Postal 2 Redux video game remake development

Overview

Developers Running With Scissors, Flat2VR, Team Beef, and Impact Reality are developing ‘Postal 2 Redux’, a complete rebuild of the 2003 first-person shooter. The project, which reached its Kickstarter funding goal in a single day, has raised over $680,000, significantly surpassing its initial $250,000 goal.

Built using the Unity 6 engine, the remake features technical upgrades such as improved textures, lighting, and shaders, alongside a new physics system and overhauled NPC intelligence. The game is scheduled for release in Spring 2027.

This remake marks the first time the Postal series will be available on PlayStation consoles. Confirmed platforms include PC, PS4, PS5, PS VR2, and Quest, while Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch are currently listed as pending approval.

While the original title was known for its sandbox nature in the fictional town of Paradise, Arizona, it also faced international bans in countries like Australia, New Zealand, and Germany due to its depiction of violence. The remake will retain the series’ canine companion, Champ, with expanded interaction mechanics.
