Matrix will be getting the video game treatment thanks to Epic Games. The game’s developer has created The Matrix Awakens, and an official teaser has been leaked. Members of the original movie team, including Lana Wachowski, have worked with Epic Games to bring out the video game, which promises to be a “wild ride into the reality-bending universe of the Matrix”.
The video game is expected to push the boundaries, however, it isn’t available in VR. Nevertheless, this Matrix game has been designed to tie in with the latest movie, and it can be played on both Playstation 5 and the Xbox. The tech demo is very impressive, and it gives us a glimpse into the future.
Of course, the Matrix franchise has been an overwhelming success. The movies derived from the classic comics, which began over 20 years ago, gaining traction worldwide in the process. Inspired by the films, there is a Matrix store where fans can get their hands on merchandise, such as Keanu Reeves’ iconic black leather trenchcoat, if they want to imitate the film’s main character Neo. But it’s not just with the comics and films that the Matrix has made its mark. The Matrix has branched out and made its presence felt in the online casino sphere. Slots developer Playtech, who is behind many games that are available at the best online casinos USA, created a special Matrix slot that stands out visually with the Matrix digital rain as the backdrop, staying true to the film.
Although the game isn’t a full-blown game by any stretch of the imagination, it is still worth a try in demo mode, at least to see what Epic Games has produced. At this moment, we still don’t have an idea as to what The Matrix Awakens video game will look like once it is fully launched. Nevertheless, you can expect that Epic Games has gone to town by producing spectacular graphics and visuals that will please video game enthusiasts, regardless of whether they are fans of the Matrix.
However, the video game will only build up interest in the film, which will hit the cinemas soon. There may still be some unknowns, but we expect the video game will blend in beautifully with the film. Perhaps there will be a few surprises, but the Matrix is usually mind-blowing, and the interactive element will win over its loyal legion of films.
Only time will tell, but in the immortal words of Neo, played by Reeves: “I know what you’re thinking, ‘cause right now I’m thinking the same thing’.” Hopefully, the video game will be on a similar sort of wavelength as the film.
