The Awakening Matrix is an Unreal Engine 5 experience that you can pre-load right now
With the world’s return to The Matrix franchise a few weeks away (Limewire download time in the early 2000s), Epic Games is releasing a new experience built on its new engine. . In partnership with the cast and crew of the upcoming film, The Matrix Awakens: An Unreal Engine 5 Experience will show what the new software can do.
Matrix Recovery director Lana Wachowski was involved in bringing this showcase of technology to life, and so were the film’s stars, Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss, who provided the performances for Awakens. The trailer for the Unreal experience is exceptionally short, offering only a few seconds of Reeves doing what is asked of him in a bright white void: questioning existence, asking, “How do we do them?” do we know what’s real,” is a question perhaps pointing to his own self in the trailer, a near-realistic rendition of the famous actor. Or else he’s messing with us, and that’s really Keanu on film. I talk about that, for making me wonder about three seconds of footage all day.
Matrix Awakens is currently available for pre-load on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Stay tuned for more on the experience at The Game Awards this Thursday.
