Postal: Bullet Paradise cancelled following claims of AI use, just days after it was announced

Postal: Bullet Paradise, which was just announced for Nintendo Switch this week, has now been cancelled.

Running With Scissors was planning on publishing the project, which was being made by Goonswarm Games. However, fans were displeased with the reveal, claiming that generated AI was in use. Running With Scissors has now made the decision to pull the plug on the game.

The company’s official statement reads:

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!
