Dispatch

Dispatch is a narrative superhero adventure with strategic mission planning. Robert Robertson, formerly known as Mecha Man, loses his battle suit and takes over as shift supervisor of a superhero control center in Los Angeles. Instead of flying through the city himself, he sends a team of former supervillains to emergencies.

Between missions, a branching story unfolds about loyalty, relationships and the question of who deserves a second chance. Dialogue choices and mission assignments affect each other.

Dispatch released on Oct 22, 2025 for PC and PlayStation 5. Versions for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 followed in January 2026, and the Xbox Series version in July 2026. The eight episodes of the first season are fully playable.

The versions tailored for smartphones release on Dec 9, 2026 for iOS and Android. The first four episodes form the free starter content there.

Dispatch is available for PC, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X|S. The two Nintendo versions are separate products. On PC, the Windows version is available via Steam.

On Dec 9, 2026, standalone editions for iPhone, iPad and Android devices are added. AdHoc Studio also supports Google Play Games on PC for the mobile version. The smartphone controls are designed for touch input and portrait mode.

You decide which heroes respond to which emergency. A strategic overview shows missions with different requirements. Team members have their own abilities and weaknesses that must be considered when putting a team together.

Between chapters, the story follows Robert's decisions. Conversations can change trust, trigger conflicts and influence how things unfold. Progress can also be invested in the team's abilities.

On PC, Dispatch requires Windows 10 64-bit or newer and 15 GB of free storage space. Steam lists an Intel Core i5-6402p or AMD Ryzen 5 1600, 2 GB RAM and a GeForce GTX 960 or Radeon RX 560 as minimum hardware. DirectX 11 is supported.

A Core i5-7400 or Ryzen 5 2600, 16 GB RAM and a GeForce GTX 1050 or Radeon RX 580 are recommended.

Robert Robertson swaps his damaged Mecha Man suit for a job behind the scenes. The Superhero Dispatch Network gives him the task of holding together an unruly team of former villains.

The focus is on the tensions between Robert's own wish for a comeback and his responsibility for the group. Character relationships and the consequences of difficult missions shape the eight-part story.

The story consists of eight episodes. Dialogue and mission decisions affect relationships and individual events. The tactical sections are part of Robert's work routine and the story told.

All episodes are now released. You can play the full story without further weekly unlocks.

The Digital Deluxe Edition adds accompanying material and two additional display modes to Dispatch. A digital artbook and four comics are part of the package. For the PC version, a separately available upgrade from the standard version exists.

Since Oct 22, 2026, owners of the Deluxe content have received the commentary and storyboard modes as an update. The core story and its eight episodes remain included in the standard version.

Dispatch is a single-player adventure. You assign tasks to several characters, but you do not control them together with other players in a co-op mode. The story, conversations and tactical decisions are shaped from Robert's perspective.

Dispatch launches on Dec 9, 2026 for iOS and Android. The new version supports touchscreen controls and a vertical screen format. The first four episodes can be played for free. Further episodes can be unlocked within the app.

AdHoc Studio announces the mobile version for previous sales regions outside China and Japan, as well as for Google Play Games on PC.

The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition offers higher resolution and better frame rates than the Switch version. Both versions support one person per console. Nintendo also offers a separate upgrade pack for Switch 2.

The commentary mode adds more than 16 hours of statements from the cast and development team to the eight episodes. Two separate audio tracks are available. Different decisions can unlock further comments.

Storyboard mode shows the story through its animated concept sketches. Both modes can be used together. The commentary tracks are available in English and have no subtitles of their own.

On PC, Dispatch offers German on-screen text and subtitles with English voice acting. Control options include adjustable text sizes, subtitles and a setting that lets you skip quick-time sequences.

The additional commentary tracks in the Digital Deluxe Edition are available in English only. The story subtitles remain visible in the selected language.
