The Matrix Resurrections is set to premiere in theaters and on HBO Max on December 22. However, in the days leading up to the fourth Matrix film's launch, it appears that Warner Bros. and Sony are cooking up something that's described as an "Unreal Engine 5 experience".
What is The Matrix Awakens?
As spotted by eagle-eyed users on r/GamingLeaksAndRumours, there is an image found in the back end of the PlayStation Network with zero other details outside of the description that it is a PlayStation 5 product with the title "The Matrix Awakens".
Because of the mystery surrounding this "Unreal Engine 5 experience", users have begun speculating as to the nature of this product.
Epic Games first revealed Unreal Engine 5 back in May 2020 and is technically still in early access. It sees a marked leap in graphical performance from Unreal Engine 4, as evidenced by the Black Myth: Wukong trailer that was released a few months ago.
