Ready Player One was a great hit with the movie adaptation, but the book was a worldwide bestseller that still holds up. Ernest Cline wrote it, and a sequel to the book has already been launched, which will also be adapted for film.
The author of Ready Player One will materialize the idea of the book in a metaverse experience called Open. This new project has the support of many brands and has already been developed with Unreal Engine 5 for PC and the current generation of platforms.
Open Will Finally be the Definitive Ready Player One Experience that the Book Describes Open, the new project from the creator of Ready Player One
Ready Player One was a great deal when it was released back in 2018, with more than $600 million in the box office. There is even a new book that continues the journey of the protagonist after winning the rights to the company.

Ready Player One‘s sequel, Ready Player Two, was officially confirmed yesterday by Steven Spielberg to be in development. The iconic filmmaker won’t be directing the movie as he takes on a producer role, and said that the team is currently in the “discovery phase,” which suggests the release is a ways off.
However, that’s not the only Ready Player One-related announcement we got in the past week. Publisher Readyverse Studios has announced a Aaa metaverse battle royale game that features the dystopian futuristic franchise.

In the 2011 novel Ready Player One and its 2018 feature film adaptation, citizens of a dystopian world escape to a virtual universe populated by avatars and filled with games, puzzles and settings featuring cultural references (including Pac-Man, Blade Runner and The Shining).
Now the author of the book, Ernest Cline, and the producer of the film, Dan Farah, are partnering with the AI and metaverse company Futureverse to bring Ready Player One to its own digital universe.
Futureverse, Cline and Farah are launching a new company called Readyverse Studios, which will seek to bring IP to the metaverse … and they’ve secured the rights from Warner Bros. to make Ready Player One the first piece of that puzzle.

In a huge labyrinthine ecosystem of labels, publishers, distributors, and royalty collectors, the idea of artists getting paid quickly may sound like a revolutionary concept. What if it wasn’t?
What if the music industry’s hundreds of thousands of artists — who are especially cash-strapped when they can’t tour, like right now in the Covid-19 pandemic — didn’t have to wait a cripplingly long time to get their royalties, but rather could receive streaming money instantaneously?
