AdHoc Says No Uncensored Physical Release of Dispatch on Switch

The studio plans a restoration patch that must clear a weeks-long console certification process.

Overview

  • AdHoc told GoNintendo there is no possibility of a physical Switch or Switch 2 edition without the adjusted content and noted no physical release is currently announced.
  • The Switch versions launched with black boxes over nudity and dampened sexual audio by default, diverging from other platforms where such settings are optional.
  • AdHoc says it is working with Nintendo on a path to restore at least some content via update but made no specific promises due to the submission process.
  • Nintendo stated that all games must meet independent ratings and platform guidelines and said it does not make changes to partner content.
  • The studio said it is legally unable to explain why separate regional SKUs were not used, as players continue to press for transparency and some report securing refunds.
