Dispatch Season 2 will have an impossible choice to make

The rise in popularity of Dispatch reflects the golden age of Telltale Games, with developer AdHoc creating one of the best choice-based narrative games in recent years. With Dispatch after finishing its 8-episode run, many fans are turning their attention to a second season. But the effects of the player's choice on Dispatchs story creates a scenario where multiple endings can occur, setting up a second season to determine which of the game's drastically different endings is the canonical one.

Even if Dispatch Season 2 has not been officially confirmed, AdHoc Studio has noted that it is a possibility, and Breaking BadAaron Paul, voice of Robert Robertson, has said he hopes to do more with the character. Signs are positive for another season of Dispatchespecially after the game far exceeded sales expectations. It's not exactly clear where this second season might take the story, but regardless of that direction, it will have to decide which of the first season's many endings it will build on.

Send Season 2 must decide on a Canon ending

Throughout the game, Dispatch will ask players to make crucial decisions that will dictate which goal they achieve. In some cases, even a seemingly minor dialogue choice can have unexpected consequences and can completely change the outcome of Dispatchs story. For example, players intent on leading Invisigal to a heroic end can fail by only mistrusting her once, making it important to consider every choice the game presents.

All possible delivery ends

• Mentor's end

  • Sorry, Kid — Invisigal becomes a hero, Shroud is spared, Z-Team is united

  • Didn't See that Coming — Invisigal kills Shroud, becomes a villain

• Romantic endings

  • Blonde blazer

  • Invisigal (requires Sorry, Kid ending)

  • It's Complicated (Romance Both)

  • No romance

• Casing end

  • Robert kills the Shroud

  • Robert spares Shroud, sends him to prison

There are three main aspects Dispatchs ending that comes together in Episode 8: whether Invisigal becomes a hero or villain, who Robert romances, and whether Robert kills or spares the Shroud. While some of these components can be mixed and matched to a degree, others are mutually exclusive (like Invisigal's romance ending that requires her to become a hero). With all of these factors to consider, narrowing down the game's potential endings to be canonized into a second season feels almost like an impossible task.

The perfect Canon mailing may not be the most popular

Although it may not sit well with some Dispatch players, especially those who romanced Invisigal, the best ending for a second season is the “Didn't See that Coming” ending, where Visi embraces her villainous side. With the Shroud effectively neutralized on both ends, there must be a new villain to threaten the Z-Team for Dispatch Season 2. With Invisigal toeing the antagonist line and taking over leadership of the Red Ring after killing the Shroud, it's easy to see how a second season could follow an Invisigal birth arc.

Even if Dispatch Season 2 follows the best ending, where Visi remains a hero and the Shroud is spared, there is room for a new conflict to emerge for the Z-Team. Perhaps Shroud escapes from prison, or Robert's relationship with both Blonde Blazer and Invisigal becomes strained, leading players down a new character arc for Mecha Man. There is no perfect option for a cannon ending Dispatch due to the necessity of the game's branching choices to get a cohesive result. As a result, a future season of Dispatch will have to do the seemingly impossible and establish the “correct” ending for the first season.
