The Matrix Awakened: Epic Games Chooses the Blue Pill
Short‑form recap: Epic teamed up with the original Matrix squad—yeah, Lana Wachowski and the crew—to cook up a mind‑blowing Unreal Engine 5 demo called The Matrix Awakens. And guess who’s in it? Keanu Reeves, yourself! (If you’re thinking of Netflix hits, remember he’s also on the Helm of the Lord of the Rings‑style “John Wick”).
What’s the buzz about?
Yesterday, we got a teaser that’s already making everyone ask, “Show us more!” They’re keeping the details hush‑hush, but remembering the 2020 UE5 demo, it’s going to look so real you’ll swear it’s a lived‑in alternate reality.
Game‑time details
- Platforms: PlayStation 5 & Xbox Series X/S
- Size: 29 GB — don’t worry, it will auto‑install when you pre‑load.
- Release date: December 9, at The Game Awards.
- Pre-game hype: Coming in time for the new movie The Matrix Resurrections (theaters, December 22).
Take a trip to the Matrix?
We’re staring at the blue pill again and saying “Yes, please.” The tech demo promises to bring in the signature film look via Unreal Engine 5, so buckle up; we’re all set for an unforgettable visual treat.
