Dispatch, a superhero workplace comedy game by AdHoc Studio, is confirmed to release on Switch and Switch 2 on January 28, 2026, with a discounted price of $26.99 until launch. The game features decision-driven storytelling, hero deployment, and roster management, and has received positive reviews on Steam.
Dispatch's popularity suggests a likely Season 2, but AdHoc Studio has only just begun considering it, as they are currently working on a new project with Critical Role. The first season ends soon, and while a second season isn't confirmed, the show's success might influence future plans.
Dispatch, a superhero comedy game from former Telltale devs at AdHoc Studio, is set for an episodic release starting October 22nd, with two episodes launching weekly. The game features a notable voice cast including Laura Bailey, Matthew Mercer, Aaron Paul, and Jeffrey Wright, aiming to emulate the TV show release format.
Critical Role is developing its first original video game set in the universe of Exandria, in collaboration with AdHoc Studio, following their successful interactive storytelling game DISPATCH, which features Critical Role voice talent and is set to release in 2025. The new game aims to expand the franchise into interactive media, though specific details and release dates are not yet available.
Critical Role is partnering with AdHoc Studio to develop its first video game set in the Exandria universe, with a focus on narrative-driven gameplay, and is also collaborating on the upcoming game 'Dispatch,' expected in 2025, which features a superhero workplace comedy theme and includes notable voice talent. The project aims for a scale that balances quality and development time, with a potential storyline set between major campaigns.
Indie game Cart Life, which won the Seumas McNally Grand Prize at the Game Developer Conference’s annual Independent Games Festival in 2013, disappeared from Steam in 2014. Creator Richard Hofmeier pulled the game due to unresolved problems and bugs. Now, Hofmeier and AdHoc Studio plan to revive the game, not as a nostalgic cash grab, but as an earnest attempt to preserve it. The game, which focuses on three street vendors struggling to make ends meet, is hard because life is hard. It's a unique experience that allows players to be messy and constantly subverts their expectations. The game is set to be released later this year.
