«Sign this fucking petition!»: trashy shooter Postal 2 will appear in VR 22 years after release

Postal 2 — joins the VR scene, offering players a virtual reality experience of chaotic Paradise.

22 years after its release, Running with Scissors announced Postal 2 VR, which it worked on together with Beef Studios and Flat2VR Studios. At the time, Postal 2 was one of the most scandalous games. It was banned in many countries due to excessive violence and satire on modern society. Despite the problems, the game gained the status of a cult classic.

Now VR will face even more chaos, scandals, and emotions. For those who don’t know anything about this game, we’ll give you a hint — you can set fire to buildings, use a chainsaw, or pick up a cat as a gun silencer. At first glance, absolutely banal tasks, such as buying milk or getting an autograph, turn into chaos. For example, a library has entire shelves of books on how to make a bomb and terrorist manuals, and then an attack occurs («never» you can’t guess who). Or a seemingly ordinary mission to collect signatures is transformed by the atmosphere into the phrase: «Sign this fucking petition».

The developers promise a completely reimagined gameplay for VR. Therefore, here is how the VR version will be different:

• Manual interaction: each reloading of the weapon will be physically felt, and shooting will become even more chaotic
• A crazy arsenal of weapons: developers promise that weapons will look fun in VR
• Gestures and reactions of NPCs: now you can wave, give the middle finger or spit at passers-by, and they will react in real time
• Updated inventory: designed specifically for VR to make it easier to switch between subjects
• VR mini map: city navigation will be more intuitive + game compass
• Strange and unforgettable characters: it is not yet known whether new NPCs will appear or improve the behavior of existing ones

The creators say that players will have to navigate the chaos and interact with NPCs like never before. Therefore, the VR version has all the chances to become one of the most provocative VR games.

The game already has a page on Steam and you can add it to your wishlist. However, there is no official release date yet. Judging by the willingness of the developers to show the gameplay, we won’t have to wait long. The game will be released on PlayStation VR2, Steam VR and Meta Quest.

However, the developers of the cult absurd shooter did not always create projects that players liked Postal 4: No Regrets didn’t win the hearts of gamers, but on the contrary — it became the worst game 2022, according to Metacritic.
