POSTAL 2 REDUX is Coming to Kickstarter This Summer!

[p]Running With Scissors proudly announces the ultimate remake for PC & Consoles (NOTE: POSTAL 2 REDUX and the recently announced POSTAL 2 VR are separate games)[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]Honored and humbled by the greatest fans in gaming, Running With Scissors, with our publisher Flat2VR Studios and co-developer Team Beef, are shooting our ultimate load to bring you “POSTAL 2 REDUX” on PC and for the very first time on consoles. A ground‑up overhaul of the infamous open world shooter, POSTAL 2 REDUX will hoist every original asset out of the creaking Unreal 1.5 engine and slam it into today’s Unity—delivering the same familiar week in the POSTAL Dude’s life with a merciless glow‑up and a bucket of new toys.[/p][p]Since the original release in 2003, the infamous POSTAL 2 has led the way in creating the legacy and culture of the POSTAL universe and community. “We’re committed to creating the ultimate POSTAL experience. For many years, the #1 request from fans around the world has been to remake POSTAL 2 and that’s what we’re friggin gonna do.” said Vince Desi, the mad hatter founder of RWS.[/p][p]Working fist in hand with Flat2VR and Team Beef, this Kickstarter is the cherry breaking moment in the history of the most blacklisted, criticized, condemned, and loved game brand in history. POSTAL 2 REDUX will deliver the POSTAL Dude and Champ in all their glorious and wonderful insanity with enhanced visuals, new weapons, nastier physics, and endless Easter eggs.

Why POSTAL 2 REDUX Isn’t Just a Coat of Paint[/p]
  • [p]High-Res Textures & Dynamic Lighting – Paradise’s warped billboards and puddles of fine fluids get the razor-sharp grime they deserve.[/p]
  • [p]Zero Load Streaming World – Sprint from one end of town to the other without a single elevator, door pause, or immersion breaker.[/p]
  • [p]Smarter, Freer Crowds – Civilians still snitch, cops still overreact, but improved pathfinding means riots spark faster and messier than ever.[/p]
  • [p]Reforged Arsenal – Weighty ballistics, ragdoll dismemberment, and rounds that punch clean through unlucky bystanders.[/p]
  • [p]Fully Propped, Breakable Interiors – Stores, arcades, and alleyways are stuffed with physics-enabled junk begging to be destroyed.[/p]
  • [p]Champ 2.0 – Pet him, sic him, or let him photobomb your next headshot; unleashed Paradise’s goodest boy will enjoy every inch of turf.[/p]
[p]Paradise itself will breathe lighting shifts over the course of each in-game day—from sun-scorched afternoons to lamp-lit alleys come evening—and every junk-strewn corner bristles with physics-enabled debris begging to be destroyed. Every classic instrument of overkill is being rebuilt from the trigger up—plus a few fresh calibers Paradise PD hasn’t outlawed yet. Word on the street is the POSTAL Dude’s… attachments might be in line for an upgrade too—because tasteful restraint is for other franchises.

Flat2VR is on fire partnering with RWS. Our goal is simple, make POSTAL 2 REDUX the best damn game it deserves to be.” said Eric Masher, COO of Flat2VR.” Platform Hit List[/p][p]POSTAL 2 REDUX is gunning for every modern box that’ll boot: Windows PC, MacOS, and Linux rigs; PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5; Xbox Series X|S; and even Nintendo Switch devices—so you can raise hell on the D Bus. Final platform lineup will depend on each storefront’s paperwork (and how many stretch goals are achieved), but the plan is wall-to-wall manic fun wherever you play.[/p][p]Kickstarter Blood Drive Launches This Summer[/p][p]The prelaunch page is open now; hit Follow and you’ll get spammed the moment the campaign goes live. Backers may unlock exclusive game keys, limited collector editions, or even snag a chance to become immortalized as a fully autonomous character in Paradise. (Hell, just imagine how many players might piss on you, if that’s what you’re into.[/p][p]“POSTAL 2 has outlasted many of its peers. It’s still rocking a 96% user score on Steam, and fans have been begging for a console edition since the dawn of time,” said Mike Jaret-Schachter, Chief Bidet Officer at RWS.[/p][p]What To Do Next[/p][p]Mark your calendars and clear your schedules—June 12, 2025 is when we fire the starting pistol: POSTAL 2 REDUX revealed, Kickstarter pre-launch activated—time to gear up.

Postal 2 Redux is bringing back the controversial FPS with a full remaster

2003 FPS Postal 2 is etched onto the annals of PC gaming history, for better and worse. The famously foul first-person shooter from Running With Scissors remains a noteworthy part of the culture, earning itself a controversial reputation and cult following for its blend of brutal action and bad-taste humor. Having been given a 20th-anniversary overhaul two years ago, it's now returning once more, as the studio announces plans for a full remaster.

Controversial shooter Postal 3 gets FPS remake, approved by devs

Even by the fantastically controversial standards of its predecessors, Postal 3 is the unwanted child of the family. The third installment in the notoriously vulgar, graphic shooter series dedicated to gross-out humor, Postal 3 was developed by Trashmasters and Akella under contract from Postal creator Running With Scissors, then effectively disowned, and is now considered to be non-canonical by RWS and fans. Yet a complete conversion mod is bringing it back as an FPS game, and it's already drawing attention.
