VOID Interactive Files Trademark For A Narrative “Ready or Not” Spin-Off
VOID Interactive has filed a trademark application for “WARRANTS: A READY OR NOT STORY,” signaling the developer’s intent to expand its successful Ready or Not franchise into narrative-driven territory. The trademark was filed on September 28, 2026, with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO).
The filing name itself strongly suggests the new project will be a story-focused experience, departing from the tactical-focused gameplay of the original Ready or Not—an intense, realistic SWAT simulator that has garnered significant critical acclaim and player engagement. By titling the spinoff as “A Ready or Not Story,” VOID Interactive appears to be positioning it as a narrative-driven companion to the franchise rather than another tactical simulation.
While trademark filings don’t always reveal complete details about a project’s nature, the nomenclature here provides a clear indication of direction. The addition of the word “WARRANTS” in the title may hint at thematic elements related to law enforcement and search warrants, maintaining thematic continuity with the Ready or Not universe while exploring different gameplay or storytelling approaches.
This trademark represents VOID Interactive’s strategic decision to leverage its successful IP beyond its core audience of tactical shooter enthusiasts. The move suggests the studio is confident in the Ready or Not brand’s wider appeal and potential to support different genres and gameplay styles.
