- The panel lineup includes Laura Bailey, Travis Willingham, Jacksepticeye, and others representing the Z-Team.

Xbox Series X|S date confirmed just days after Comic-Con
AdHoc Studio confirmed that Dispatch will be available on Xbox Series X|S on July 29. The announcement comes in the lead-up to the game’s scheduled appearance at San Diego Comic-Con 2026 on July 24, where the project’s cast and key creators are expected to take the stage.
For players who haven’t been able to access the game on Xbox yet, July 29 will be the first opportunity to play it on Microsoft’s current-gen platform. Dispatch has already launched on PlayStation 5 and later made its way to Nintendo Switch after that, with an additional update issued to address “strange” in-game censorship behavior. With the Xbox release now confirmed, the game is set to expand its availability to another major ecosystem.
What to expect from “Off the Clock with the Z-Team”
The Comic-Con panel is titled “Dispatch: Off the Clock with the Z-Team.” It is described as featuring the major figures behind the Z-Team, with Erin Yvette serving as the moderator.
AdHoc has confirmed the following participants for the panel: Laura Bailey (Invisigal), Travis Willingham (Phenomaman), Sean “Jacksepticeye” McLoughlin (Punch Up), Thot Squad (Prism), Yung Gravy (Golem), Alanah Pearce (Malevola), Lance Cantstoplis (Flambae), Joel Haver (Waterboy), Mayanna Berrin (Coupe), and Charles “Moistcr1tikal” White (Sonar, dialing in). Aaron Paul, who voices a Mecha Man role, is specifically noted as absent from the confirmed in-person lineup.
While fans should not expect a flood of new information during the panel, the prospect of the Z-Team coming together again is positioned as a morale boost for the community.
Season 2 hopes remain in focus after late-2025 comments
Beyond the Comic-Con announcement and platform expansion, discussion around Dispatch continuing into a potential Season 2 has been active. In November 2025, co-founder and Chief Creative Officer Pierre Shorette said the team would “have to at least think about” a second season during SkillUp’s “The Friends Per Second” podcast. Later in December 2025, AdHoc indicated it would be deciding what comes next for the studio in the following weeks.
Those earlier remarks suggest the studio has been weighing options, which could include continuing the story with another season. The current timing—Comic-Con activity followed by the Xbox release a few days later—keeps the door open for more updates, especially given that fans continue to want to see Dispatch return.
In a separate moment, Aaron Paul—described here as a co-star—shared hopes for future seasons of the game, reinforcing that the cast is aligned with the idea of continued support.
