Flat2VR Studios, in collaboration with developers Team Beef and Running With Scissors, has officially announced that Postal 2 Redux is coming to the Nintendo Switch. The open-world FPS, originally released in 2003, is getting a full overhaul. A Kickstarter campaign is planned to launch this summer to support the game’s development.
Eric Masher, COO of Flat2VR Studios, shared his excitement about bringing the controversial classic to a modern audience:
“Flat2VR Studios is genuinely thrilled to help write the next chapter in the Postal saga. Bringing Paradise to new platforms — and putting the shovel in the hands of both longtime fans and first-time troublemakers, is a true career highlight for our team.”
Team Beef co-founder Grant Bagwell also chimed in with a tongue-in-cheek take on the technical challenges behind the project:
“The original code tried to die on us daily. Running With Scissors let us butcher it and stitch it back to life — now with fewer surprise blue screens. Kickstarter is simply how we shove even more nonsense in before some suit makes us stop.”
Here more information about the game:
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 virtual reality (Postal 2: 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.
Key Features
- High-Resolution Textures and 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.
