On December 22, the green light will be given in cinemas and then reveal the continuation of the story of the original trilogy. But it is clear that it will not stop there.
A new leak from Reddit user the_andshrew and further speculation on the net suggest that there must also be a new gameplay experience to match the movie. It will probably not be a complete title, but rather a fairly small part.
This is supposed to be called The Matrix Awakens and is based on Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 5. The above image is found in the PlayStation Network data system; In this context, the PlayStation 5 was specifically mentioned. It remains to be seen if the game experience will also appear on other platforms.
The new Unreal Engine 5 was only introduced in May 2020 and has been in Early Access ever since; The number of projects using Epic Games’ next generation engine is still fairly manageable, so the separate Matrix offering is more important than it really is.
The official announcement is still pending, but it can be expected at The Game Awards on December 9th. why? Then the film’s lead actors, Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Ann Moss, will appear and present an award.
