The first sneak peek at Steven Spielberg's Ready Player One has been released and it's got us rather excited.

Entertainment Weekly's poster shows Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan) in his hideout with his VR visor on, fully immersed in OASIS life.

He's surrounded by all his most treasured possessions – and so many Easter eggs we can barely count them all.

Ready Player One tells the frightening story of a dystopian near future set in 2045, where the majority of people are poor and escape into a virtual world known as OASIS.

This world was created by James Halliday (Mark Rylance), who prior to his death set a final challenge for players, and whoever solves it wins the OASIS and all his fortune.

If you have a good look at the poster, you can spot the bike Wade pedals to charge up his VR gear and there's egg cartons on the walls to soundproof his hideout.

Ready Player One hits cinemas on March 30, 2018.
