Author Ernest Cline has announced that a sequel to his original “Ready Player One” book, released back in 2011 and transformed into a film by Steven Spielberg released during 2018, will be released as a book on November 24th, 2020.
Background and Anticipation
The aptly named “Ready Player Two” is a direct sequel to the original, and Cline has been writing the sequel for several years. The original “Ready Player One” captivated readers with its rich, immersive world set in a dystopian future where people escape their harsh realities by entering the virtual reality universe of the OASIS. The book was praised for its intricate plot, nostalgic references to 1980s pop culture, and its exploration of themes such as virtual reality, identity, and the power of technology.
Given the success of the first book and its film adaptation, anticipation for “Ready Player Two” has been building steadily. Fans are eager to see how Cline will expand on the universe he created and what new adventures await the characters. At the current time, plot details have still yet to be released, but the sequel will follow the original book and not the film. This distinction is important as there were notable differences between the book and its cinematic adaptation.
Preorder and Availability
“Ready Player Two” is now available to preorder via online retailers such as Amazon, both as a hardcover and Kindle edition, as well as Apple Books. Preordering the book ensures that fans will receive their copy as soon as it is released, allowing them to dive back into the OASIS without delay. The availability of the book in multiple formats also caters to different reading preferences, whether one prefers the tactile experience of a hardcover book or the convenience of a digital edition.
As soon as more details are announced regarding the storyline or the possibility of it being made into a film, we will keep you up to speed as always. Given the success of the first film, which grossed over $582 million worldwide, it wouldn’t be surprising if “Ready Player Two” also finds its way to the big screen. Spielberg’s adaptation was noted for its stunning visual effects and faithful recreation of the OASIS, making it a favorite among fans of the book and moviegoers alike.
In the meantime, fans can revisit the original “Ready Player One” to refresh their memories and speculate about what might happen in the sequel. Will Wade Watts face new challenges in the OASIS? Will there be new characters introduced, or will familiar faces return? These questions and more will hopefully be answered when “Ready Player Two” hits the shelves.
The release of “Ready Player Two” also comes at a time when virtual reality technology is becoming increasingly mainstream. With advancements in VR headsets and immersive experiences, the themes explored in Cline’s books are more relevant than ever. The idea of escaping into a virtual world is no longer just science fiction; it’s becoming a part of our reality.
