After his success with Ready Player One, author Ernest Cline takes the leap into the gaming industry. A first trailer now announces the new Battle Royale, which promises you a multiverse experience.
What kind of game will this be? A first trailer now announces a new Battle Royale game called “OPEN”, which is being developed under the publisher Readyverse in collaboration with author Ernest Cline. You might know him as the author of Ready Player One.
And it’s exactly this universe he created that the new Battle Royale aims to immerse you in, as you can already see in the trailer:
Competing among a multitude of Battle Royale games is, of course, a certain challenge, but new developers constantly rise to the occasion. The developers behind OPEN also want to get in on the action and even announce that their game would define the genre.
They also describe their game as a AAA title with top-tier IP in Web3. Many details about what this will look like and what players can expect are still not available. However, those interested can sign up for the newsletter on the official website, which will keep you updated with the latest information (via visitopen.com).
Which franchises can you expect? With OPEN, a Battle Royale has been announced that aims to unite many different biomes and franchises. Similar to Ready Player One itself. The game is supposed to be filled with nostalgia and feature many different characters and “cultural legends”.
The first trailer aims to give an impression of this concept, even though there is currently no gameplay to be seen.
It’s a camera movement through a warehouse, where you can catch a glimpse of an NES, a PlayStation, or a DeLorean. It can be expected that the Battle Royale will combine some older games, but also films like “Back to the Future”.
At the end of the trailer, you see the well-known avatar Parzival, originating from Ready Player One, running towards a screen. This screen displays the words: “Are you ready?” (in German “Bist du bereit?”) and then pulls the avatar into itself.
Another Battle Royale has already achieved great success and many collaborations: Fortnite: Players are excited about the new weapons – Epic nerfs one not even a day later by 1250%
