After crossing one million players in its first ten days and two million within the first month, AdHoc Studio’s Dispatch closed out 2025 with more than three million players. Considering Episodes 1 and 2 debuted about ten weeks ago, that’s a pretty impressive milestone for a new Telltale-style narrative IP.
Even more impressive are what players have achieved, with 52.5 million completed shifts, 727 million answered calls, and more than one billion heroes dispatched. It even proved extremely popular on YouTube and Twitch, amassing over 23 million hours watched.
Divided into eight Episodes, Dispatch focuses on Robert Robertson, the new Mecha Man (voiced by Aaron Paul). Or at least he was, until the supervillain Shroud and his cronies laid waste to the suit. To pay for the repairs and get by on his own, Robert becomes a dispatcher for the Superhero Dispatch Network, sending teams of heroes to intercept various crimes.
The twist is that he’s in charge of a group of reformed supervillains, and they’re not always keen on following orders. By allocating different characters based on their skills, players can resolve incidents, though various other conflicts may arise in the process. Check out our review for more details.
Dispatch is available for PS5 and PC. It’s also out on January 28th, 2026, for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
