AdHoc Studio’s debut title, Dispatch, is finally here. It’s an episodic, story-rich superhero workplace comedy game where your choices truly matter. Set in modern day Los Angeles, Dispatch puts players in the shoes of Robert Robertson, a former hero known as Mecha Man, whose mech-suit was shattered in a battle with his nemesis.

Now, stuck behind a desk at a superhero dispatch center, Robert’s new mission is to manage a team of unpredictable ex-supervillains, each with their own powers, flaws, and attitude problems. If you can’t wait to jump into the office drama, read on to see the full Dispatch episode release schedule and what to expect.

Dispatch Episode Release Schedule

Dispatch will release its eight episodes over four weeks, with two new chapters dropping each week, starting October 22, 2025. The game will launch on PlayStation 5 and PC, with future platform releases yet to be confirmed.

Here’s the full episode release timeline:

Dispatch Editions and Pricing

At launch, Dispatch will be available in two editions, giving players the choice between the full experience and an expanded deluxe bundle.

The Standard Edition includes access to all eight episodes released over the game’s four-week schedule.

The Deluxe Edition comes with exclusive digital bonuses, including a digital artbook that offers a behind-the-scenes look at AdHoc Studio’s creative process and four digital comics that expand the game’s lore and explore side stories from the world of Dispatch.

Dispatch Gameplay Details

Dispatch mixes heartfelt storytelling, sharp humor, and light strategy to deliver a fresh take on the superhero genre. Even though Mecha Man’s days of saving the world are over, he’s still a superhero in a different way. As Robert Robertson, players must assign missions to a roster of unpredictable ex-villains, each with their own powers, flaws, and attitude problems that influence the mission.

Every decision you make in Dispatch shapes how the story unfolds. You’ll need to assign heroes to missions wisely, because the outcome of each mission depends on how well your heroes handle the job and each other.
