Welcome to Paradise—Try Not to Burn It Down.
You’ve got a week’s worth of errands. Buy some milk. Return an overdue library book. Maybe get Gary Coleman’s autograph. Simple enough, right? But this is POSTAL 2 Redux - where a normal day can spiral into absolute carnage at a moment’s notice, and the only thing more unpredictable than your to-do list is the lunatic freakshow that calls this town home.
For the first time ever, POSTAL 2 is fully reimagined for the new generation, bringing its dark humor, open-world mayhem, and unapologetic absurdity to an entirely new level. Step into the well-worn boots of The POSTAL Dude, a hapless everyman just trying to get through the week in the bizarre town of Paradise, Arizona. Whether you choose to play it cool or go completely POSTAL is entirely up to you.
Unleash Chaos—Or Don’t.
Paradise is your playground, and how you interact with it is entirely up to you. Be a law-abiding citizen or let loose with an arsenal of insane weapons, from gasoline and matches to the infamous cat silencer, lob grenades, or take a more… personal approach with physics-driven melee combat. Every choice you make fuels the town’s dynamic AI, leading to unpredictable encounters, spontaneous riots, and absolute bedlam.
A Living, Breathing Open World (Full of Weirdos and Trouble)
Explore the world at your own pace, taking on daily errands in a non-linear sandbox filled with unpredictable NPCs, interactive environments, and absurdly detailed physics. Meet (or antagonize) eccentric residents, dodge rampaging elephants, or take in the sights, including Krotchy’s Toy Store and Uncle Dave’s heavily armed religious cult.
So… how will you spend your week in Paradise?

Mike J\'s New Moves / Hair and Beard:
It\'s said there are two certainties in life. One is taxes and the other is that Mike J will bust a move when you piss on him. No Redux of POSTAL 2 would be complete without teaching him some new moves. And what better way to show them off but with hair and a beard the latest graphical technology 2025 has to offer. Get it all wet!
POSTAL 4 Outfit:
2003 Trenchcoat-chique is always in fashion. But sometimes the dude wants to kick back in his favourite dressing gown. Unlockable POSTAL 4 outfit is yours for the mere price of following the campaign.
Steamworks Support:
We often hear \"you suck, I could do better\". After we\'ve given Mom her sleeping pills we have to admit she had a point. Hitting this goal adds Steamworks support into Redux. Dream my beautiful modders!
Super-Fun Pigeon Hunter Mission:
The Pigeons Will Pay. You asked. You begged. Many a shrine made of bird bones was pissed on. Now we\'re finally bringing the Super-Fun Pigeon Hunter Mission to life for real this time. Vince screamed at the accountants, so we got new accountants. Deaf accountants. Nothing can stop this happening other than not hitting this follower goal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are you making this when POSTAL 4 isnt done?
POSTAL 2 Redux is being made (Team Beef) and published (Impact Inked) externally, so it has no effect on Running With Scissors internal projects.\n
Why a remake when the original is perfect?
We started this journey because were fans. Hardcore POSTAL fans. POSTAL 2 has a place in our hearts (and hard drives), and we believe it deserves a place on every modern console too. This isnt simply a port to modern consoles. Its preservation with purpose. We\'re keeping everything you love intact. Wherever we enhance or improve, we do so with the original in mind. With Running With Scissors by our side, one things certain: its still POSTAL. Its still the Dude.
Will there be localized dubs?
Were aiming for as many languages as possible. There are some wrinkles to iron out with older dubs, and possibilities for new onesmore news to follow.
Regional restrictions?
Were aware of issues in Germany, New Zealand, and a few other regions. We have plans to give Redux the best chance everywhere, but final approval rests with regional authorities. We cannot guarantee that POSTAL 2 VR and POSTAL 2 Redux will ultimately be available everywhere, but we can guarantee that we will fight to give players worldwide access to the game.\n
Multiplayer / Co-op?
Potential stretch-goal territory, but doesnt feel like POSTAL if you cant cross streams with your friends.\n
What does Redux meanremaster, remake, or what?
Redux moves the game into Unity. We start with original assets and logic, then upgrade, replace, and add brand-new content thats not present in the original game. Fear not. Its still POSTAL 2 just Reduxed.\n
Will Rick Hunters original lines return? New lines?
Rick Hunter may have some new lines.
Release window?
Targeting 2026. Exact timing depends on development and stretch-goal scope.\n
Censorship?
If we dont have to change it, we wont. Platform holders may request tweaks, but PC will remain uncensored. Were confident we can reach every major storefront with minimal edits.\n
Platforms - Xbox? Seriously? PS5? PS4? Switch 2? Mobile?
Our aim is to provide POSTAL 2 Redux on every possible platform. For more details, follow the Kickstarter! ;)\n
How are VR and Redux Different?
To clarify, this Kickstarter funds a single product: POSTAL 2 Redux. However, both Redux and the VR version will share a common core, meaning improvements will benefit both flat-screen and VR simultaneously. If you\'re only interested in the VR version, note that any stretch goals achieved through this campaign will also apply to it. That said, unlike POSTAL 2 Redux, the release of POSTAL 2 VR is not contingent on the success of this Kickstarter.
Building them in tandem leads to smarter development: shared gameplay improvements, more efficient and wider testing, and better polish across the board. We\'re also looking into the most cost-effective way for backers to own both, if they choose to. Well share more information as we get closer to launch.\n
Will the original be delisted?
No.
Why Unity?
Unity is the ideal engine for a multi-platform remaster because it offers powerful cross-platform support, letting us target PC, consoles, and even mobile from a single code-base. Its customizable art pipelines and shader systems allow us to faithfully recreate the original games look or enhance it with modern touches, while giving artists direct control over visual fidelity. With flexible tooling, fast iteration, and support for both legacy-style visuals and modern rendering features, Unity strikes the perfect balance between preservation and progress.\n
When to expect more info?
Click Follow on the [u]Kickstarter pre-launch page [/u] to get every update the moment it drops this summer.\n
What content ships day-one? DLC? Extra missions?
This will scale with Kickstarter performance and stretch goals. Stay tuned.
Will Mike J still dance if you piss on him?
If history is any indicator, nothing can stop Mike J from busting a move whilst taking a golden shower! Maybe hes learned some new moves. Only time will tell.\n
Will the game support modding / SteamWorks?
We love modding. Some members of the development teams started their professional careers as modders (as did RWS staff). More information will be shared soon, but stretch goals could bring official mod support to both PC and consoles!\n
Will existing owners of POSTAL 2 get Redux for FREE?!
POSTAL 2 Redux is a huge joint effort between Running With Scissors, Team Beef, and Impact Inked, so owning a copy of the original game does not get you a free copy. Were pouring every ounce of love (and bodily fluid) we have into POSTAL 2 Redux to make sure it\'s as beloved as the original and worth every penny.
