The metaverse game hints at a world brimming with action, offering iconic vehicles like the DeLorean from the Ready Player One universe. The possibilities for other pop-culture icons are open, as vehicles, weapons, or character customization features in the game.
Metaverse Gaming: The Next Big Thing
Drawing from the success of games like Fortnite, ‘OPEN’ promises a unique gaming experience by heavily incorporating the metaverse concept. The game will chiefly serve as the “hero experience” within the vast Readyverse, aiming to become an immersive and interoperable platform for exploring metaverse games and experiences.
Wajhi Jafri, an executive producer at Walker Labs, accentuated the team’s determination to weave an intriguing storyline in collaboration with Ernest Cline. They plan to focus on original storytelling and potential world-building within the Ready Player One universe.
