🦸♂️ "Even heroes need someone to pick up the phone."
Dispatch, a witty and refreshingly original superhero narrative-driven adventure game from AdHoc Studio, is finally here — and it’s unlike anything you’ve played before. The first two episodes are now available on PlayStation 5 and PC (Steam), with new episodes dropping weekly through November 12, 2025.
Blending humor, heart, and heroism, Dispatch doesn’t just ask you to save the world — it asks you to manage it.
🎮 A Superhero Game with a Twist
What if being a hero wasn’t about wearing a cape, but about making the calls behind the scenes?
In Dispatch, players step into the shoes of Robert Robertson (voiced by Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul), a former superhero known as Mecha Man whose glory days are behind him. After losing his iconic mecha suit, Robert takes a job as a dispatcher, coordinating a team of unpredictable superheroes across the city through the Superhero Dispatch Network (SDN).
From resolving citywide emergencies to managing your heroes’ egos, every choice you make shapes the story — and the fate of your team.
🗺️ Gameplay: Hero Management Meets Chaos Control
If The Office met The Avengers, you’d get Dispatch.
Gameplay revolves around:
Dialogue Trees: Craft your story through conversations where your words can inspire loyalty… or chaos.
Crisis Management: Send the right heroes to handle crimes, disasters, or PR nightmares based on their stats, skills, and personalities.
Hacking Mini-Games: Keep things interesting with fast-paced quick-time events as you tap into the digital network to
prevent catastrophe.
Each mission challenges your judgment, your humor, and sometimes, your patience. Because when your team of heroes includes a mind reader who won’t stop gossiping and a teleporter who’s always late — things are bound to go sideways.
🧠 A Story of Redemption and Responsibility
Beyond the comedy, Dispatch explores deeper questions:What does it mean to lead when you can’t be on the front lines anymore?Can a fallen hero find purpose in helping others shine?
Robert’s journey is as much about rediscovery as it is about managing mayhem. His relationships with the team — misfits trying to prove themselves — drive the heart of the story, reminding players that sometimes the bravest thing a hero can do is trust others.
🎬 Creative Powerhouse Behind the Game
Developed and published by AdHoc Studio, the game is helmed by Nick Herman, Dennis Lenart, and Chris Rebbert, with writing by Pierre Shorette and Mayanna Berrin. Featuring art direction by Derek Stratton and music by Andrew Arcadi, Dispatch uses Unreal Engine 4 to create a vibrant world where comedy and chaos collide.
