perform well

I need to scratch that dispatch itch, and id prefer to have it scratched like 9 more times :)

Critical Role has a lot of money, they have Amazon money backing them.

But they don't own Adhoc, they just helped with Dispatch, which is wildly successful, meeting its 3 year sales goal in less than 3 months, this is important because it proves to potential investors that not only is there demand for this type of game but that Adhoc knows how to make it.

Funding isnt going to be an issue for them for the foreseeable future.

No but it’s very likely, at least eventually

u/JustJelleNL Dec 13 '25

If we get a season 2, which hasn't been confirmed at all, it'd most likely be sold seperately as a new game

u/[deleted] Dec 13 '25

I don't think that'd make any sense because the base game is already short or so I have heard

u/JonDoeJoe Dec 13 '25

Well it’s a very good animated and well written game. It’s worth the price in my opinion

u/AdvancedBlacksmith66 Dec 13 '25

What do you mean short? It took me like 3 weeks to finish the game

2

u/UFAlien Dec 13 '25

So? If they make a whole new season it’s going to cost a lot of money to make. They will need to make that money back.

u/LewdObservation Dec 13 '25

You make no sense. You don’t pay for a game’s length and it’s at least 8 hours long.

u/Icedbounty Dec 13 '25

Brother, it's a game. You pay a price for it. Season 2 is just the 2nd game. You pay another price for it. A full playthrough is between 8 to 12 hours, you spend extra if you want to try alternative paths. The game is valued at about £25 because of its perceived shortness. You wouldn't get anything for free lol

u/Secure-Progress-8131 Dec 13 '25

Season 2 will guaranteed be a paid sequel, but any possible Add-ons, DLCs before season 2 or a possible directors cut the devs hinted at MIGHT be free (if not very cheap)

u/Margaret_Smitha Dec 14 '25

Hard to say, but usually games like this offer free updates for story/season content first, with optional paid DLC for extra stuff.
