Dispatch comes to iOS and Android on December 9, first four episodes free

Dispatch, AdHoc Studio’s superhero workplace comedy, is heading to phones. In its one-year anniversary post, the studio set a December 9, 2026 release on iOS and Android, and said the mobile version will also run through Google Play Games on PC.

How the mobile version works

AdHoc says the base game has been rebuilt for touch controls and for playing in vertical orientation. The pricing follows a try-first model: episodes one through four cost nothing, which the studio describes as the whole opening half of the story. Players who want to see how it ends pay $19.99 USD to unlock the full game, and the studio notes that the price will differ by region.

New modes for Deluxe owners today

The anniversary drop also added two behind-the-scenes modes for owners of the Digital Deluxe Edition, at no extra charge, on every platform where that edition is sold. Commentary mode adds more than 16 hours of audio across all episodes, split into a cast track and a crew track that players pick in Settings; which remarks you hear depends on the choices you make. Storyboard mode lets you play the full game as its original storyboard animatics instead of the finished animation. Players without the Deluxe Edition can upgrade for $10.99, which also brings the digital art book and the four digital comics. On Nintendo Switch, a new DLC pack has to be downloaded from the eShop first, AdHoc says, and the commentary audio is in English only, without subtitles.
