Dispatch has released a brief teaser for Episodes 5 and 6, both of which will release on Wednesday, November 5, at 9am PST/12pm ET. It sets up a few of the plot points each episode will explore, while also teasing some of the romantic fallout coming from choices made in Dispatch Episode 4.
Dispatch developer AdHoc Studio, comprised of former Telltale devs, has a release cadence similar to older Telltale titles—if to a degree faster than some of the titles. The last episodes, Episodes 7 and 8, will follow on November 12, meaning fans are slowly developing this story. Please note that the following teaser information could be considered a SPOILER if players have not kept up with the episodic releases so far.

In the teaser, one of the more predominantly shown plot points includes the Z Team trying to investigate the true hero identity of protagonist Robert Robertson (played by Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul). Players know he is Mecha Man and that SDN is helping repair his suit, which will no doubt play a major role in his future at SDN once it is repaired. Most of the Z Team does not, however, but perhaps they will soon, if this teaser is any indication.
Dispatch Episode 5 and 6 Teaser
- Dispatch Eps. 5, 6 release date: November 5
- Dispatch Eps. 7, 8 release date: November 12
Furthermore, there are a few brief interactions between Robert and Invisigal, as well as Robert and Blonde Blazer. Dispatch Episode 4 ended with a big romantic choice between the two, and players will likely see the immediate consequences of that. How that manifests exactly remains to be seen, but overall, the teaser for episodes 5 and 6 feels like there is a continued build toward some ending. That likely involves Mecha Man's identity, Shroud, and the Astral Pulse, all wrapped up the game's workplace comedy shtick, but it's unclear how that will shake out.
Ultimately, it'll be interesting to see how this shakes out for Dispatch. Telltale games have always had their fans, and many of them knew/understood there was an episodic release cadence. That is far less common today, but if players stick with Dispatch, it could be something that makes a comeback. After all, Dispatch is not the only choice-based episodic game in the world. AdHoc Studio also did some of the writing and cinematic work on Telltale's The Wolf Among Us 2, for example, although any news on its release remains scarce.
