Postal III is a third-person shooter computer and video game developed by Running With Scissors. It is the third game in the Postal video game franchise, and is scheduled for release in North America in 2009 for Linux[1], Mac OS X[2], Windows and Xbox 360. A PlayStation 3 port was announced in later stages of development, which will probably be released shortly after the initial release.[3] The game was developed under the working title Postal 3: Catharsis[4] until October 18, 2006, when the finalized title was revealed to be Postal III.[5]

Postal III will continue and expand upon the sandbox-style design of its predecessor, Postal², as well as include motion captured performances by a wide array of celebrities, including film stars and Playboy Playmates.[6] It has also been stated that Uwe Boll, director of the Postal film, will appear in the game.[7]

In Postal III, The Postal Dude emigrates to Paradise's sister town of Catharsis.[8] Unlike its predecessor, the game will not be based on the Unreal engine but rather on the Source engine. Also, Postal III will return to the third-person shooter genre of the original game, rather than the first-person aspect of its predecessor Postal².
