Flat2VR Studios, Team Beef, and Running With Scissors have announced POSTAL 2 Redux, a “complete overhaul” of the 2003 open-world first-person shooter.
A Kickstarter campaign will launch this winter (Southern Hemisphere). Target platforms include PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, PC, Mac, and Linux — though the final platform list “is dependent on store documentation (and how many stretch goals get hit).”

POSTAL 2 Redux is a complete overhaul of the infamous 2003 open-world shooter. Part modernization, part love letter, POSTAL 2 Redux will rip every last resource from the Unreal 1.5 engine and throw it into modern Unity — delivering the same familiar week in the life of the POSTAL Dude with a ruthless shine and a slew of new tricks.
POSTAL 2 Redux was born the moment Team Beef’s mad scientist developers cracked open the original POSTAL 2 for virtual reality (POSTAL 2: VR) and saw two decades of code begging for a modern facelift. Rather than compromise the Dude’s glorious return with a quick and dirty spit-shine, publisher Flat2VR Studios convinced Running With Scissors to sanction a full resurrection: preserve every block of Paradise but rebuild the guts so the game actually runs on hardware made this decade — minus the smell of burning silicon.
The goal is simple: deliver POSTAL 2’s definitive, no-apologies sandbox — rebuilt unhinged, ready for whatever screen you’ve got, and still happy to let you complete those errands with a shovel. POSTAL 2 Redux will include upgraded visuals, new weapons, crunchier physics, and enough easter eggs to restock the porcelain at Uncle Dave’s Compound.
Key Features
-
-
- High-Res Textures & Dynamic Lighting – Paradise’s warped billboards and questionable fluid puddles finally get the sharp grime they deserve.
- Zero-Load Streaming World – Run from one end of town to the other without a single elevator, locked door, or immersion breaker.
- Smarter, Freer Crowds – Civilians still rat, cops still overreact, but improved pathfinding means riots kick off faster and messier than ever.
- Reforged Arsenal – Robust ballistics, ragdoll gibs, and projectiles for punching through the unlucky.
- Fully Supported AND Breakable Interiors – Stores, galleries, and alleys are crammed with physics-begging clutter.
- Champ 2.0 – Pet him, shoot him, or let him ruin your next photo; Paradise’s goodest boi finally deserves his kibble.
-
Paradise itself will breathe: lighting shifts throughout each in-game day — from sun-blasted afternoons to lantern-lit dusk alleyways — and every junk-covered corner is filled with physics-begging clutter. Every classic overkill weapon is being rebuilt from scratch — plus a few new calibers the Paradise PD hasn’t outlawed yet. Word on the street is the Dude’s accessories… might also be in line for an upgrade — because tasteful restraint is for other franchises.
