The authors of Dispatch aim to achieve a three-year sales plan within three months
The interactive animated series Dispatch from Telltale veterans is selling much faster than its creators anticipated. Co-founders of AdHoc Studio, Nick Herman and Michael Choung, discussed this in an interview with the portal GamesIndustry.

The developers stated that with the current sales pace, Dispatch could reach the sales target initially expected in three years within just the first three months. When the forecast was made, it was considered optimistic.
However, Herman and Choung didn't reveal any figures: they didn't share either the current sales of the game or the projected ones.
At the beginning of November, AdHoc Studio announced that in the first 10 days since its release on October 22, Dispatch was bought over 1 million times. According to data from analysts at Alinea Analytics, by November 11, the game's distribution reached 1.5 million copies with a revenue of $30 million, but how accurate their estimates are remains unclear.
Additionally, on November 12, the final episodes of Dispatch were released. Thanks to the excitement surrounding them, the game significantly updated its record for peak online players on Steam, now totaling 220,060 people.
Dispatch is available on PC and PlayStation 5.
