Postal III is a third-person shooter video game developed by Trashmasters and Running with Scissors, and published by Akella. It was released for Microsoft Windows in December 2011. Postal III is the third game in the Postal series, being the sequel to Postal 2, telling the story of The Postal Dude's adventures in a town named Catharsis, following directly from the ending of the second game. Ports for OS X, Linux, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 were announced, but were ultimately canceled. Initially, Postal III was a direct continuation of the game Postal 2, however, due to the refusal to transfer the rights to the game back and negative reviews from critics and players, it is now positioned by the creators only as a spin-off of the series. This fact is also confirmed in the addition to the second part, called Postal 2: Paradise Lost, released in April 2015 as an official continuation of the second game.
Despite the critical failure, the game was financially successful, and brought considerable income to Akella. Numerous patches were released for the game, but they could not completely fix everything, and in some places even hurt.
The fourth installment in the series, Postal 4: No Regerts, was announced in 2019 and released into early access the same year, with an official release on April 20, 2022. The game also received negative reviews.
