Dispatch is an episodic, narrative-driven superhero workplace comedy developed and published by AdHoc Studio. The studio is made up of former Telltale Games developers, including team members who previously worked on The Wolf Among Us. The game places players in the role of Robert Robertson III, a former superhero known as Mecha Man, whose career is derailed after his powered suit is destroyed. Forced into an office role, he becomes a dispatcher for the Superhero Dispatch Network, coordinating responses to emergencies rather than handling them personally.
Gameplay focuses on cinematic dialogue choices combined with a management layer. Players are tasked with deploying a group of reformed villains, each with their own flaws and abilities, to resolve crises across Los Angeles. The game balances narrative decision-making with strategic planning, shaping outcomes through both story choices and team management.
Dispatch originally launched as an episodic series on PC and PlayStation 5, with the first episode releasing on October 22, 2025, and the full eight-episode season concluding on November 12, 2025. The complete season is now available on those platforms and features a cast that includes Aaron Paul and Jeffrey Wright.
