Summary

• Postal 2 VR was announced for modern VR platforms with revamped gameplay.
• The game retains its original controversial content for a virtual reality experience.
• New mechanisms include gestures, NPC reactions, and an overhauled inventory system.

Postal 2 VR aims to launch on platforms like PS VR2, Meta Quest 2 & 3, and Steam VR but lacks a confirmed release date. Originally released in the early 2000s, the initial game was met with significant backlash due to its violent content.

The Postal series first debuted in 1997 as a darkly humorous third-person shooter, continuing with various entries until Postal: Brain Damaged in 2022. Of all its titles, Postal 2, a cult classic released in 2003, garnered notorious criticism for its violent gameplay and portrayal of stereotypes. Now, it is being adapted for virtual reality headsets, promising to immerse players in the world of Paradise, Arizona.

Developers from Beef Studios, Running with Scissors, and Flat2VR announced, “The game is entirely rebuilt for VR with features like manual reloading and physics-based melee combat. It’s described as a chaotic and engaging VR playground.” For longtime fans of the franchise, this is a significant revival, especially following the game’s twentieth-anniversary update in 2023, showing commitment from its developers.
