Postal 2 Redux Launches in Spring 2027 on PS5, PS4, PC and VR

Q: What exactly happens when players weaponize their loyal dog in a fully immersive VR sandbox?

Right now, no one outside the developers can say exactly what “weaponize” means in VR, because Running With Scissors and Impact Reality have not publicly detailed the mechanic beyond that phrase. What is confirmed is that Champ returns in Postal 2 Redux with expanded interactions: players can pet him, bring him along, and use him in new “unconventional” ways. One secondary report says Champ can bite passersby on command, which suggests the feature may involve directing the dog to attack or harass NPCs rather than simply having him function as a passive companion. In VR, that likely becomes more tactile and immediate because the remake is being built for PS VR2 and PC VR, with upgraded physics, smarter NPC reactions, and a more reactive sandbox. That means any “weaponized” use of Champ would probably feel more immersive through gesture-based interaction, close-range commands, and visible NPC responses in the environment. Still, the available information stops short of confirming exact actions, controls, or limits. The safest reading is that players will be able to use Champ as part of Postal 2’s trademark chaos, and VR will make those interactions more direct and physical, but the developers have not yet shown precisely how that works in moment-to-moment play.

Spring 2027 is the release window for Postal 2 Redux, which is headed to PS5, PS4 and PC with PS VR2 and PC VR support.
Impact Reality and Running With Scissors said the remake will keep the original's open-ended structure, letting players either complete daily tasks peacefully or cause chaos.
Every gameplay system is being updated with modern technology, while the team says it is preserving the original vision rather than redesigning the game from scratch.
Champ, Postal Dude's dog, also returns with expanded interactions, including petting, accompanying exploration and other new uses.
