Enthusiasm for The Matrix has bubbled back up to the surface lately, with the aptly titled The Matrix Resurrections bringing back the iconic sci-fi story with a brand new sequel. The movie is due to hit theatres on 22nd December, and it looks as though Warner Bros. might be planning more than just a two-hour flick.
Today, vigilant fans have discovered something called The Matrix Awakens. Whatever it is, this has appeared on the PlayStation Store's backend, with only a single image to work off:
As the image says, this is being referred to as an "Unreal Engine 5 experience". Presumably, this means we're looking at some sort of interactive film tie-in that takes advantage of Epic's latest game engine tech. Whatever it turns out to be, it should at least look extremely good.
We'll obviously bring you any more news about this as it happens. One thing to consider is, not only is the film out in the coming weeks, but The Game Awards is very close now. Could this be formally announced at Keighley's show? We'll have to wait and see.

This will definitely be a Game Awards announcement alongside Neo and Trinity in Fortnite.
experience makes me think it might be VR flying thing, or maybe just VR cookie eating
Did we really need another Matrix movie?
Enter the Matrix on GameCube was the only game I ever traded in to GameStop lol. Hope this is a better game for the fans haha
For some reason, I have a feeling this will be along the lines of the Radiohead Kid A Mnesiac art project… and I also have a feeling it will be better than the movie, which I have a feeling will not live up to the original sequels which did not live up to the original film. Just a guess. I’d like to be wrong.
@RBMango Y'know what? That actually isn't too hard to believe!
I was always surprised to see Matrix not click as well as one would hope with video games. I mean it's literally about a virtual world where anything is possible. Talk about tailor made although I have a soft spot for Path of Neo.
Looking forward to the movie and whatever this turns out to be though!
@Golem25 I'd say no but then I saw the trailer and it looks pretty dope to me!
The sequels were fantastic (though part 3 is flawed), and I can't wait to see the new one! Don't care if the internet collectively decided to redundantly moan about them... joyless sobbs.
As for this, I'm intrigued to see UE5 in action.
@Golem25 If we go by "need" then no, we don't really need any of these stories. Need isn't always the reason why something's made.
Sounds like vr to me
Might as well put my opinion out there.
@somnambulance I'd like you to be wrong too mate... But I suspect you're absolutely spot on with everything you said👍
@somnambulance I don’t know why, but I’m actually pretty excited for this movie. I’m hoping it’ll be somewhere between the original and Reloaded in quality. Even if it’s between Reloaded and Revolutions, I’ll be mildly happy…
A VR matrix thing could be incredible tbh.
@tameshiyaku my thoughts exactly. I greatly enjoyed the sequels and I'm most certainly looking for the 4th one.
@TheKramer89 I’m definitely looking forward to seeing it, but I’m also keeping my expectations in check. These 20 years or so later style sequels are wildly unpredictable in what kind of quality they’ll have. It’ll be interesting to see what happens.
Sounds like an MMORPG...... Lets make that happen!
@RBMango Oh I will be disappointed if it's not announced there, just makes too much sense!
Loved all three movies, even the awesome sex scene. So looking forward to this.
I generally find people don’t like the second movie because they don’t understand the plot. I’m glad they did what they did, sometimes it’s nice to have a plot that’s a little deeper than the average Hollywood movie.
@HotGoomba did I miss something ?? What sex scenes ? Really can't remember any in it at all ...not that I'm bothered, you just really got me racking my brains.....
@KingPev there was a sex scene that wasn't too graphic but it was still there, and there was also nudity. You can check out Matrix Reloaded's IMDb parent guide page for more info.
