'Parcel Corps' Needs More Polishing, Delayed Until Later This Year - Trailer

by Rainier on Aug. 30, 2024 @ 11:24 a.m. PDT

Parcel Corps is an extreme sports delivery-'em-up where players embrace the life of a freelance bicycle messenger and ... save the world.

Grab a helmet and slip into your spandex: it's time to join the gig economy.

Parcel Corps is an extreme sports delivery-'em-up where players mount a bike and sign a casual work agreement with one of three rival courier corporations. Embrace the life of a freelance bicycle messenger as you deliver packages on the behest of an eclectic range of colorful customers. Find your own lines and pull off sick tricks as you skid through the vibrant streets of New Island. Witness your earnings be sapped away by your corporate overlords through exploitive contractual agreements that you felt pressured into signing.

With a wide range of missions on offer and enough ramps, quarter-pipes and conveniently placed scaffolding to make you question the city planners' decision-making abilities, Parcel Corps features more single-player shenanigans than you can shake an insulated delivery bag at.

Skid onto the sun-kissed streets of New Island, where three bicycle courier corporations are vying to become the biggest, most profitable business in town. Pick a side and lock handlebars forming two-wheeled rivalries in pursuit of market share, influence, and a modest income.

But this honest struggle to make ends meet is swiftly threatened by the arrival of Rich Villainé, CEO of crude oil exploration company Polar Petroleum PLC. Villainé's political ambitions place him on a collision course with New Island's bicycle messengers. As the details of his maniacal plan become clear, it will be up to you, humble player, to *checks notes* save the world — while delivering delicious food, valuable parcels, and sensitive documents in 32 minutes or less...

Originally scheduled for September 3, 2024, Secret Mode announced that Parcel Corps is coming to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S later this year.

Dear Valued Customer,

Your delivery of:

[ ] extra-tight Lycra shorts
[ ] three tonnes of protein powder
[x] satirical bicycle courier game Parcel Corps for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S

We'll be in touch when we've calculated a new delivery date.

Key Features:

  • Enter the corporate world of extreme bicycle messaging: Sell your soul to one of three bicycle courier corporations: Anglo-Australian start up Wallaby Wheelers; Brooklyn's own East Coast Couriers; or the ultra-professional, pan European, Das-la Poste.
