In one of the most exciting indie game news drops of late 2025, Dispatch, the critically acclaimed superhero workplace comedy from independent developer AdHoc Studio, is officially making its way to Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 in late January 2026. After launching to widespread acclaim on PlayStation 5 and PC in October 2025 and rapidly selling over two million copies, the game’s expansion to Nintendo’s hybrid consoles represents a major milestone for both the title and its community of fans. 

Originally released episodically between October 22 and November 12, 2025, Dispatch quickly carved out a loyal following thanks to its unique blend of narrative-driven adventure, strategic decision-making, and sharp humor. Developed by AdHoc Studio which was founded from game developers that previously worked on narrative staples like Tales from the Borderlands and The Wolf Among Us, the game combines choice-based storytelling with tactical elements that let players manage a team of rehabilitated villains as they tackle crises across modern-day Los Angeles. 

Nintendo Switch owners will finally get to experience this blend of story and strategy when Dispatch launches January 28, 2026, bringing the full game with all eight episodes, to handheld and docked play. Pre-orders are already live on the Nintendo eShop, with a time-limited 10% discount available. 

The decision to bring Dispatch to Nintendo’s platforms underscores the game’s broad appeal. While its narrative and character interactions are front and center, the gameplay’s relatively light demands make it well suited to the Switch’s portable form factor. Dispatch balances dialogue rich storytelling with moments of tactical planning, giving players a compelling reason to revisit its world on the go or from the comfort of the couch. 

Beyond its sales figures and platform rollout, Dispatch has garnered praise for its writing, voice acting, and ability to subvert traditional superhero tropes. Players step into the shoes of Robert Robertson, formerly the superhero Mecha Man, now relegated to a desk job managing a team of quirky, flawed ex-villains seeking redemption. Decisions made throughout the game influence relationships, narrative direction, and how missions unfold. This creates a dynamic experience that rewards multiple play throughs of the game. 

As the Switch release date approaches, anticipation continues to build. Dispatch now has the chance to reach a wider audience but also underscores a growing trend of successful indie titles finding new life on Nintendo platforms, a fitting next chapter for a game that has already captured hearts and acclaim across the gaming world.
