AdHoc Studio has officially announced that their highly anticipated superhero narrative game Dispatch will launch on October 22 for PC via Steam and PlayStation 5.

Weekly Episodic Format for Community Engagement

Designed to mimic the structure of a TV series, Dispatch encourages a communal experience as fans discuss and debate the outcomes of each week’s episode. Nick Herman, co-founder of AdHoc Studio and Creative Director on Dispatch, explained:

“We think the release format is an underrated part of the player experience. Episodic is a format that makes the story easy to slip into, easy to keep up with, and easy to share with friends. We want the launch of Dispatch to be ‘appointment gaming’ but with the weekly cadence of a TV show, as opposed to asking people to wait months between each release.”

About Dispatch

Dispatch is a narrative adventure game that follows Robert Robertson, a former superhero turned reluctant manager of a squad of dysfunctional ex-villains. Driven by the desire to exact revenge on his nemesis, Robertson must balance workplace chaos with personal vendettas.

The game features a high-profile voice cast led by Aaron Paul, Jeffrey Wright, and members of Critical Role, part of a new collaboration with AdHoc Studio.

Demo Success and Launch Details

Following a successful demo period during June’s Steam Next Fest, where it became one of the most played demos, Dispatch has amassed over 700,000 wishlists on Steam. The game launches in episodic format beginning October 22 and will be available via Steam (PC) and PlayStation 5.
