It’s another week and we’ve got ourselves quite an interesting indie to check out with Dispatch. This narrative-driven game comes from many of the people behind Tales from the Borderlands and The Wolf Among Us, and it follows a beaten-down hero working as an operator at a dispatch center for other superheroes.
Dispatch was developed by AdHoc Studio and released on October 22, 2025. It’s available now on PC and PlayStation 5.
About the game
Robert Robertson was once known as the mighty hero Mecha Man—until his mech suit was destroyed in battle. Having bowed out of active hero duty, Robert now works behind the scenes, assigning heroes to crises and managing office drama at the superhero dispatch center.
In Dispatch’s episodic narrative, you’ll help Robert:
• Navigate the politics and personalities of your co-workers
• Field incoming emergency calls and deploy the right heroes
• Uncover secrets about what really happened to Mecha Man
