Postal 3 to be released by RWS sometime in 2008 - Image 1 Postal 3 to be released by RWS sometime in 2008 - Image 2 Postal 3 to be released by RWS sometime in 2008 - Image 3 


Video game development studio Running With Scissors (RWS) has a reputation for making bloody and gore-marred titles. One good testament to this is the Postal franchise with the first game being released ten years ago. Speaking of which, RWS just released three new screenshots for Postal 3.

Quite curiously, these images are nothing more but teasers. The blood and gore that we mentioned above cannot be seen in these screenshots. Instead, what we have here are snapshots of the new title's locations. To be quite honest, we were kind of expecting to see what Mr. The Postal Dude Jr. looks like today.

For those not familiar with this series, Postal follows the exploits of Postal Dude after he was evicted from his house. The game itself is a 2D shooter, mainly isometric, but with some top-down levels. Backgrounds are hand painted and the game also borrows some characteristics from the FPS genre.

But just the same, it's good to know that development for Postal 3 is moving along. RWS said that the game will be released some time in 2008 on platforms Xbox 360, Games for Windows (PC), and Mac OS.

Postal Boxart - Image 1It's been quite a while since Postal first hit game store shelves - ten long years, in fact. And game developer Running With Scissors is celebrating exactly that: a whole decade of blood and carnage and gas can-inspired pyromania courtesy of the Postal Dude himself.

A decade doesn't really seem much, of course. No gamer could easily forget a game where, as the Postal Dude, you were given free reign to destroy anything and everything in sight, with an array of weapons ranging from a grenade launcher to the fan-favorite gas can. But the developing company wants to let the fans know they appreciate the love and support they've received, and are still receiving.

"THANK YOU to all our fans, to gamers of all ages and genres, and to all those that wish we'd go away - RWS has no regrets," said Vince Desi, Running With Scissors CEO.  "Over the past ten years many a fan has walked in the shoes of the Postal Dude and, most importantly, enjoyed every step of the gameplay."

It's not easy to be the company behind the ultra-violent Postal, what with today's school tragedies involving guns and shooting sprees being blamed on videogames. But with a loyal fanbase which has sprouted its own community, top-ranked gaming mods and secondary franchises over the year (as well as an Uwe Boll movie on the way), it's also not hard to be excited about RWS' future ventures.

Need we also mention that RWS is already knee-deep in the development of the third game in the series, Postal 3, which will be barging into Xbox 360 and PC/Mac come 2008?

Time to fill up that gas can, Postal Dude.
