Ready Player One Is Getting A Battle Royale Called "Open"
A "multi-biome, multi-IP, multi-mode battle royale experience" based on the world of Ready Player One called "Open" has been announced with a short teaser trailer.
Although it might seem games like Fortnite and PUBG have cornered the Battle Royale market and made it virtually impossible in recent years for other competitors to get in on the action, that hasn't stopped other developers from getting in on the action. We've seen plenty of attempts over the years from recognisable IP, and a surprising new challenger that aims to collect as much IP as possible has entered the arena - Ready Player One.
That's right, in one of the most surprising reveals I've seen in some time (that makes some sense the more you think about it) a multi-IP and multi-mode battle royale set in the Ready Player One universe called "Open" has just been revealed to be in development from publisher Readyverse Studios and developer Walker Labs.
Described as an "AAA quality metaverse experience interoperable with AAA IP that leverages web3 technology", Open aims to be a "hero experience" set in the "Readyverse" that acts as a way of discovering "metaverse games and experiences". Beyond being a battle royale, the mention of metaverse experiences and games certainly calls to mind what Fortnite has been doing over its last few seasons.
The short teaser announcing the game shows a warehouse that's similar to the ones in the film filled with recognisable objects, from an NES and PlayStation to a Delorean and Reebok shoes, which certainly makes it look like Ready Player One. After showing off those items, we see Wade Watts' avatar, Parzival, walking up to a CRT screen that says "Are you ready?" and sucks him in.
"With OPEN, our team of experienced game developers is passionately committed to bringing fan-favorite and original IP to life at highest fidelity. As avid fans ourselves of the IP entering OPEN, especially Ready Player One which came to define the open metaverse for mainstream consumers."
