On Monday, August 24, Impact Reality announced the return of Postal 2. Postal 2 was refused classification in Australia, banned in New Zealand and restricted in Germany. This was a sage that went on for 19 years. Apparently there&#8217;s been a resolution and I&#8217;m willing to bet the most popular video game in the world might have had something to do with this refire. <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/brianmazique\/\" data-ga-track=\"InternalLink:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/brianmazique\/\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"Let&#039;s talk video games\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Let&#8217;s talk video games<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Postal 2 Redux: Key FactsDetailInfoGamePostal 2 ReduxRelease windowSpring 2027Confirmed platformsPS5, PS4, PC, PS VR2, QuestPending approvalXbox Series X|S, Nintendo SwitchPC supportWindows, macOS, LinuxEngineUnity 6, rebuilt from Unreal 1.5 assetsLead developerImpact RealityCo-developersFlat2VR Studios, Team BeefIP and creative leadRunning With ScissorsKickstarter goal$250,000Kickstarter raised$680,913 and climbingBackers6,144Original release2003PlayStation historyFirst Postal game on a PlayStation consoleWhat Was Announced<\/p>\n<p>The game&#8217;s open-world, random-violence nature was at the heart of the controversy.

It&#8217;s apparent, the folks at Impact Reality realize this as much as anyone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At its heart, &#8220;Postal 2 Redux is a sandbox in the truest sense: players decide how each day unfolds, playing their way from mild-mannered to mayhem, in a living, reactive world where no two playthroughs are ever the same, said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gematsu.com\/2026\/08\/postal-2-redux-launches-in-spring-2027-for-ps5-ps-vr2-ps4-pc-and-quest-later-for-additional-platforms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.gematsu.com\/2026\/08\/postal-2-redux-launches-in-spring-2027-for-ps5-ps-vr2-ps4-pc-and-quest-later-for-additional-platforms\" aria-label=\"Impact Reality CEO and co-founder Jasmine Uniza\">Impact Reality CEO and co-founder Jasmine Uniza<\/a>. &#8220;Returning alongside the Postal Dude is Champ, the series&#8217; beloved canine companion and a longtime fan favorite, now upgraded with new ways to interact: pet him, bring him along, weaponize him, and more.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Do people want Postal 2 Redux The Founder&#8217;s Edition?
