Fellow Kings, fellow players,

You absolutely blew us away: In just a day since launch, The King is Watching’s player base is growing and growing, every hour more! That’s honestly beyond anything our small team expected, and we’re incredibly grateful for your support, your feedback, and your passion for the game.

Thanks to this amazing launch, one thing is certain: we’re not done. We're already planning new content, updates, and improvements, with a free content update definitely in the works.

We heard you: the ability to save mid-run is your top request, and it’s something we’re actively working on. Just like during the demo, our small team is reading every comment, review, and message. Your feedback shapes the game more than you know and your feedback reviews pushes us to keep building and improving. So whether it’s a feature suggestion, a favorite unit you want buffed (we’ve seen the love for the Bumblebees hahaha), or just thoughts on your latest run, we want to hear it!

Drop a comment below, leave a feedback in the Discussion section or join us over on Discord to share your thoughts.

Next week, we’ll get in more details on what’s coming next for The King is Watching. We took a few moments off to write you this, but now we got to go back to work! Again, a heartfelt thank you from all of us!

// Legovic,
Head of the Hypnohead Studio

• Fixed an issue where the screenshot map markers would not be saved properly.

We've refined several aspects of the system to deliver a more intense, fluid, and realistic experience:

• Improved physics when eliminating zombies: ragdolls are now activated for more natural deaths.

• Enemies fall with more force when defeated, depending on the intensity of the final blow.

• New visual effects when hitting skeletons and casting fire spells.

• Enemy projectiles now feature more spectacular and clearer visual effects during combat.

• Adjusted haptic feedback on swords and shields when attacking, blocking, or deflecting projectiles.

• Enhanced hit detection: collisions with enemies are now more accurate and satisfying.

• The fearsome spectral spiders in Level 4 are now more aggressive, making the level a real challenge.

• The main menu camera has been slightly zoomed in to improve text readability.

Thank you for playing! We're continuing to improve Tales of Sintra with every update.

Hello, POSTAL fans!

You wouldn’t stop asking, so we stopped dodging Molotovs and wrote it all down. POSTAL 2 Redux is real, it’s running in Unity, and yes—your unhinged demands absolutely helped make this mess happen. Below is the full FAQ: what Redux actually is, why we’re doing it this way, how VR fits, exactly when you’ll be “hosing down” Paradise in higher fidelity, and what fresh hell unlocks when our pre‑launch follower numbers spike.

Before you scroll: hit “Notify me” on the Kickstarter, wishlist on Steam, and pile into Discord. Every new warm body pushes us closer to stretch goals that should probably be illegal.

The Kickstarter Pre-launch is now live. Give it a follow in order to unlock new rewards. We are closing in to our first goal, giving Mike J some new moves and an updated look, but we'll need your support to get Steamworks Support and a super-fun pigeon mission into the game. More details below.

Spread the word about POSTAL 2 Redux before the Kickstarter campaign opens in order to unlock exclusive rewards!

It's said there are two certainties in life. One is taxes and the other is that Mike J will bust a move when you piss on him. No Redux of POSTAL 2 would be complete without teaching him some new moves. And what better way to show them off but with hair and a beard the latest graphical technology 2025 has to offer. Get it all wet!

2003 Trenchcoat-chique is always in fashion. But sometimes the dude wants to kick back in his favourite dressing gown. Unlockable POSTAL 4 outfit is yours for the mere price of following the campaign.

We often hear "you suck, I could do better". After we've given Mom her sleeping pills we have to admit she had a point. Hitting this goal adds Steamworks support into Redux. Dream my beautiful modders!

The Pigeons Will Pay.  You asked. You begged. Many a shrine made of bird bones was pissed on. Now we're finally bringing the Super-Fun Pigeon Hunter Mission to life for real this time. Vince screamed at the accountants, so we got new accountants. Deaf accountants. Nothing can stop this happening other than not hitting this follower goal.

POSTAL 2 Redux is being made (Team Beef) and published (Impact Inked) externally, so it has no effect on Running With Scissors’ internal projects. 

We started this journey because we’re fans. Hardcore POSTAL fans. POSTAL 2 has a place in our hearts (and hard drives), and we believe it deserves a place on every modern console too. This isn’t simply a port to modern consoles. It’s preservation with purpose. We're keeping everything you love intact. Wherever we enhance or improve, we do so with the original in mind. With Running With Scissors by our side, one thing’s certain: it’s still POSTAL. It’s still the Dude.

We’re aiming for as many languages as possible. There are some wrinkles to iron out with older dubs, and possibilities for new ones—more news to follow.

We’re aware of issues in Germany, New Zealand, and a few other regions. We have plans to give Redux the best chance everywhere, but final approval rests with regional authorities. We cannot guarantee that POSTAL 2 VR and POSTAL 2 Redux will ultimately be available everywhere, but we can guarantee that we will fight to give players worldwide access to the game.

Potential stretch-goal territory, but doesn’t feel like POSTAL if you can’t cross streams with your friends. 

Redux moves the game into Unity. We start with original assets and logic, then upgrade, replace, and add brand-new content that’s not present in the original game. Fear not. It’s still POSTAL 2… just Reduxed. 

Rick Hunter may have some new lines.

Targeting 2026. Exact timing depends on development and stretch-goal scope.

If we don’t have to change it, we won’t. Platform holders may request tweaks, but PC will remain uncensored. We’re confident we can reach every major storefront with minimal edits.

Our aim is to provide POSTAL 2 Redux on every possible platform. For more details, follow the Kickstarter! ;)

To clarify, this Kickstarter funds a single product: POSTAL 2 Redux. However, both Redux and the VR version will share a common core, meaning improvements will benefit both flat-screen and VR simultaneously. If you're only interested in the VR version, note that any stretch goals achieved through this campaign will also apply to it. That said, unlike POSTAL 2 Redux, the release of POSTAL 2 VR is not contingent on the success of this Kickstarter.

Building them in tandem leads to smarter development: shared gameplay improvements, more efficient and wider testing, and better polish across the board.  We're also looking into the most cost-effective way for backers to own both, if they choose to. We’ll share more information as we get closer to launch.

No.

Unity is the ideal engine for a multi-platform remaster because it offers powerful cross-platform support, letting us target PC, consoles, and even mobile from a single code-base. Its customizable art pipelines and shader systems allow us to faithfully recreate the original game’s look or enhance it with modern touches, while giving artists direct control over visual fidelity. With flexible tooling, fast iteration, and support for both legacy-style visuals and modern rendering features, Unity strikes the perfect balance between preservation and progress.

Click “Follow” on the Kickstarter pre-launch page to get every update the moment it drops this summer.

This will scale with Kickstarter performance and stretch goals. Stay tuned.

If history is any indicator, nothing can stop Mike J from busting a move whilst taking a golden shower! Maybe he’s learned some new moves. Only time will tell. 

We love modding. Some members of the development teams started their professional careers as modders (as did RWS staff). More information will be shared soon, but stretch goals could bring official mod support to both PC and consoles!

POSTAL 2 Redux is a huge joint effort between Running With Scissors, Team Beef, and Impact Inked, so owning a copy of the original game does not get you a free copy. We’re pouring every ounce of love (and bodily fluid) we have into POSTAL 2 Redux to make sure it's as beloved as the original and worth every penny.

That’s it. You’ve got the info—go weaponize it. We’ll see you when the sirens start.

Today we're taking a look at the upcoming Hamburg DLC for The Bus! 🚌

It's still in development, but we're already checking out the repaints – and of course, we're taking them out for a spin. 🚦🗺️

Hop on board!

We just released a minor update to address a few in-game issues.

• Fix for the icon pointer arrows being offset on consoles.

• Fix for "Destroy the Evidence" MK-Challenge end music.

• Fix for a crash with CPUs that don't support SSE3 instructions.

• Fix for an infinite loading screen for players in low-bandwidth conditions with large profiles.

We appreciate everyone who’s taken the time to report issues to us. If you run into any in-game problems, don’t hesitate to join our Official 18+ Outlast Discord Server and open a support ticket to get in touch with our team directly.

See you all in the Sleep Room soon...
