Why CRITICAL ROLE’s Video Game DISPATCH Is a Surprising Yet Smart Move for an Expansive Future
It wasn’t unexpected that Critical Role was venturing into a video game project, considering they are known for being voice actors in video games. However, their choice to collaborate with a relatively new studio, AdHoc, took many by surprise. Although AdHoc is founded by industry veterans (including some who previously worked at Telltale Studio), they don’t have a significant history of releases. In fact, Dispatch is their debut video game. The decision to create a narrative choice game was also unexpected, as games like Baldur’s Gate 3 are currently experiencing a resurgence in popularity. Critical Role seems more suited for a deep-rooted RPG game.
