The talent roster includes Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad), Jeffrey Wright (The Batman), Alanah Pearce (Cyberpunk 2077), along with Critical Role veterans Matt Mercer, Laura Bailey, and Travis Willingham.
Their performances help bring to life the game's comedic and dramatic moments. The game's features are carefully designed to appeal to fans of both narrative and strategy games.
Players shape the story through impactful choices, deploy heroes to strategic emergencies, and manage a diverse roster of quirky superheroes with unique personalities, abilities, and interpersonal dynamics. Critical reception has praised Dispatch for its storytelling and voice acting.
Reviewers at Push Square noted the game’s "brilliantly paced, consistently entertaining superhero story that touches on refreshingly adult themes," while remarking on its light gameplay mechanics. Dispatch is set to be a significant addition to the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 libraries, cementing AdHoc Studio’s reputation for innovative storytelling and distinctive game design.
With a January 28, 2026 release date and an enticing pre-order discount, Switch fans and narrative game enthusiasts have a lot to look forward to in the coming year.
