POSTAL: Bullet Paradise Has Already Been Canceled

Publisher Running With Scissors has already pulled the plug on the newly announced POSTAL: Bullet Paradise after fans showed extreme concern with the use of AI in the game’s creation.

Running With Scissors founder, Vince Desi, released the following statement:

“After revealing POSTAL: Bullet Paradise, a title Running With Scissors was planning on publishing but not developing, we’ve been overwhelmed with negative responses from our concerned POSTAL Community. The strong feedback from them is that elements of the game are very likely AI-generated and thus has caused extreme damage to our brand and our company reputation.

We’ve always been, and will always be, transparent with our community. Our trust in the development team is broken; therefore, we’ve killed the project. We have a lot of good things coming (some you know and some you don’t).

Since forming Running With Scissors in 1996, we’ve always said that our fans are part of the team. Our priority is to always do right by the millions who support the POSTAL franchise. We are grateful for the opportunity to make the games we want to play, and will continue to focus on our new projects and updates coming in 2026 and beyond. We can’t wait to share more!”

Kind of a shame, since POSTAL always seemed like it would be a good franchise to make a bullet heaven game in, but it’s really hard to argue with the fans who are cheering on the destruction of games heralded as “AI Slop”.

The weirdest thing is that this development gets a lot more interesting when you find out there was seemingly a quiet defense being ran internally in Discord.
