The upcoming Ready or Not console versions will feature some content changes compared to the original game, as announced by Void Interactive. The game’s developer highlighted these adjustments for transparency, noting they are not significant.
**Key Points: **
- December 17 will be the fourth anniversary of Ready or Not’s early access launch. The game received a full release two years later, in December 2023.
- Void Interactive has focused some resources on developing console ports, targeting a July 15 release for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
In preparations for the console launch, the studio revealed that the console versions of Ready or Not will differ from the PC version. They are implementing certain changes to ensure compliance with certification requirements from Sony and Microsoft. These include:
- Reduction of nudity and torture representations.
- Modifying in-game depictions of child mistreatment.
A Void Interactive representative reassured players that these revisions are minimal. ‘There is no reason [for fans] to be alarmed,’ they stated. The developer aims to retain the original tone of the game. In some instances, censorship imposed by platform partners was termed as absolutely necessary.
Additional Changes Affecting All Platforms: Various content adjustments for console certification may also apply to the PC version, targeting specifics around graphic content. Simple edits—like texture adjustments to remove nudity—can be managed for the console, while more complex changes may need to apply universally.
Confirmed Content Changes:
- Dismemberment remains, but occurs only for living enemies.
- Torture visuals have been toned down, and nudity is depicted less explicitly.
- Violent animations involving children have been softened.
