POSTAL 2 Redux announced, a full remake of the unhinged classic

We're getting a full modern POSTAL 2 remake with POSTAL 2 Redux being announced today. Running With Scissors have teamed up with Flat2VR Studios and Team Beef for it.

Originally, there was just going to be POSTAL 2 VR but it seems it needed so much work, they've decided to just go ahead and upgrade everything. They're also moving it all over to the Unity game engine for the remake. To be clear, POSTAL 2 Redux and POSTAL 2 VR are separate games.

"Players begged us to fix the crashes, add modern graphics, and maybe stop the dog from pissing on them every five minutes," said Vince Desi, Founder of Running With Scissors. "We’re doing two of those things."

In the press release for supported platforms they said: "POSTAL 2 Redux is gunning for every modern box that’ll boot: Windows PC, macOS, and Linux rigs; PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5; Xbox Series X|S; and even Nintendo Switch devices—so you can raise hell on the D Bus. Final platform lineup will depend on each storefront’s paperwork (and how many stretch goals are achieved), but the plan is wall‑to‑wall carnage wherever you play."

I've reached out for confirmation to find out for Linux if that will be a Native Linux port or ensuring it works in Proton.

Highlights:

• High Res Textures & 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.

“Flat2VR Studios is genuinely thrilled to help write the next chapter of the POSTAL saga,” said Eric Masher, COO at Flat2VR Studios. “Bringing Paradise to new platforms—and putting the shovel in the hands of both longtime fans and first-time troublemakers—is a genuine career highlight for our team.”

“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,” said Grant Bagwell, Co-Founder of Team Beef. “Kickstarter is simply how we shove even more nonsense in before some suit makes us stop.”

It will be going to a Kickstarter campaign for funding which you can follow on the pre-launch page. The campaign will launch "Summer" with no clearer date given.
