VOID Interactive’s tactical co-op shooter, Ready or Not, has officially stepped out of Early Access, introducing new features and game modes that redefine the tactical shooter genre. After significant updates and development, this much-awaited launch marks a pivotal moment for the game and its community.
The 1.0 update of Ready or Not brings an enhanced SWAT AI, offering a more challenging and realistic gameplay experience. For those who prefer a solo experience, the single-player Commander mode adds a new layer of strategy and engagement. Additionally, players can embark on 18 diverse missions in single-player mode or co-op multiplayer with up to five players. This flexibility caters to many players, from lone wolves to those who thrive in teamwork.
Ready or Not has navigated its fair share of controversies during its Early Access phase. Notably, in 2022, the game faced a brief removal from Steam following a content update that included a nightclub level. Initially speculated to be related to a real-world event, it was later clarified that the removal was due to a trademark issue with the new map. Such challenges have been part of the game’s journey but haven’t deterred the developers or the community’s enthusiasm.
Ready or Not is currently available on PC, with no current announcements regarding a console release. This focus on PC gaming could imply a more profound optimization and enhancement of the game for PC platforms, ensuring a high-quality experience for its primary audience.
