Flat2VR Studios, Team Beef, and Running With Scissors announce POSTAL 2 Redux, a "ground‑up overhaul" of the first-person shooter sequel that played into anti-videogame hysteria when it was released in 2003. This will port the game to the Unity engine, promising "a merciless glow‑up and a bucket of new toys." A post on Kickstarter teases a campaign that will soon begin to crowdfund development. The teaser trailer is a waste of 30 seconds, but the announcement has more details:
POSTAL 2 Redux was born the moment developer Team Beef's mad doctors cracked the original POSTAL 2 open for VR and saw two decades of code begging for a modern makeover. Rather than compromise the Dude’s glorious return with a quick and dirty spit-shine, publisher Flat2VR Studios convinced Running With Scissors to authorize a full resurrection: preserve every scat‑splattered inch of Paradise, but rebuild the guts so the game actually boots on hardware manufactured this decade—without the aroma of burnt silicon.
The goal is simple: deliver the ultimate, no‑excuses POSTAL 2 sandbox—rebuilt with no limits, ready for every screen you own, and still happy to let you finish your errands with a shovel. POSTAL 2 Redux will pack in enhanced visuals, new weapons, nastier physics, and enough Easter eggs to back‑up the porcelain at Uncle Dave’s Compound.
