About
A crazy fast local multiplayer brawler, settle your scores against friends and family!
Story
In a world filled with superheroes, Robert Robertson, an ordinary human, pilots a giant robotic suit as Mecha Man, carrying on his father's legacy. When his suit is irreversibly damaged in a battle against his archnemesis and father's killer, Shroud, he's forced into retirement. Soon after, the Superhero Dispatch Network (SDN) makes him an offer: they’ll repair his suit if he agrees to lead and coordinate the Z-Team, a group of former supervillains seeking redemption, as they rush across Los Angeles to save the day. But every mission comes with choices: the kind that define what makes someone a hero, with or without superpowers.

Since launch, Dispatch has expanded its platform presence significantly, arriving on Xbox Series X/S in July with Play Anywhere support. The studio has also rolled out language localization updates across all platforms. Coverage has focused on guiding players through the game's branching choices and achievement hunting, while the game has drawn attention as a potential award contender, with the team behind it recognized for previous narrative-driven projects.
