Bad news for players looking forward to the full release of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/parcel-corps/">Parcel Corps</a>. The messenger <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/best/simulation/">simulation</a> game's launching has been delayed to a later date in 2024.

But in true satire fashion, developers and publishers made the announcement in a hilarious way. They revealed the news in a tongue-in-cheek press release.

The lighthearted announcement plays on the game's theme. It offered players a mock “delivery notice” for their anticipated copy of Parcel Corps. Players can choose from humorous reasons for the delay, including "courier malfeasance" and "theft by wallaby," before revealing the real reason: developer polish.

Creators of Parcel Corps said they needed extra development time to ensure the “best possible launch.”

“We understand that some may be disappointed by the delay,” Billy Goat Entertainment said. “However, we're confident that the extra time will allow us to deliver the most polished and enjoyable experience for players on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S," they added.

To appease eager players, the announcement also included a link to the latest trailer. It showcased the game's high-octane bicycle parkour and delivery mechanics. The trailer provided a glimpse into the vibrant world of New Island.

Parcel Corps is a satirical bicycle courier game developed by Billy Goat Entertainment and published by Secret Mode.

Players navigate the streets of New Island, choosing a side among three rival courier companies.

But the lighthearted story takes a turn for the unexpected. A sinister plot by oil tycoon Rich Villainé threatens the very existence of the city. Players must then master their bike-handling skills. They need to deliver packages on time, and ultimately save the day.

The gameplay involved players choosing a side and engaging in “two-wheeled rivalries”. Their goal is to capture market share and influence. All the while, dodging the nefarious schemes of oil tycoon Rich Villainé. As the game unfolds, players will find themselves unexpectedly thrust into a world-saving mission. At the same time, battling the clock to deliver vital packages within a 32-minute timeframe.

Billy Goat Entertainment is a video game developer based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It was founded in 2010.
