It’s been one year since indie game developer AdHoc Studio launched its now-hit episodic narrative superhero adventure game “Dispatch” — and in that time the game has attracted more than 5 million players. Now, the team behind the title (which has doubled in size since last October) has decided to celebrate its digital win in the physical world.

Titled “Dispatch: Night Shift,” the anniversary event is described as “an in-person, live entertainment experience.” Set up by AdHoc as a one-night exclusive show taking place in December in Los Angeles, Night Shift will bring the game’s songs and its original score together on one stage with the score acting as the connection between each set, just as it connects the game.
