2025 really has been a pretty stellar year for new video game releases, with a ton of studios releasing games that have blown audiences away, outside of the already established mega franchises.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 recently scooped 12 The Game Awards nominations, breaking a ton of records in the process, whilst games like Blue Prince and Slay the Spire 2 drew a ton of praise from their audiences.
Another release is the same ilk as those above is Dispatch, a superhero workplace comedy where your choices affect how the story plays out. As well as scooping a nomination for Best Indie game, it has also recently passed two million players, becoming a bit of a phenomenon out of nowhere.
As such, the developers and publishers will be looking to capitalise on that popularity wherever possible, and a new release is set to do just that, but only if you live in certain parts of the world.

Dispatch Gets a Merch Range, but Only if You’re in the USA
Over on Twitter/X, Dispatch developer AdHoc Studio confirmed that pre-orders for official Dispatch merchandise had now gone live, with one major caveat, saying, "We’re excited to roll out pre-orders for our official line of Dispatch merch!
"Shipping is currently limited to the United States, but we’ll share updates with the community as additional regions become available."

The comments in response were predictably filled with fans from outside the USA, requesting that merch comes to their home region next.
"I would part with many, many Dollarydoos/Dollarbucks for Robert’s SDN Polo Shirt (or Two) to come to Australia. Especially considering I work in corporate as well," one said.
"The moment you start shipping to Europe... I'll empty your stocks," another added.

"Crying in not live in USA, but still with hope for some day get the shipping outside and get some merch," a third shared in hope.
The merchandise drop does include some pretty spectacular items if you're a fan of the game, including a ton of cover art prints featuring the various heroes and villains from the game.
You can also get your hands on the usual range of mugs and tee-shirts, as well as the real highlight in my opinion, a tote bag featuring the spectacularly adorable dog Beef, lying on his back.
If you're in the right place, everything is available to pre-order right now, with a date for dispatch (see what I did there) yet to be confirmed.
