Adhoc Studio Announces Dispatch Release Date for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2
Adhoc Studio, the acclaimed development team helmed by creative veterans behind hit narrative titles like Tales from the Borderlands and The Wolf Among Us, is preparing to launch its latest project, Dispatch, for the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2.
The superhero workplace comedy game has officially been listed on the Australian Nintendo eShop, with a confirmed release date of January 29, 2026. This notable eShop appearance marks Dispatch’s debut on a Nintendo platform, further expanding Adhoc Studio’s portfolio of narrative-driven experiences.
Players who purchase the Nintendo Switch edition of Dispatch will be eligible for a free upgrade to the Switch 2 version upon its availability.
This highly consumer-friendly approach allows fans who invest early to experience the game’s enhanced features on next-generation hardware at no extra cost.
In addition to the standard and upgraded editions, a Digital Deluxe Edition will also be available, bundling the base game with an exclusive Art and Comics Pack for enthusiasts interested in behind-the-scenes content. Dispatch brings a distinct blend of narrative, strategy, and comedy to Nintendo hardware.
Set in modern-day Los Angeles, the game casts players as Robert Robertson—better known as Mecha Man—whose superhero career is upended after his mech-suit is destroyed.
Forced into a new role, Robertson transitions from hero to dispatcher, overseeing a colorful team of former supervillains as he manages emergencies, office relationships, and the long-term goal of rebuilding his suit for one final act of heroism. One of Dispatch’s key features is its dynamic narrative structure, where player choices—from casual office banter to critical, life-and-death scenarios—shape relationships, alliances, and story outcomes.
Strategic gameplay is woven into the experience, requiring players to deploy heroes to emergencies across Los Angeles, balancing risks and rewards that can have lasting consequences.
Each hero comes with their own quirks and challenges, requiring nuanced management, skill upgrades, and careful roster oversight to ensure effective teamwork and citywide protection. Dispatch’s cast reads like a who’s who of entertainment talent, featuring celebrated actors and personalities such as Aaron Paul, Laura Bailey, Erin Yvette, MoistCr1TiKaL, Jacksepticeye, Travis Willingham, Alanah Pearce, Lance Cantstopolis, Joel Haver, the musical group THOT SQUAD, Matthew Mercer, and Jeffrey Wright.
Their combined performances promise a uniquely engaging and memorable gaming experience on both Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. With its blend of witty storytelling, character-driven strategy, and a star-studded cast, Dispatch stands as one of the most anticipated indie releases slated for Nintendo’s current and next-generation platforms.
Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 players can look forward to diving into the world of superhero dispatch management when the game launches on January 29, 2026, via the Nintendo eShop.
