Earlier this year, Readyverse Studios—established through a collaboration between blockchain tech company Futureverse and Ernest Cline, the creator behind the sci-fi sensation Ready Player One—revealed "The Readyverse." This innovative platform aims to offer immersive metaverse games and experiences. In partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), the studio is set to bring the beloved novel into the web3 metaverse.
Today, Readyverse Studios has unveiled its inaugural project, which will soon debut within The Readyverse—OPEN.
OPEN’s immersive multiverse will feature nostalgia-infused biomes with characters and cultural legends across iconic franchises. Challengers embark on game-show styled, multi-round collaborative and competitive game modes, but only one hero can emerge victorious.
Showcasing a variety of gaming disciplines with tactical positioning, sly movement, strategic shooting, and driving skills taking center stage. Collaborate with allies, strategize for advantages, and immerse yourself in intense gameplay sessions.
Among additional globally recognized IP, such as Reebok and Delorean Motor Company featured in the teaser, OPEN will feature a Ready Player One biome where fans can engage in competitive experiences born from the novel and film itself; including branded environments and skins.
“Joining forces with Walker Labs team of seasoned game devs from Epic, DICE, Microsoft, PlayStation, Remedy, EA, and more, has allowed us to tackle the genre-defining challenge of building a AAA, MMO open metaverse experience worthy of iconic IP” said Readyverse Studios Co-Founders.
“As avid fans of the IP entering OPEN, especially Ready Player One which came to define the open metaverse for mainstream consumers, we're busy crafting a memorable lore, in close collaboration with Ernest Cline, where players can immerse themselves for years to come,” said Wajhi Jafri, EP.
OPEN is now in development for PC and current-generation platforms.
