Dispatch lets the curtain rise
Dispatch, AdHoc Studio’s comedic action superhero game, is getting a free Deluxe Edition Update that invites players to look beyond the finished adventure and into the creative work behind it. The update adds two playable behind-the-scenes modes, offering a fresh way to revisit the game’s world without simply retracing the same story beats. For fans curious about how games take shape, that kind of bonus content can be as compelling as another mission. The announcement arrives amid continued enthusiasm for narrative-driven games, a space often explored by outlets such as IGN and Polygon.
Storyboard Mode turns the process into play
The first addition, Storyboard Mode, puts the visual blueprint of Dispatch in the spotlight. Storyboards are a vital part of shaping scenes, pacing, and action before they reach the screen, and making them playable gives audiences a more hands-on look at that stage of development. Rather than treating the creative process as an afterthought, the mode makes it part of the experience—an appealing fit for a game built around character, comedy, and superhero spectacle. It also speaks to the broader appeal of interactive storytelling, a subject covered across GamesIndustry.biz and Game Developer.

Dispatch brings the cast and crew along
Cast & Crew Commentary Mode offers a different kind of backstage pass, giving players a chance to experience Dispatch alongside commentary from the people who helped make it. The format can add new context to familiar scenes, from performance choices to the decisions involved in bringing a story together. It also creates room for the game’s humor and personality to land in a new way, with the creative team’s perspective becoming part of the revisit. For audiences who enjoy hearing how productions come together, the mode has an obvious kinship with behind-the-scenes features celebrated by IMDb and BAFTA.
A free bonus across the Dispatch lineup
The Deluxe Edition Update is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam, and both modes are free. That broad availability makes the update an easy invitation for existing players to return, while giving newcomers another glimpse of what makes Dispatch stand out: a superhero setting approached with a comedic sensibility and an interest in the craft of storytelling. With its new playable extras, the game turns the space behind the scenes into part of the adventure—a welcome bonus for fans following its journey across PlayStation and Xbox.
