In preparation for this week’s The Game Awards, unannounced properties began to seep ahead of its anticipated announcement at the Thursday show. One being The Matrix Awakens: An Unreal Engine 5 Experience: the project as indicated by the title is a tied-in project to the upcoming film, The Matrix: Resurrections. Additionally, it will utilize the tools of Unreal Engine 5 to bring The Matrix to (virtual) reality.

So far, Unreal Engine 5 has already proven to be a marvel for modern game development with its latest demonstration recently. Atop of that, other teams have showcase the possibilities with test demos for the new suite as well. Namely, The Coalition featured ‘Alpha Point’ earlier this summer to illustrate what can be achieved.

During the show this evening, The Matrix Awakens: An Unreal Engine 5 Experience received an immediate release for Xbox Series X|S alongside the previously listed PlayStation 5. You can watch the in-depth feature in the video below:

“This boundary-pushing technical demo is an original concept set within the world of Warner Bros’ The Matrix. Written and cinematically directed by Lana Wachowski, it features Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss reprising their roles as Neo and Trinity and—in a reality-flipping twist—also playing themselves,” Epic Games writes in the blog post.

“The project reunited many of the crew that worked on the seminal The Matrix trilogy, including James McTeigue, Kym Barrett, John Gaeta, Kim Libreri, Jerome Platteaux, George Borshukov, and Michael F Gay, in collaboration with teams across both Epic Games and partners, such as SideFX, Evil Eye Pictures, The Coalition, WetaFX (formerly Weta Digital), and many others.”
