Dispatch, the acclaimed episodic superhero workplace comedy from developer AdHoc Studio, is officially set to launch on both Nintendo Switch and the much-anticipated Switch 2.
According to a new listing on the Australian Nintendo eShop, Dispatch will release on January 29, 2026, bringing its unique blend of sharp humor and engaging narrative to Nintendo's expanding platform lineup. Although AdHoc Studio has not yet issued an official announcement regarding the Nintendo release, the appearance of Dispatch on the eShop strongly indicates its impending arrival.
Nintendo maintains tight controls over eShop listings, making such surprise launches a strong indicator of a legitimate release.
Industry observers suggest the listing was made available ahead of schedule, further fueling anticipation within the gaming community. For Nintendo Switch users, the Dispatch listing reveals consumer-friendly upgrade options.
Players who purchase Dispatch on Nintendo Switch will receive a free upgrade to the Switch 2 version when it becomes available.
Alternatively, gamers can opt to buy the Switch 2 version directly at launch.
For fans seeking additional content, a digital Deluxe Edition will be available for both consoles, featuring an 'Art and Comics Pack.' This supplemental content can also be purchased separately, allowing for flexible upgrade options regardless of edition or platform.
While full details on enhancements for the Switch 2 edition are not yet disclosed, players can expect improvements such as higher resolution visuals and smoother performance, in line with next-generation hardware capabilities. Dispatch originally debuted on PC and PlayStation 5 in October and quickly garnered critical acclaim as well as commercial success.
In its first month post-launch, Dispatch sold over two million units worldwide.
The game boasts a star-studded voice cast, including Aaron Paul, Jeffrey Wright, Laura Bailey, and Matthew Mercer.
AdHoc Studio, composed of Telltale Games alumni, channels its roots by deploying a signature narrative style reminiscent of hits like 'Tales from the Borderlands' and 'The Wolf Among Us.' Set in modern-day Los Angeles, Dispatch centers on Robert Robertson, known as Mecha Man, whose superhero suit is destroyed in battle.
Forced to shift gears, Robert takes a job at a superhero dispatch center as a dispatcher rather than a hero.
Players will oversee a motley crew of ex-supervillains aiming for redemption, manage office relationships, and work towards rebuilding Mecha Man’s suit, balancing leadership responsibilities with classic workplace comedy dynamics. This announcement underscores Nintendo’s commitment to expanding the diversity of story-driven experiences on the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 platforms.
With its celebrated writing, engaging gameplay, and blockbuster voice talent, Dispatch is poised to be a leading release for Nintendo’s ecosystem in 2026.
Fans can look forward to its arrival on both the eShop and Nintendo Direct showcases as the launch date approaches.
