The Most Popular Choices in Dispatch, and What They Could Mean for Season 2
Major spoilers for all Dispatch episodes ahead.
Few narrative games have sparked as much conversation in 2025 as Dispatch. Part superhero parody, part heartfelt character study, and part chaos management machine, the game struck a chord with players who immediately latched onto the cast. And, most importantly, the choices that shaped their stories. With Season 1 wrapped and fans loudly campaigning for Season 2, one thing has become clear: AdHoc Studio’s debut universe has far too much untapped potential to stop here.
While Dispatch Season 2 remains unconfirmed, the sheer depth of branching paths hints at a continuation already sketched somewhere on a developer’s whiteboard. Season 1’s decisions weren’t just one-off variables—they were structural pivots, shaping relationships, team composition, player identity, and even the morality of certain characters. And if there is a second season, the hardest task ahead is simple: which route becomes canon? Fortunately, the stats give us a potential roadmap. If a continuation follows the dominant trends, Season 2 has a surprisingly clear foundation to build on.

Whoever Left Z-Team Leaves a Continuity Conundrum for Dispatch Season 2
Dispatch’s Episode 3 forces players into one of the game’s first genuinely uncomfortable leadership decisions: choosing whether Coupe or Sonar has to go. It’s a harsh beat, especially for a game that frames the Z-Team as a group of lovable misfits who are finally starting to feel like a unit. But this choice also highlights one of the biggest hurdles a potential Season 2 would face: canonizing a roster.
Since only 36% of players chose to cut Sonar, the majority outcome technically makes Coupe the more likely candidate for the “canon boot,” assuming a follow-up season chooses to acknowledge the outcome at all. And genuinely, there’s a strong chance Season 2 simply sidesteps the question. The game’s finale leaves the Z-Team’s heroes staring down forces, mysteries, and consequences much larger than a mid-season personnel shake-up.
Still, ignoring the choice entirely wouldn’t be ideal. There is so much room for reactive writing, even if the devs keep the roster fixed. A throwaway line about a character rejoining the team, or a joking jab about who tried (and failed) to terrorize Los Angeles would reiterate the thought that choices truly matter. But if Dispatch‘s Season 2 does establish a canonical choice? Players might expect Coupe to be the one who canonically gets cut. The numbers are simply too skewed for any other path to make narrative sense.
Should You Forgive or Forget Coupe/Sonar in Dispatch Episode 8?
Forgiving or forgetting an ex-member is quite an interesting choice in Dispatch. Here’s what players should do for this decision.
Robert’s Mecha Man Reveal Was A Quiet Moment, But Season 2 Could Make It Monumental
The decision to tell the Z-Team the truth—that Robert is secretly Mecha Man—is one of the game’s most defining character moments. It is framed as an act of vulnerability, the point at which Robert stops hiding behind the headset and chooses to trust.
With 82% of players revealing Robert’s identity, this is one of the clearest majority choices in the entire game, and it could carry enormous weight in a second season. Season 1 treats the reveal primarily as a bonding opportunity, a chance for the team to close the emotional distance between “mission control” and “actual friend.” But the choice has longer-term implications the first season never fully explores. Trust is the backbone of the game’s entire narrative structure, and whether the Z-Team truly believes in Robert as both leader and peer in Dispatch‘s Episode 5 can shape everything from team cohesion to how the group handles future threats.
And then there’s Flambae. His beef with Mecha Man is positioned as a recurring thread that isn’t fully resolved in Season 1. A second season presents the perfect opportunity to finally explore that tension.
Shroud’s Ending: The One Choice Season 2 Has to Canonize
Unlike other major branches, Shroud’s fate at the end of Dispatch‘s Episode 8 cannot be hand-waved, softened, or left vague. The confrontation with him is the game’s climax, the moment the writers telegraph all the way back when Chase asks Robert whether he would ever kill Shroud if given the chance.
This is where a Season 2 would need a definitive path. If Shroud survives, he becomes the looming nightmare on the horizon. He could be an incarcerated mastermind potentially pulling strings from a cell, a ticking bomb waiting for the Z-Team to slip up. If he dies, the series pivots toward the power vacuum he leaves behind. Both directions drastically alter the tenor of what Dispatch Season 2 could be.
But then there’s the invisible wildcard: Invisigal. If the canon route involves her killing Shroud, the tonal shift would be enormous. Invisigal, one of the game’s most beloved characters and statistically Dispatch’s most popular romance, becoming the Season 2 antagonist would be explosive. It would create emotional fallout for the entire team, especially for players who pursued a relationship with her. A villain-to-hero-to-villain-again trajectory anchored in guilt, trauma, and neglect would be downright Shakespearean.
And realistically, the Invisigal-kills-Shroud option gives the writers the most dramatic runway. It ties the ending to character stakes, not just plot stakes. And it immediately gives Season 2 an emotional conflict with teeth.
qDispatch’s Season 2 Romances Will Only Get Messier From Here
Dispatch may be a superhero story on the surface, but that’s not the only reason why Dispatch‘s player numbers are skyrocketing. At its heart, it’s a game about relationships. That’s why the romance outcomes matter; not because they drastically shifted Season 1’s plot, but because they shape how players emotionally engage with the cast. Season 1’s numbers alone almost guarantee that Season 2, if it happens, will have to address romantic continuity. The writers don’t have to build extensive branching narratives, but they do need to decide what happens when a player starts a new season.
- Will Dispatch ask players to import their save?
- Will the writers canonize a “default” romance?
- Will relationships simply reset?
And beyond that, Dispatch Season 2 feels tailor-made to expand the romantic roster. Some characters became fan favorites overnight. Others feel like they’re one emotional beat away from being fully romance-ready. And with new villains, allies, or random weirdos inevitably joining the story, romance potential will only multiply. If Season 2 leans into both continuity and expansion, the dating dynamics could get wonderfully messy—the good kind of messy. The kind of messy that keeps fandom fed for months.
