Dispatch Marks One-Year With Behind‑the‑Scenes Update and Platform Push

The update gives players direct access to the game’s production and supports wider distribution through a rebuilt mobile release and physical merch that drive new revenue for AdHoc Studio.

Overview

  • AdHoc released its anniversary update on Oct. 22, 2026 that adds two playable behind‑the‑scenes modes—Commentary and Storyboard—free for Deluxe Edition owners or available as a $10.99 upgrade for standard owners.
  • Commentary Mode contains more than 16 hours of cast and crew tracks that adapt to player choices and separate cast and crew audio, and Storyboard Mode lets players play the full game using its original storyboard animatics.
  • AdHoc announced that Dispatch has surpassed five million players since launch, a milestone the studio credits with fueling headcount growth and enabling new projects.
  • A mobile port rebuilt for vertical touch play will arrive Dec. 9, 2026 with the first four episodes free and a $19.99 one‑time unlock for the rest, plus Google Play Games support for PC.
  • AdHoc is staging a one‑night soundtrack concert at Avalon Hollywood on Dec. 3 with extremely limited tickets and presale access for email subscribers while rolling out physical items including vinyl, signed posters, and a Dispatch: Design Works hardcover with Lost in Cult.
