π° What Happened
The game Dispatch is eligible for all major categories at The Game Awards for a second year in a row. Developer AdHoc Studio said host Geoff Keighley confirmed it. All eight episodes of season one came out by November 12, 2025, before the 2025 cutoff of November 21. But judges had not played the whole season when they voted.
π The Backstory
Dispatch is an episodic superhero story game. After the 2025 awards, it did even better at other ceremonies. It earned six nominations, including Game of the Year, at the DICE awards. It also won three BAFTAs. A game getting two years of eligibility is very rare. It is one of the most praised games of recent years.
π― Why It Matters
Awards help players find good games and shape which titles become well known. A second chance lets more voters judge the full story of Dispatch.
