Ready Player One creator debuts ‘Open,’ a metaverse battle royale experience
Earlier this year, Readyverse Studios – co-founded by blockchain tech company Futureverse and Ernest Cline, the mind behind the sci-fi franchise Ready “Open” is a third-person battle royale experience featuring a biome based on Ready Player One.
“Open” is a third-person battle royale experience in which players compete against each other in game-show-styled, multi-round collaborative modes using various gaming techniques, such as shooting, tactical positioning, and driving. Watts, a teenage orphan and avid player, enters the contest where he goes up against evil corporate employees who work for a greedy CEO who wants to control and monetize the OASIS with intrusive online advertising. Readyverse Studios says Open is the “first AAA quality metaverse experience interoperable with AAA IP that leverages web3 technology,” and it’s named after the principles that The Readyverse leverages, such as “asset interoperability, digital ownership, decentralization, and security.” A good portion of that technology is thanks to Futureverse, a platform of 11 companies like gaming studios and blockchain startups.
