Dispatch Superhero Comedy Game Arrives on Xbox This Month

The highly anticipated superhero workplace comedy game, Dispatch, will finally land on Xbox this month, developer AdHoc Studio has announced. The game will be available on Microsoft’s platform in just two weeks, on Wednesday, July 29. Players can already wishlist it via the Xbox Store.

Dispatch’s launch on Xbox comes about a year after its initial release on PC and PlayStation 5 in October last year. A Switch 2 version of the game was released in January of this year, but its debut was marred by last-minute censorship. A patch was later released to alleviate the issue, and the developer has confirmed that the Xbox version will not suffer a similar fate.

Developed by veterans of The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us studio Telltale Games, Dispatch is a laugh-out-loud superpowered adventure where players send a team of reformed misfits out to save the world, and each other. The game was originally launched episodically, but there’s no word on a staggered release for the Xbox version’s various chapters.

A true spiritual successor to the Telltale Games of the 2010s, Dispatch cleverly toes the line between TV show and video game, delivering on both halves in equal measure. Its cavalcade of multidimensional characters shines thanks to great writing further buffeted by a star-studded cast. An emotional rollercoaster in all the right ways, Dispatch is a decision-packed adventure that hones in on the hero behind the super.

Last month, IGN caught up with the actual Telltale Games to find out why its long-awaited The Wolf Among Us sequel has taken so long, and why it parted ways with AdHoc, which was originally set to help develop it.

IGN’s review of Dispatch returned a 9/10 score, praising the game’s writing, cast, and emotional depth. The review also highlighted the game’s ability to balance the line between TV show and video game, delivering an engaging and immersive experience for players.
