Refreshed version of one of PC's bloodiest games is in the works
One of the most controversial FPS in history, Postal 2, will get a new version. The project is expected not only to improve graphics, but it will also offer many gameplay improvements.
Postal 2 Redux has been announced, which is a refreshed version of the controversial FPS from 2003.
- 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).
- 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.
- Compared to the original, Postal 2 Redux will offer improved textures and a dynamic lighting system.
- Loading screens will also be removed during exploration.
- 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.
- The weapon's performance will be improved, and the locations will be filled with destructible objects.
- Moreover, our dog will finally be able to help us in the fight.
- 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.
