Running With Scissors, Team Beef, and Flat2VR Studios have launched crowdfunding for Postal 2 Redux, their long-awaited remake of the second Postal game.
The new Postal 2 Redux crowdfunding is now live over on its Kickstarter page. The crowdfunding is seeking $250,000 to finish the remake, and is already near its funding goal at the time of writing. POSTAL 2 Redux is in development for Windows PC, Mac, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, PS4, and PS5.
Vince Desi, the Mel Brooks of gaming, along with fellow RWS legend Mike Jaret-Schachter, COO of Flat2VR Eric Masher and Team Beef’s co-founder Grant “Baggy” Bagwell have announced the launch of Postal 2 Redux Kickstarter during today’s VR Games Showcase.
Since the game is being remade from ground up in a new engine, the Kickstarter goals are shared between regular Redux and VR versions concurrently. The dev teams have assured gamers Postal 2 Redux will remain as grimy and chaotic as the original they fell in love with 22 years ago.
Here’s a rundown on the previously announced remake, plus a new trailer:
POSTAL 2 Redux is a ground‑up overhaul of 2003’s infamous open‑world shooter. Part modernization, part love‑letter, 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.
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.
Features
- High Res Textures & Dynamic Lighting – Paradise’s warped billboards and puddles of questionable fluid finally get the razor-sharp grime they deserve.
- Zero-Load Streaming World – Sprint from one end of town to the other without a single elevator, door pause, or immersion-breaker.
- Smarter, Freer Crowds – Civilians still snitch, cops still overreact, but improved path-finding means riots spark faster and messier than ever.
- Re-forged Arsenal – Weighty ballistics, rag-doll dismemberment, and rounds that punch clean through unlucky bystanders.
- Fully Propped, Breakable Interiors – Stores, arcades, and alleyways are stuffed with physics-enabled junk begging to be destroyed.
- Champ 2.0 – Pet him, sic him, or let him photobomb your next headshot; Paradise’s goodest boy finally earns his kibble.
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 Dude’s… attachments might be in line for an upgrade too—because tasteful restraint is for other franchises.
