Whiptail Interactive and developer Running With Scissors have today confirmed that Postal 2 will be the first game in history to be labeled as containing "Intense Violence." Rated M by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board, Postal 2 will also carry labels to indicate that it contains mature humor, adult language, use of drugs, and blood and gore.

In Europe, Postal 2 has been given an 18 certificate by the British Board of Film Classification and an 18+ Pan-European Game Indicator rating in all countries covered by the Interactive Software Federation of Europe.

Postal 2 is scheduled for release in North America and Europe on April 14. For more information on Postal 2, check out our previous coverage of the game.
