Postal 4: No Regerts^[a] is a first-person shooter video game developed by Running with Scissors, who were also responsible for the first two games in the Postal series, Postal and Postal 2. It was released on October 14, 2019, for Microsoft Windows through Steam's Early Access program, a decision which was made to acquire public funding for the project and to involve the Postal community in the game's development process. Running with Scissors have described the game as the "true sequel" to Postal 2, contrasting it with Postal 2's unsuccessful 2011 sequel Postal III, which was strongly panned by critics and players, as well as being "disowned" by Running with Scissors. As of 2019, the game is in the alpha stage of its development, and most of its planned features have yet to be implemented.^[2]

Synopsis[]

Set several years after the events of Postal 2's second expansion, Paradise Lost, the Postal Dude (now voiced by Jon St. John) and his pitbull terrier, Champ, emigrate to the fictional town of Edensin, Arizona. On the way there, the Dude's car is stolen, forcing him to take on several jobs to make ends meet in the unfamiliar town, with the end goal of getting his car back.

Postal 4 borrows many of its gameplay features from its predecessor, Postal 2. The game is centered around different "errands" that The Postal Dude must complete each day, which include being a prison guard, a sewer worker, and an animal catcher on Monday, a variety of tasks for a gang from "South of the Borderland" on Tuesday, such as border smuggling and turf tagging, working for the mayor of Edensin on Wednesday, including a successor to the petition errand from Postal 2, working for the local mafia on Thursday, with tasks including testing prototypes for video games and rigging an election, and working for the enigmatic kingpin controlling Edensin on Friday, including raiding an ancient temple, dealing with a mercenary militia at the local mall, and plugging a dam before a doomsday cult can use it to contaminate the town's water supply. It also returns the series to a first-person perspective, which was eschewed by Postal III in favor of third-person. Planned gameplay elements include additional weapons, optional "side errands", different outfits for the Dude, and cooperative multiplayer.
