Dispatch celebrates its first anniversary with commentary and storyboard modes for every single episode, if you've got the deluxe edition anyway

Dispatch developer AdHoc Studio has released a first-anniversary update adding two new modes to the game, available now. The update includes a cast and crew commentary track with over 16 hours of audio featuring actors and creators such as Aaron Paul and Laura Bailey. Players can toggle between cast or crew commentary in settings, with choices altering the content available during each playthrough. The update is currently accessible only to owners of the deluxe edition of the game.

A second new mode, storyboard mode, allows players to experience every episode using the game’s original storyboards and draft renderings. This mode provides insight into the pre-animation design process, highlighting how scenes and characters were developed before final animation. The feature is tailored to Dispatch’s cutscene-heavy structure and offers a rare behind-the-scenes perspective on game creation. Both modes are included in the anniversary update for deluxe edition owners.

In addition to the in-game update, AdHoc Studio announced a one-night concert featuring Dispatch’s soundtrack at Avalon Hollywood in Los Angeles on December 3rd. Tickets are limited and expected to sell out quickly, with no additional dates announced. The concert marks a separate celebration of the game’s first anniversary outside of the in-game content updates.

The anniversary update follows the game’s release by AdHoc Studio, co-founded by former Telltale developers. Dispatch blends Telltale-style mechanics such as timed dialogue choices and action QTEs with a superhero comedy premise. The game’s tone is described as laidback and banter-driven, distinguishing it from similar titles. Players interested in the new modes must own the deluxe edition to access the anniversary content.
