Dispatch – the superhero workplace comedy from the Tales from the Borderlands writers – launches on Xbox today

AdHoc Studio's Dispatch hits Xbox today, July 29, 2026. Built by the writers and directors behind Tales from the Borderlands and The Wolf Among Us, it's a superhero workplace comedy set in modern-day Los Angeles with a cast that stretches from Aaron Paul and Jeffrey Wright to MoistCr1TiKaL and Jacksepticeye.

You play as Robert Robertson – Mecha Man – whose mech-suit gets wrecked in a fight with his nemesis, forcing him into a desk job at a superhero dispatch center. From there you manage a roster of ex-supervillains-turned-heroes, deploy them to emergencies on a strategy map, handle their personal baggage, upgrade their skills, and slowly rebuild your suit for a shot at revenge. Every choice shapes relationships and allegiances, and the game blends narrative decision-making with light tactical management and comedy. The full voice cast includes Laura Bailey, Travis Willingham, Matthew Mercer, Erin Yvette, Alanah Pearce, and Yung Gravy, among others.

AdHoc Studio is the team that spun out of Telltale Games after its 2018 collapse, carrying the creative DNA of its story-driven adventure roots into new projects. Dispatch looks like their most ambitious swing yet – mixing the choice-heavy narrative style of their earlier work with a strategy layer and a workplace comedy tone that's closer to a superhero sitcom than a traditional action game.

With a stacked cast and a concept that leans hard into the absurdity of superhero bureaucracy, Dispatch is one of the more distinctive releases of the summer. Xbox players can jump in today.
