AdHoc Studio’s debut title, Dispatch, has surpassed one million copies sold on Steam and PlayStation Store, only ten days after its release. Episodes 5 and 6 are available now, setting the stage for the season finale releasing on November 12th.
The game currently has a 9.3 User Score on Metacritic, 93% positive reviews on Steam from over 19,000 reviews, and a record 4.95 out of 5 review score on PS Store. This places the game among the highest rated titles by player score of 2025.
“It’s always a little strange when the numbers get so big you have to talk about them,” says Michael Choung, Executive Producer and CEO at AdHoc Studio. “A week ago, we were just as thrilled watching Let’s Plays and reaction videos. But milestones like this matter. They mean AdHoc will be able to make more story-driven episodic originals, and we hope it means it’ll be easier for other devs to do the same. Hard to believe we’re only halfway done.”
Created by former writers and directors of Telltale Games, Dispatch is a superhero workplace comedy that puts players in the boots of Robert Robertson, better known as Mecha Man. After his mech-suit was destroyed in a battle, the former superhero is now in charge of a rehabilitation program for ex-supervillains and must manage a dysfunctional team of misfit heroes. Robert’s task is to dispatch this chaotic crew on missions, navigate their quirks, flaws, and personal baggage, all while trying to repair his suit and avenge his nemesis.
Dispatch is available on PC via Steam and on PlayStation 5. Players can purchase the game now, join the official Discord, and follow AdHoc Studio on Bluesky, X, and Instagram for the latest updates.
Ammobox Studios, the independent developer known for its dedication to high-quality, community-driven multiplayer experiences including Eximius: Seize the Frontline, today announced the acquisition of the Depth IP from developer Digital Confectioners.
Originally released in 2014, Depth is an underwater asymmetric multiplayer game that pits divers against deadly sharks in tense, high-stakes combat. Known for its immersive underwater environments and heart-pounding gameplay, Depth built a loyal community of players, with more than 2 million units activated, who have kept the game alive for nearly a decade.
With this acquisition, Ammobox Studios aims to not only preserve Depth’s legacy but also explore new ways to revitalise and expand the franchise for both longtime fans and new players.
“We are beyond excited to acquire the Depth IP and continue development on Depth. We have something exciting brewing behind the scenes,” said Jeremy Choo, CEO of Ammobox Studios. “We’ve admired the creativity that made Depth such a unique experience, and we’re committed to being responsible stewards of the franchise. Our goal is to honour the original while looking toward its next evolution.”
“Depth has been a huge part of our journey for more than a decade, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible community that’s kept these waters alive. Every diver, every shark, every fan who’s played and supported the game you’ve made it something special.
We’re now passing the torch to Ammobox Studios, a team that shares our passion for Depth and its world. They have the energy and focus to take it forward, and we’re confident they’ll treat both the game and its community with the same care and respect that have defined it from day one,” said James Tan, Managing Director of Digital Confectioners.
“Agora is proud to have supported both Ammobox Studios and Digital Confectioners in this transaction. Depth remains one of the most distinctive multiplayer experiences of its kind, and we believe there’s significant untapped potential in the IP. The market for high-quality shark-themed action games is remarkably underrepresented, and Ammobox’s vision positions them well to expand the franchise for a new generation of players,” – Pontus Mähler, Co-founder, Agora Gaming Partners.
The studio is currently evaluating opportunities to enhance Depth’s gameplay experience, update its technology, and engage the community in shaping the future of the franchise. More details will be shared in the coming months.
