TAMPA, FL – August 12, 2025 – POSTAL 2 Redux, a ground-up overhaul of 2003’s infamous open-world shooter from Running With Scissors, the talented Team Beef and the balls to the walls publisher Impact Inked makes a triumphant return to Paradise with the launch of its Kickstarter campaign today.
More than two decades after POSTAL 2 arrived on the scene, the POSTAL Dude returns to chaotic glory. POSTAL 2 Redux aims to reinvigorate the iconic FPS by bringing it to today’s gamers with an updated engine, visual improvements, a no-loading zone vision of Paradise, and much, much more. POSTAL 2 Redux, along with the previously announced POSTAL 2 VR, brings all the dark humor and over-the-top action to series fans and newcomers alike.
The POSTAL 2 Redux Kickstarter campaign allows the trio of Impact Inked, Team Beef, and Running With Scissors to create an uncompromising vision of the famously controversial game. With funding tiers designed to accommodate support at all levels, backers can help bring the vision to life and push for stretch goals that deliver even more POSTAL goodness.
POSTAL 2 Redux Features

About Running With Scissors
Founded in 1996 and still defiantly independent in Tucson, Arizona, Running With Scissors makes the games your mom warned you about. Best known for the long-running POSTAL series—an unapologetic blend of dark satire, slapstick ultraviolence, and free-speech mischief—RWS has steered the franchise through bans, cult fandom, a Hollywood adaptation, and more than two decades of community-driven mayhem. With a mantra of “pure, politically incorrect entertainment,” the studio continues to self-publish on PC and consoles, stream weekly dev shows, and license fresh spins on its rowdy universe. POSTAL 2 Redux is the latest chapter in RWS’s mission to keep Paradise—and free expression—very much alive.
