The Matrix Awakens: An Unreal Engine 5 Experience Officially Revealed, Available Now on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S

The Matrix Awakens: An Unreal 5 Experience has been officially revealed and is available to experience on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S right now.

Revealed during The Game Awards 2021 by none other than Keanu Reeves, who plays Neo in the Matrix series, and Carrie-Anne Moss, who plays Trinity, the experience is a visual introduction to what Unreal is all about. Engine 5 can do it. During The Game Awards 2021, Reeves and Moss were found before the dodge-a bullet-by-bending-really-really-reverse-far-far-far from the first Matrix movie .

Reeves jokes that he can’t do such moves anymore, but he said in Unreal Engine 5 he can. Then we see some footage from Matrix Resurrections, which, oddly enough, also includes footage from The Matrix. From there, we go back to Reeves and Moss, who ask, “What’s a game and what’s a movie?”

The duo then revealed the world premiere of The Matrix Awakens: An Unreal Engine 5 Experience and it was quite impressive, if not touching strange valley territory.

It turns out that the experience is playable and appears to take place during a scene in which Neo and Trinity are dodging enemies while racing down a street. We haven’t played it yet, but if we had to guess, it plays like a shooting game. It appears to be a tech demo with playable elements.
