Overview
- Dispatch launched on Switch and Switch 2 on January 28 with visual censorship enforced and the in-game uncensor toggle inaccessible, with some audio also muted.
- AdHoc confirmed it submitted a single globally compliant Switch build to satisfy stricter regional standards, and observers noted the PS5 release in Japan shows similar edits.
- Nintendo reiterated that games must meet ratings and platform guidelines but said it does not modify partner content or dictate specific changes.
- AdHoc apologized for burying the eShop notice about altered content, moved the disclaimer for better visibility in the Americas, and added a pre-purchase warning.
- The studio says it is working with Nintendo on a restoration patch expected to take weeks due to console certification, as players continue to seek refunds and raise transparency concerns.
