Aaron Paul Discusses Season 2 Plans for AdHoc’s Hit Interactive Game ‘Dispatch’
In a conversation with Variety, Aaron Paul, who voices the character Robert Robertson, also known as Mecha Man, hinted at the potential for future content. “Maybe, maybe not. With good storytelling, there’s always room,” he stated. This discussion occurred prior to the launch of the initial episodes on October 22, which received rave reviews.
Overview of ‘Dispatch’
The game consists of eight episodes, featuring a team of misfit heroes navigating emergencies while managing office dynamics and their aspirations for heroism. Robert Robertson, as the dispatch operator, faces challenges of his own after stepping back from his superhero role due to a malfunctioning suit.
Recording Challenges
Paul noted that his involvement in the game represented his first role in video game acting. He described the recording process as complex due to the myriad of storyline options. “The dynamic with a lot of the characters is drastically different depending on gamers’ decisions,” he explained. This complexity contributed to a lengthier recording timeframe.
Endings and Gameplay Dynamics
When asked about his preferred ending for Robert in Episode 8, Paul admitted he liked all the possible outcomes. “They’re all so interesting and it leaves the audience wanting more,” he said. The game’s multiple narrative paths ensure that players experience drastically different endings based on their choices.
Future of ‘Dispatch’
While Paul did not confirm a second season, the door is still open. “The path forward is unpredictable, which is really interesting,” he added. Players can only speculate about their next move in this innovative storytelling experience.
