AdHoc Studio
AdHoc Studio is an independent game developer founded in 2018 by industry veterans from Telltale Games, Ubisoft, and Night School Studio; namely, Telltale alumni Michael Choung, Nick Herman, Dennis Lenart, and Pierre Shorette. The studio's first game, Dispatch, is set to be released in 2025. HistoryAfter their time with Telltale Games, then Ubisoft and Night School Studio, AdHoc Studio was formed in 2018 by Michael Choung, Nick Herman, Dennis Lenart, and Pierre Shorette. Their team has been the creative force behind some of Telltale's most successful games, such as The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us, and Tales from the Borderlands.[1] Their goal is to carry the interactive narrative torch into the future.[2] After the sudden closure of Telltale Games in October 2018, the studio was revived after its assets were purchased by LCG Entertainment in December 2018. Now doing business as Telltale Games, they re-acquired the video game rights to DC Comics properties such as Fables (The Wolf Among Us) and Batman.[3] Since AdHoc was partially founded by Herman, Lenart, and Shorette, the creatives behind the first episode of The Wolf Among Us, the new Telltale Games approached the team to help make a sequel. Following the game's cancellation under the original Telltale, The Wolf Among Us 2 was re-announced at The Game Awards 2019.[4] In March 2023, a re-release of the 2010 indie game Cart Life was listed on Steam, to be published by AdHoc Studio.[5] The game was set to be released in 2023, but in a forum post in 2024, the game's creator announced that the project was cancelled.[6] At The Game Awards 2024, AdHoc announced their first original title, Dispatch. The narrative-focused adventure game follows former superhero Robert Robertson, voiced by Breaking Bad actor Aaron Paul, who has to take a job as a dispatcher for superheroes after his mecha suit was destroyed. The game's voice cast also includes Jeffrey Wright, Laura Bailey, and Matthew Mercer in supporting roles. Dispatch was originally supposed to be a live action project inspired by ESPN's This Is SportsCenter commercials, but it was scrapped early on due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, and later revived as a video game.[7] Dispatch will be self-published by AdHoc and is currently set to release in 2025.[8] In July 2025, Critical Role Productions announced a partnership with AdHoc Studio to make a video game set in Critical Role's world of Exandria, being similar in concept to Dispatch. The partnership also includes Dispatch merchandise, tabletop games, and an animated series.[9] Games developed
