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.

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.

While the main goal is to strategically send the team on epic missions, players must also navigate messy relationships, office politics, and life-or-death decisions.

Blending narrative, strategy, and humor, Dispatch explores what it means to be a hero, whether you're wearing a cape or behind a desk.

We’re coming up on one year of Dispatch, and kicking off the anniversary celebration a little early with something for all our collectors out there. 

Starting today, you can pre-order the physical Dispatch Deluxe Edition, available in a standard case or in a SteelBook worthy of Mecha Man himself. 

Right alongside the silver and steel we’re pressing the original soundtrack to wax: a three-record set featuring new artwork from art director Derek Stratton, available only from Lost In Cult Records.

[THOT SQUAD · Bershy  · Future Islands · BADBADNOTGOOD · Caroline Kingsbury · Big Black Delta · Primer · Lance Cantstopolis · FartBarf · Deep Dream · Ben Khan · gen beamish · And Andrew Arcadi

Collector’s Note

We figure you’d all understand the impulse to encase the game in steel - after all, some things are just better when they’re suited up and well-loved with scuffs, folds, fingerprints, flames, bar fights…you get the idea. 

Come and get your hands dirty, Dispatchers.

All editions arrive Q4 2026.

Key Features:

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

Dispatch is available for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PC (Steam), PS5 and Xbox Series X|S (including supported gaming handhelds).
