Belfast, Northern Ireland – 26 September 2024:

Dear Valued Customer,

Your redelivery for Parcel Corps has been booked for 3 October. Thank you for your patience, and we hope you enjoy your experience on PC/PlayStation®5 (PS5™) /Xbox Series X|S (delete as appropriate).

As an apology for your delay, please enjoy the following prepared statement from our board of directors:

"Hello, future freelance contractor! We hope you're as excited as we are to join the high stakes, low reward life of a bicycle courier. We have an incredible innovation coming to our services which is sure to disrupt the direct-to-consumer delivery industry: online multiplayer!

That’s right! You’ll have the opportunity to compete with your peers for a meagre slice of an increasingly crowded addressable market. Multiplayer features can be found in Hubs all across New Island – simply cycle in and get online for some exciting cross-play, multiplayer action.

Available at launch will be “knock out”, where you'll race up to five other couriers to drop off your parcels, with the slowest riders’ contracts terminated after every delivery. Survive the cull to earn a nominal fee on top of your regular paycheque!*

You can also compete against other couriers in time trials via our “Strift” app, the latest in fitness entertainment. Once you’ve opted into the harvesting of your personal data, open this free app at any time to compare yourself to random strangers online. Post your best times to the leaderboards across routes throughout New Island and become the envy of your peers!

We won't be stopping there, however. Stay tuned as we expand our services and push into new and exciting territories. The board loves what you do!"

Parcel Corps will be available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S on 3 October 2024.

About Parcel Corps
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 then 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! All while delivering delicious food, valuable parcels, and sensitive documents in 32 minutes or less…
