Indie hit Dispatch confirmed for Switch thanks to Nintendo eShop leak

One of 2025’s biggest indie hits was Dispatch – an episodic superhero adventure title from developers who previously worked at Telltale Games and Night School Studio. Released in chunks, the game saw its final episode arrive just last month, amassing overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam and selling more than 2 million copies. Currently available only on PS5 and PC, a Nintendo Switch version has now been discovered; arriving early next year.

As discovered by ResetEra user –R, the highly-praised episodic superhero adventure game from AdHoc Studio ‘Dispatch’ appears set to land on Nintendo’s platform in a little over a month’s time.

Thanks to an early publishing on the Australian eShop, Dispatch has now been confirmed to be coming to the Switch and Switch 2 on the 29th of January 2026.

Given the fact that the game is formatted somewhat like a visual novel, Dispatch on the OG Switch should be relatively comparable to all other versions. Still, for those with a Switch 2 the game offers a free upgrade pack which “includes enhanced resolution and improved frame rates.”

As mentioned, Dispatch is one of 2025's biggest indie hits, selling millions of copies, amassing a ton of online discourse and receiving multiple nominations from both The Game Awards and the BAFTAs. With the game ‘superhero-landing’ onto the Switch platform next month, it likely won’t be long before it passes another major milestone.
