Refreshed version of one of PC's bloodiest games is in the works

Postal 2 Redux has been announced, which is a refreshed version of the controversial FPS from 2003.

1. The devs plan to raise funds for development through Kickstarter. The fundraise will start in the summer (you will find the link at the end of the news).
2. Versions for PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and PlayStation 5 are planned. However, the devs reserve that the final list of platforms will depend on the course of the fundraise and the requirements of various digital stores.

Postal 2 Redux - what's new?

Postal 2 Redux will introduce a lot of changes, suggesting that we will be dealing more with a remake than a remaster. The original was created on Unreal Engine 1.5, and the new release is being developed on the latest version of the Unity engine.

1. Compared to the original, Postal 2 Redux will offer improved textures and a dynamic lighting system.
2. Loading screens will also be removed during exploration.
3. The creators plan to improve the AI of crowds so that characters move more efficiently around locations, and riots break out more frequently and are more chaotic.
4. The weapon's performance will be improved, and the locations will be filled with destructible objects.
5. Moreover, our dog will finally be able to help us in the fight.
6. We can also expect new types of weapons and improved physics.

Unfortunately, the devs haven't yet announced when the release of Postal 2 Redux is scheduled.

The story of how the decision to refresh was made is really interesting. Studio Team Beef recently announced that they are working on Postal 2 VR. While working on this project, the team had to break down the original from 2003 and found a bunch of things that could be improved. Together with the publisher, Flat2VR, they convinced the Running With Scissors studio (the franchise owners) to authorize a full refresh, and thus Postal 2 Redux was born.
