Ready Player Two was published and released on November 24, 2020. Cline later stated that Steven Spielberg contributed to the writing process of the book. Cline announced further developments following the film adaptation of the first novel and cited its critical and financial success, as well as the studio's interest in adapting a sequel, as additional motivation to finish what he had started. Cline stated that the novel would have a different story-line involving all of the characters, while still exploring pop culture references like the first book. In December 2017, Cline confirmed that he was working on a sequel. In 2015, in an interview with Den of Geek, screenwriter Zak Penn, who wrote the film adaptation of Ready Player One, reported that Ernest Cline was working on a sequel to the original novel. Critics expressed disappointment in the story, writing, characters, and poor usage of references saying that it failed to expand in "new and exciting ways" on the original with many taking note of excessive similarities to Sword Art Online and other popular media in the plot. The novel received widely negative reviews on release. It debuted at number one on The New York Times Best Seller list. Cline attributes further developments to the critical and financial success of the film adaptation of the first novel released in 2018. Plans for a Ready Player One sequel were first announced in 2015, though Cline did not begin writing the book until late 2017. It is the sequel to his 2011 debut novel Ready Player One.
