“Deliver At All Costs” is set in 1959, when the fear of nuclear annihilation was as real as John Travolta's dancing in Grease (1978). Your character, Winston Green, is a courier who will stop at nothing to deliver his packages to their rightful owners. The game looks like a barrel of fun, with an outrageous physics engine and a story that seems to border on a well-crafted parody, much like the excellent Leslie Nielson films.
You'll drive period-appropriate pickup trucks, ramming cop cars, and leaping through billboards, all while hauling massive 200-pound (91 kg) swordfish across the city. The trailer also shows Winston driving off a rooftop, only to float across the city using balloons tied to the back of his car.
Jokes aside, if you look closely at the advanced physics effects and destructibility of the environment, you might be more than a little surprised at what the developer Far Out Games has managed to do with this clever video game. Apparently, if you try to run someone over, some of them will grab onto the car and hang on for dear life, like in those scenes in zombie movies.
At one point, meteorites start falling from the sky in an apocalyptic scenario, which seems incredible. It reminded me a lot of the film “2012” by Roland Emmerich, ironically from 2009, with John Cusack. It turns out that a volcano has erupted, but who's to say that other phenomena of natural destruction won't occur?
This is just a taste, so we'll have to wait for more information. Hopefully The Game Awards in December will feature more gameplay footage. Driving isn't all you do in this game. There are scenes where Winston is on foot or even “climbing” bridges Nathan Drake style. The whole tone of the game feels like something out of a Leslie Nielsen movie.

The more you watch the short gameplay reveal trailer, the more you'll like it. While you can't pre-order it, you can at least wishlist it on Steam for future notifications.
Deliver At All Costs is published by Konami and will be released in 2025 on Steam, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and the Epic Store. If you're a main console player, you don't have to worry, but if you're only playing on PC, “stop for a while and listen” to the recommended specifications.
Apparently, the list isn't final yet, but currently the minimum requirements to hit 1440p 60fps include 16GB of RAM, an Intel Core i5-11400F processor, and a GTX 1660 Super.
The recommended specs presumably target 4K, though frame rate isn't specified. RAM remains at 16GB, while the CPU calls for an Intel i7 (model unknown) and at least an Nvidia GeForce 2070 GPU.
Judging by the game's graphics and level of physics simulation, these specs don't justify the 1440p/60fps and 4K targets. They don't look like placeholders, but take this with a grain of salt. Barring a technical miracle, an Nvidia 2070 would never hit 3840×2160 at 60 frames per second and run just fine.
