Set in modern day Los Angeles, Dispatch puts players in the shoes of Robert Robertson, a former hero known as Mecha Man, whose mech-suit was shattered in a battle with his nemesis.
Now, stuck behind a desk at a superhero dispatch center, Robert’s new mission is to manage a team of unpredictable ex-supervillains, each with their own powers, flaws, and attitude problems. If you can’t wait to jump into the office drama, read on to see the full Dispatch episode release schedule and what to expect.

Dispatch Editions and Pricing
At launch, Dispatch will be available in two editions, giving players the choice between the full experience and an expanded deluxe bundle.
The Standard Edition costs $29.99 and includes access to all eight episodes released over the game’s four-week schedule.
The Deluxe Edition costs $39.99 and comes with exclusive digital bonuses, including a digital artbook that offers a behind-the-scenes look at AdHoc Studio’s creative process and four digital comics that expand the game’s lore and explore side stories from the world of Dispatch.
Players who purchase the standard version can later upgrade to the Deluxe Edition. This way, everyone has the option to enjoy the complete experience without repurchasing the base game.
Dispatch Gameplay Details
Dispatch mixes heartfelt storytelling, sharp humor, and light strategy to deliver a fresh take on the superhero genre. Even though Mecha Man’s days of saving the world are over, he’s still a superhero in a different way. As Robert Robertson, players must assign missions to a roster of unpredictable ex-villains, each with their own powers, flaws, and attitude problems that influence the mission.
Every decision you make in Dispatch shapes how the story unfolds. You’ll need to assign heroes to missions wisely, because the outcome of each mission depends on how well your heroes handle the job and each other.
