Review Dispatch (PS5) - Interactive Superhero Show Is a Damn Good Time
Cape diem
It only takes playing through one or two episodes of Dispatch to realise that this superhero comedy-drama has bags of potential. But spread between a total of eight instalments, does it stick the landing? The thing about Dispatch is it's not really much of a game in the traditional sense. This is more about watching than interacting, and...

Dispatch – developed by the ex-Telltale alumni at AdHoc Studio – made a late charge for Game of the Year, premiering on 22nd October and not...

Game of the Month Dispatch (November 2025)
As voted by you
November has come and gone, if you can believe it, and we're now hurtling towards the beginning of 2026. It feels as though the last month went by in the blink of an eye... Which is weird from a gaming perspective, because if we're being honest, November was uncharacteristically light. Don't get us wrong, there were plenty of new...

News 'Everyone Told Us Not to Do It': Dispatch Producer Says Episodic Release Was Deemed 'Insane'
Week link
It sounds like Dispatch developer AdHoc Studio knew it was taking a risk by adopting an episodic release schedule — but the decision paid off in the end. The interactive superhero drama dropped its first two episodes — of eight total — on the 22nd October, and then proceeded to launch two new episodes every following week. In years...

A heroic effort?
Now that all of its episodes are out — and we've had time to actually process AdHoc Studio's interactive superhero show — we want to know what you think of Dispatch.

About The Game
Dispatch is a superhero workplace comedy where choices matter. Manage a dysfunctional team of misfit heroes and strategize who to send to emergencies around the city, all while balancing office politics, personal relationships, and your own quest to become a hero.
From the writers & directors of Tales from the Borderlands and The Wolf Among Us, Dispatch is a superhero workplace comedy set in modern day Los Angeles.
You play as Robert Robertson, AKA Mecha Man, whose mech-suit is destroyed in a battle against his nemesis, forcing him to take a job at a superhero dispatch center: not as a hero, but a dispatcher. In charge of rehabilitating a group of ex-supervillains, you must manage your roster while navigating office relationships and rebuilding your suit for a shot at revenge.
Shape Your Story: In Dispatch, every decision you make influences the unfolding narrative. From banter in the breakroom to life-or-death situations in the field, your choices affect your relationships with the heroes, their allegiances, and the path your own story takes.
Deploy Your Heroes: Use the strategy map to review ongoing emergencies and deploy the right (or wrong) heroes to deal with them. Balance the risks and rewards as you make tactical decisions, knowing that each choice can have lasting consequences for your team and the city.
Manage Your Roster: Managing heroes sometimes goes beyond their powers. Each hero comes with quirks, flaws, and baggage you’ll need to navigate to keep the team together. Upgrade their skills and unlock abilities to boost their effectiveness in the field.
