'Postal 2 Redux' And 'Postal 2 VR' Launches Kickstarter Campaign - Trailer

by Rainier on Aug. 12, 2025 @ 9:30 a.m. PDT

A ground‑up overhaul of 2003’s open‑world shooter, Postal 2 Redux delivers the same familiar week in the POSTAL Dude’s life with a merciless glow‑up and a bucket of new toys for all consoles that will allow us.

POSTAL 2 Redux lets you loose in the most chaotic sandbox shooter ever, fully reimagined for a new generation. Survive a week in Paradise, Arizona - buy milk, return books, or go completely POSTAL with an arsenal of weapons. The choice is yours…but good luck staying out of trouble.

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.

Running With ScissorsTeam Beef, and Impact Inked officially confirmed what long-time degenerates have been suspecting since the internet started acting weird: POSTAL 2 Redux wasn’t just some fever dream. It’s getting funded. The Kickstarter campaign is now live, and while Redux isn’t technically a VR game, it sure as hell wouldn’t exist without one.

Plucked from the womb of POSTAL 2 VR and sired by the same sick crew, Postal 2 Redux and Postal VR are being developed in lockstep. Every stretch goal hit will power up both. And for those watching the showcase, a special bonus was revealed: a limited-edition Kickstarter tier offering POSTAL 2 VR at a reduced price, available only to the first 200 to claim it.

The Redux journey began in a piss-stained alley of modding forums and fan requests. After years of “when is it coming to VR?” and “bring it to PlayStation” and “make it for mobile while you're at it,” the developers gave up on trying to say no. So now, the answer is now an unapologetic “fine, dammit.” 

“This all started because of POSTAL 2 VR,” said Grant Bagwell, Co-Founder of Team Beef. “We had no idea how many people would rally behind it. Eventually we thought: screw it, let’s remake the whole damn game.”

This isn't a remaster. It’s not a port. It’s a full remake; new engine, new assets, today’s systems, and all the glorious, deeply unhinged mechanics that made POSTAL 2 an enduring cult classic. The Redux version expands on the original with physics-driven mayhem, new movement and traversal mechanics, smarter AI, updated visuals, and fully reworked combat and weapon systems. The devs are even giving the Dude a real inventory this time.

But don’t worry, the original charm isn’t going anywhere.

“We're building the Redux version to retain all the glorious, broken, chaotic soul of the original,” said Eric Masher, COO at Flat2VR Studios. “Nothing is getting cleaned up. It's just getting louder, grimier, and way more interactive.”

Every iconic moment is being recreated with new tech and terrible judgment, from mundane errands gone horribly wrong to full-blown rampages across Paradise. It's still POSTAL 2, just one where you can dual-wield cats, chainsaws, and sledgehammers, all while flipping off protesters and “innocent” bystanders.

The Kickstarter campaign is live now and explicitly includes support for the VR version. That means every stretch goal (new episodes, multiplayer modes, sandbox enhancements, secret weapons) applies to VR just as much as flatscreen. Early bird backers can also score both versions for less than the retail price. Oh, and yes: you can finally pet the dog.

So if you’ve been waiting twenty years to sign a petition with your middle finger, urinate freely in full roomscale, or pet the damn dog, urine luck. POSTAL 2 VR is your chance to finally do it. The Kickstarter is live now, and every backer helps make the VR version bigger, badder, and more insane.

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.

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?

So if you’ve been waiting twenty years to sign a petition with your middle finger, urinate freely in full roomscale, or pet the damn dog, urine luck. POSTAL 2 VR is your chance to finally do it. The Kickstarter is live now, and every backer helps make the VR version bigger, badder, and more insane.

Postal 2 Redux is coming to Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam).
