29 years after the release of the original POSTAL game, the POSTAL DUDE is FINALLY getting his first comic book adventure!
The Kickstarter campaign for POSTAL's Comic Book has reached its initial goal. THIS IS HAPPENING and we can't wait for you to get your hands on a story written and illustrated by POSTAL fans who understand and respect the series.
But let's not stop there, there are many interesting stretch goals in the horizon and we must reach them! Well, we say we MUST, because let's be honest here, we'd love to see a BRAND NEW POSTAL GAME and we can only get there with your help.
Have a look at the stretch goals...
With the Comic book releasing, POSTAL fans have a lot of things to look forward to. Flesh & Wire is in active development, POSTAL 2 VR and POSTAL 2 Redux are in the good hands of Flat2VR and Team Beef, co-op and bug fixes are coming to POSTAL 4. And that's not all! there are plenty of other things we are yet to announce.

The Postal series is essentially the videogame equivalent of Uwe Boll's filmography*. They're notoriously awful—the last one we reviewed was Postal 3 in 2012, which earned a dismal 21%—and they keep happening for some reason. A new addition to the lineup was announced on December 3, in fact, called Postal: Bullet Heaven. And then approximately 24 hours later, everything went very sideways... Read more.

Like most sensible people, I long ago wrote off the Postal series as an idea that started terribly, enjoyed some fleeting glory in the same wave of cultural disaffection that brought us Limp Bizkit and the Attitude Era, and has spent the decades since thrashing around in search of relevance. Yet several times over the last few years, I've heard furtive whispers from various corners of the internet that there is one Postal game which is actually, genuinely good... Read more.

Postal developer Running With Scissors, renowned for creating some of the most profane, edgy, and controversial FPS games on PC, says that Denuvo and download rights management (DRM) technology serves as a "punishment" to gaming consumers. Many of 2023's biggest games including Street Fighter 6, Star Wars Jedi Survivor, and Dead Space Remake use Denuvo, while other unreleased games, like Mortal Kombat 1, Payday 3, and Total War Pharaoh also list DRM technology on their Steam pages. The developer of Postal says that DRM is "intrusive" and that the gaming industry "deserves a better future."

Postal 3 developer (but not really) Running With Scissors is celebrating the death of the controversy-mired action game, after a surprise Steam delisting hit it thanks to DRM issues. This bombastic farewell follows Postal 3's initial launch over a decade ago in 2011, as the project has been in the public eye ever since thanks to the state of its launch and complicated story of development.

Hyperstrange friends, RWS fam!
Hyperstrange-developed POSTAL: Brain Damaged, the action-packed DOOM Eternal-like spin-off of the POSTAL series is finally here, and if you own any of the eligible RWS or Hyperstrange titles, or some other staple throwback-shooters like DUSK, Hedon, or Nightmare Reaper, you can get PBD with an additional discount added on top of -20% release discount via one of the special bundle deals.
Plus, we're happy to report it really SLAPS! With more than 1100 reviews it currently enjoys an 'Overwhelmingly Positive' rating, with more than 95% players recommending the game.
Yes, Hyperstrange really pulled this one off. The game is good and the release has been relatively bug-free despite the 2-week delay made explicitly to implement some bugs and stay on-brand. But it wouldn't be a POSTAL release if something haven't gone wrong. Many of you were waiting for the release of the POSTAL: Brain Damaged Official Soundtrack. The wait is finally over! The OST has arrived, and you can get it separately or bundled with the official Art Book in the POSTAL: Brain Damaged - Connoisseur Edition.
The Hyperstrange Dev team is very grateful for the amazing reception of PBD. This gives them even more motivation to improve and expand the game post-release. Here's what to expect soon:
Post-release fix - an update taking care of the known issues reported by the players, that slipped into the full release (ETA: One week)
Balancing update - some players, as well as some internet micro-celebrities, have brought to our attention that the game offers way to much ammo if you explore the levels 'Quake-style', and far too little if you prefer to push on 'Doom Eternal-style'. The update will take care of that issue, allowing everyone to enjoy the game in their preferred playstyle. The update will also reconfigure some of the enemy positioning, spawns, and behavior. (ETA: One month)
New playmodes - With that taken care of, the dev team will proceed to expanding the game itself, introducing an oft-requested horde mode, as well as another playmode offering a new, and replayable PBD experience. (ETA: This summer)
More to be announced!
Hyperstrange and RWS are both extremely pleased with the reception of POSTAL: Brain Damaged. We're as excited as you are, to see what the future will bring to this explosive and twisted spin-off.

Crazed gunmen out for your blood await you around every corner. The only choice is clear: Get them before they get you. Fight back with a devastating arsenal as you make your way through a violence-stricken town.

POSTAL: Brain Damaged, the retro-styled FPS spin-off from Running With Scissors’ outrageous series enjoyed by millions, will deliver crude and immature humor, ridiculous weapons, and old school challenge to PC and consoles in 2021. Developed by Hyperstrange (developers of ELDERBORN) and CreativeForge Games to be published by Running With Scissors, POSTAL: Brain Damaged gives a tantalizing taste of the madness to come in its debut trailer, revealed today at Realms Deep 2020.
One too many hits to the head (and hits off the pipe) has everyone’s favorite bathrobed anti-hero, The POSTAL Dude, reeling from brain damage. When he closes his eyes in a drunken, drugged-up stupor, he awakens in a psychedelic, grotesque, utterly twisted dream world. Asylum patients with dildo arms charge ravenously. Serial killer grandmas wield walkers in cut-throat combat. Beware probe-happy aliens reaching for the backside of The POSTAL Dude’s bathrobe.
Shoot through stages of escalating insanity, beating back the nightmares with bullets and urine. Strafe, dash, slide, and bunny hop through massive retro-styled stages, including a grungy asylum, comic convention, Area 69, and more. Each of The POSTAL Dude’s twisted fantasies offers new challenges and a characteristic flow — from corridor shooting through secret passages to blowing up large, open spaces with perfect twitch reflexes — but the hardcore spirit of badass ‘90s shooters bleeds from every orifice.
With a heaping arsenal of nostalgic, bombastic weaponry, POSTAL: Brain Damaged delivers a pure boomer shooter experience. Eviscerate enemies with the double-barreled shotgun, remove flat-earther heads from afar with the devastating railgun, and attach the cat silencer to blast aliens and military zombies with feline style.
POSTAL: Brain Damaged boasts the series’ beloved over-the-top parody and satire of pop culture, politics, and modern society. Escape from reality and unwind while beating back hippies, fleeing from flying fluids, and wiping out enemies to your heart’s content while pixelated blood spurts forth and a thrashing old school soundtrack thumps with every gun blast.
“They just don’t make badass shooters like they used to,” said Vince Desi, founder of Running With Scissors. "Brain Damaged takes the torch from all the pretenders while excreting everything fans want to see from the series that once birthed “The Worst Game Ever™”. The Dude is back and dirtier than ever!”
POSTAL: Brain Damaged launches for PC and consoles in 2021. For more details in the days to come, check out the official website and follow Running With Scissors on Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and Discord.

Hey guys,
We present to you POSTAL 4: No Regerts, now in Early Access!
We recommend that you check out the Store page and read the ‘What the developers have to say’ post to get an idea of where we are with it so far, and what we have planned!
You are joining us right in the thick of things and will get an insight into our development process, where we pretend like we know what we’re doing! By buying into this, you are helping us make POSTAL 4 all it can be by contributing financially and also providing us with your feedback.

Ah, Christmas… I hope you will excuse the rushed nature of this little holiday message, as I am currently at a bus station, waiting for a bus to visit my relatives. I could have just wrote “Merry Christmas, everyone!” and left it at that, but I had some more sincere thoughts on the mind that I wanted to share.
It would be easy to just wish everyone a merry Christmas, and to say that we hope your holidays are filled with nothing but joy and love, but we know it doesn’t always work out that way. While some are finding it easy to cozy up with loved ones, with a big merry feast, others are alone and dealing with hardships. Christmas itself doesn’t magically make everything better for everyone, everywhere. A lot of us still end up having to deal with unfortunate circumstances. Maybe you find yourself alone this year. Maybe you are forced to work, or otherwise spend the evening away from your loved ones. Maybe some recent tragedy has left a painful scar. We know all too well how rough life can treat you, when you're supposed to be given some reprieve, at least once a year.
But ultimately we cannot expect circumstances to carve our happiness for us, can we? Happiness is not something that just happens; it is hard-fought and earned through striving for it, in spite all the gut-punches that life and circumstance may throw our way. It is self-made, through a stubborn desire to not allow things beyond our control to dictate how we should feel and how we should spend our days. We are the masters of our own fate, and we make our own joy when there is none to be found. That is the resilience of the human spirit.
So from the bottom of our hearts, to all our fans, friends, family and loved ones, to all the freaks, NEETs, creeps, loners and weirdos out there, we wish a very Merry Christmas and we sincerely hope that all of you manage to find the will and stubbornness to find some joy and happiness tonight!

As you may have noticed in the patch notes for the last big 20th Anniversary Update, one of the features that we've brought back in is the original Santa Patch content. This was a free patch that we released on our website back in 1997 as a holiday gift for our fans, which we have now brought back into the Steam version of the game. It activates automatically from now, until December 31st.
What the patch does is replace the 3D models of the Grenadier enemies to ones of Santa Claus himself, the grenade and molotov models to those of Christmas presents and the ostriches to reindeer. It also replaces some of the enemy voice clips to new ones of Santa Claus chastising The Postal Dude for his naughty behavior.
We hope this retro holiday addition brings some joy to your holiday season, and that your violent video game rampage feels appropriately festive!

On this day, 20 years ago, the original POSTAL was first unleashed to the unsuspecting world at large, causing widespread reports of fun and entertainment across the globe! To celebrate this chronological milestone, we recruited a team of volunteer developers to lend a hand in updating the game, after we made its source code public at the start of this year.
Some of the update is old content and features that we've restored, while others are brand new additions made to improve the game. Some of the big bulletpoints include improved mouse controls, the previously Japan-exclusive levels from Super POSTAL, Japanese audio, LAN multiplayer modes, and much more!
List of changes:
Added new mouse aim controls (with option to toggle 'classic mouse')
Added levels 'Tokyo' and 'Osaka', from Japan-exclusive release
Added option for Japanese audio, from Japan-exclusive release
Restored 'Santa Patch' content (activates around Christmas time)
Restored Multiplayer modes (only works over LAN)
Restored 'Coat Color' option
Added slider for changing frequency of NPC 'pain' audio
Added Level Select menu
Restored Challenge Mode selection
Added new Campaign options
Restored 'Demo' mode
Improved presentation of ending cutscene
Fixed 'Crosshair' toggle option
Added annual mystery surprise
Lots of 'under-the-hood' changes and improvements
And this isn't all. Among other planned features, our team is already making great strides in creating tools for the creation of custom levels for the game, which we will be including in future updates.
We hope you all appreciate the work that our fine volunteer team has done so far, and that you all look forward to the good work that they continue putting out!
