Ad Hoc Studio Marks Dispatch’s One-Year Milestone with Mobile Launch, Concert, and Behind-the-Scenes Modes
Ad Hoc Studio is celebrating the one-year anniversary of its hit narrative game Dispatch with a mobile release, a live concert in Los Angeles, and new behind-the-scenes game modes. The game has attracted over 5 million players since its October 2025 launch. The anniversary package includes a free update for Deluxe Edition owners adding commentary and storyboard modes, a mobile port for iOS and Android on December 9, and a live event titled 'Dispatch: Night Shift' on December 3. The studio also announced new merchandise and a hardcover art book. While the game was a massive commercial success, the development process was described as chaotic and financially precarious, with the studio nearly losing its initial publisher. The success is attributed to strong character writing and a favorable reception on Steam, which kept the game prominent throughout its episodic release.
