Dispatch Physical and Vinyl Editions Announced

Developer and publisher AdHoc Studio has officially revealed upcoming physical disc releases and a vinyl soundtrack for its story-driven title Dispatch, with pre-orders opening as the game approaches its one-year milestone.

Collectors can select from two distinct physical packages now available for pre-order at major participating retailers. The base offering is the Deluxe Edition, priced at $49.99, which bundles the full game on disc alongside several tangible collectibles. Included in the package are a double-sided printed poster featuring the character Mecha Man and a 16-page physical booklet titled "SDN’s Guide to Dispatching."

Alongside the physical items, the $49.99 Deluxe Edition provides buyers with a set of digital bonus content. Players receive a redemption code for the full official soundtrack, four digital companion comic books, and a digital "Art of Dispatch" art book showcasing production artwork from the studio.

For those seeking a premium display case, AdHoc Studio is offering the Steelbook Deluxe Edition for $59.99. This package carries over all content and digital downloads from the standard deluxe version but housed in a custom metal case. The exterior features artwork of characters Mecha Man and Shroud depicted on opposite sides of the steelbook.

Beyond the game disc offerings, the studio is partnering with specialized publisher Lost in Cult Records to press the game's musical soundtrack onto vinyl. The vinyl release will be offered in two different aesthetic versions, labeled the Prime Edition and the Astral Edition.

AdHoc Studio aims to ship the physical releases and vinyl albums in the fourth quarter of 2026. The developer cautioned that manufacturing schedules could potentially lead to minor delays specifically for the steelbook variant, though orders remain open across retail channels.

The physical unveil comes ahead of the first anniversary of Dispatch, which originally released digitally on October 22, 2025. The Mature-rated game gained popularity for its ensemble cast, including fan-favorite characters like Waterboy and Malevola. Although community requests for gameplay updates such as an Endless Mode remain unfulfilled for now, these newly announced physical items offer fans a way to collect the title ahead of prospective future updates.
