A
tweet
from a couple of days ago from VOID Interactive announces that Team17 is no
longer the publisher on
Ready or Not, an upcoming tactics game that will
put the player in charge of a SWAT team. This includes no explanation, saying:
"VOID Interactive and Team17 have mutually agreed that Team17 will no longer
publish Ready or Not. We are confident that this is the right path for the
future of Ready or Not, and we thank Team17 for their partnership and wish them
great success with their spectrum of games!"
NME may have filled in that blank, noting the split was announced very
shortly after a
Reddit comment from the developer saying "You better believe it’s gonna" in
response to a question about whether the game will "have a school shooting
mission in the campaign" (thanks
Kotaku). A number of comments in the thread suggest it may be risky to
tackle such a sensitive topic, though it hasn't been directly confirmed that the
comment directly caused the break with the publisher.
