Los Angeles, USA — September 17, 2025 — Today AdHoc Studio announced that Dispatch, their highly anticipated superhero workplace comedy, will launch on October 22 for PC and PlayStation 5, kicking off an eight-episode season. Two episodes will be available at launch, with two more arriving every Wednesday until the season is complete. A single purchase gives players the entire season, and new episodes unlock automatically each week as they premiere.
Like a TV series that one can play, Dispatch’s weekly format lets the community discuss and debate choices and outcomes together as each new episode drops.
“We think the release format is an underrated part of the player experience,” said Nick Herman, co-founder of AdHoc Studio and Dispatch Creative Director. “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.”
Dispatch is a narrative adventure that follows the story of Robert Robertson, a former superhero forced to manage a squad of chaotic ex-villains while trying to exact revenge on his nemesis. The characters are brought to life by a stellar cast led by Aaron Paul, Jeffrey Wright, and members of Critical Role as part of a newly announced strategic collaboration with AdHoc Studio.
The Dispatch demo became one of the most played demos during June's Steam Next Fest. The game currently has over 700,000 wishlists on Steam.
Dispatch is launching in an episodic format starting on October 22 on PC via Steam and on PlayStation 5. Players can wishlist the game now, join the official Discord, and follow AdHoc Studio on Bluesky, X, and Instagram for the latest updates.
