Dispatch, the superhero workplace comedy from former Telltale devs, has topped two million players.

Hailing from AdHoc Studio, which was founded by several former Telltale Games devs, Dispatch sees you manage a dysfunctional team of misfit heroes and strategize who you send to emergencies around the city, all while balancing office politics, personal relationships, and your own quest to become a hero.

It stars a solid mix of traditional Hollywood actors and video game- and streaming-adjacent talent including Aaron Paul, Laura Bailey, Jeffrey Wright, Erin Yvette, Jacksepticeye, Moistcr1tikal, Alanah Pearce, Travis Willingham, Joel Haver, Lance Cantstopolis, Matthew Mercer, and Thot Squad, and has made quite a splash, having been nominated for Best Debut Indie Game at next month's The Game Awards.

And now, in a tweet, AdJoc has revealed that while there's no new episodes this week, the team wanted to thank "the two million players that have joined us so far."

"Wouldn't be here without you," the tweet added, appending an image designed by art director Derek Stratton.

IGN's Dispatch review returned a 9/10. We said: "Dispatch is a sharp-witted workplace comedy that charms with its smart dialogue choices, great writing, and lovably aggravating cast."

If you've been spending time with Dispatch and feeling that Malevola's practically humming with early 1990s supermodel energy, it turns out you're absolutely right. Talking to IGN, Adhoc art director Derek Stratton explained how a '90s Pepsi advert starring supermodel Cindy Crawford was the inspiration for the "sexy demon lady."
