At the core of Ready Or Not, Void Interactive has aimed to develop an intense, brutal yet fun tactical first-person shooter. Commanding a squad of A.I teammates, teaming up with your friends in co-op or playing competitive multiplayer modes, Ready or Not will task the player to confront cruel situations set in a twisted facsimile of the United States West Coast Region.

Ready Or Not presents complex S.W.A.T situations, that the player can approach in a variety of ways. Be it an aggressive assault, all guns blazing, or a quite flanking maneuver to coerce suspects without any fatalities. RoN (Ready or Not) leaves the discussion making to the players, allowing unique situations to unfold for each playthrough and each playing style.

Immersing the players into the world of S.W.A.T means that brutal realities will be shown. The destruction of normally peaceful areas around the city comes with a great cost. Innocent lives are caught in the crossfire, and VOID interactive has set out to represent this factor of life. Common areas such as gas stations and clubs but also schools and city streets are areas for the players to restore order to chaos and bring peace to balance.

VOID Interactive announced that Ready or Not will receive its second DLC, Dark Waters, on December 10, 2024.

At launch of Ready or Not: Dark Waters features:

• 3 single-player or online cooperative missions with up to five players
• The addition of 5 new weapons that will be available for all players independent of DLC ownership
• Support Helicopter associated with each Dark Waters DLC mission for reconnaissance
• 2 customization cosmetic sets associated with the DarkWaters DLC

Ready or Not: Dark Waters sets the challenge of bringing order to chaos within amphibious operations whilst also navigating turbulent weather/environmental conditions on the open sea. Offshore locations offer little comfort in the confined spaces within boats, or the turbulent exposure provided by Offshore Oilrigs.

Los Sueños Police Department Official Statement ―October 27th, 10:12am PDT

At approx. 0800 hours this morning a critical situation occurred on offshore oil rig “HeavyWell A-101" was responded to via tactical response by LSPD SWAT. The “United Peoples Front,” designated by the US Government as a terror group, claimed responsibility for this hostage incident. The situation is still ongoing, further investigation and situation reports are under the jurisdiction of FISA.

The events on the offshore oil rig comes shortly after the failed assassination attempt of newly elected governor Whitfield. The LSPD is still working closely with the Highway Patrol, Protective Services, and Federal Officials to ensure Governor Whitfield's safety following the failed assassination attempt during a political event at LSPD HQ last month.

LSPD intel which helped dictate this policy change continues to indicate an abnormally high risk of criminal activity off the immediate coast of Los Sueños, emboldened by the remoteness of offshore environments. Three of the new areas we are focusing our maritime efforts on are: natural resource production, island operations, and watercraft.

New LSPD maritime capabilities, in cooperation with the Los Sueños C.O.A.S.T. (California Offshore Air and Sea Team), facilitated a rapid response to the hostage incident on HeavyWell A-101. A UH-60 helicopter is now allocated for rapid response and reconnaissance with our SWAT teams. Separate from exclusive maritime V.B.S.S. and ATLAS equipment, there are additions to the general SWAT armory: the MK17, GA51, M14S-16, MP5SD6, and G3 rifles are intended to help address the need for all SWAT units to handle increasingly dangerous threats at distance.

The V.B.S.S (Visit, Board, Search, and Seizure) exclusive uniform gear is requisitioned from Naval Special Operations unit surplus: Eli-Tec Helmet, Phoenix Flight Suit, TP-1E Carrier, Pheonix Gloves, and Panama Boots.

The uniform for the ATLAS Association, supplied to the LSPD via a tactical support network: Sallet T5X Helmet, Phantasm LS-911 Carrier, ATLAS PRO Top, OxFort Pilot Hard Knuckles, ATLAS PRO Pants, Salmon 4D GTX Boots.

Great care has been placed into the player’s control, with fluid leaning systems and incremental walking speeds, PC gamers will be able to feel the benefits of the consoles analogue sticks, but still have the sharpness of the mouse, resulting in fierce and adrenaline pumping firefights. The care and detail that has gone into the control also will give the players a sense of stealth control, allowing them to appropriately maneuver into a correct position to execute their plans. For example, a player may want to quietly and slowly walk to a door to use a mirrorgun (camera on a stick) to observe the room beyond the door.

Another important part of the player's control is related to doors. The development team at VOID has placed great detail into how a player may interact with a door. While a door can do a simple task of being opened and closed, there are many ways to approach them when the situation calls for it. In a dramatic rush, one may kick the door open with brutal strength or blow it up. On the other hand, when approaching with complete silence, one may choose to lockpick open a door, and incrementally open it to stealthfully observe the content of the room.

Void Interactive’s development team knew that immersion, even of simple things like walking and opening doors can be expanded to fulfil the players experience to a new level, offering great amounts of control, still with a simple and easy to use feel for all players of any skill level.

Key Features:

• Tactical Teamwork: Command a squad of operatives and plan how to approach each situation before breaching and clearing
• More than just guns: Riot shields, mirror guns, smoke grenades, and more can be utilised to prevent or assist with a firefight
• Civilian safety: The lives of civilians are on the line, and each shot will need to be carefully considered to reduce collateral damage
• Realism at its core: From bullet penetration to team communication, Ready or Not is built around realistic non-military combat situations
• Customisation and equipment: Each loadout can be tailored by players, and will dramatically influence chances of success, including guns, attachments, shields, and surveillance tools.

Ready or Not is available for PC (Steam) at $49.99/€49.99/£44.99.
