Parcel Corps is going to give me some killer calves

I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike

The PC Gaming Show is never a stream I focus on as I don’t really game on my PC. But with so many of these games jumping over to console, I decided to give it a go this year and I’m glad I did. Because had I skipped the show, I likely wouldn’t have learned about Parcel Corps.

From developer Billy Goat Entertainment and publisher Secret Mode, Parcel Corps puts players in the shoes of a freelance bike messenger who must make their deliveries before time runs out. The game takes place on New Island where three delivery companies are just waiting to pay you the least amount of money legally possible to do your job. That’s the gig economy for you, baby!

While making deliveries is the name of the game, players can also pull off some sick tricks on the halfpipes and ramps scattered across the city’s nine areas, terrify rooftop pigeons, and, if they’re in the mood, overthrow a totalitarian government.

Cheesy trailer aside, Parcel Corps certainly has my attention with its colorful world, inviting gameplay, and anti-capitalistic messaging. I mean, the villain of the game is named Rich Villainé. That alone makes me want to play this just so I can knock that fucker down a few notches.

Like a lot of the games revealed today, Parcel Corps will arrive in 2024 on an unspecified date. When it does land, the game will release for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
