Now Playing: The Matrix Awakens Reveal Trailer | Game Awards 2021
Less than a fully-fledged game, the tech demo is meant to highlight the heights now within reach for something like the Unreal Engine 5. Just this week, Epic’s crown jewel, Fortnite, moved over to Unreal Engine 5 with the launch of Fortnite Chapter 3.
The Matrix Awakens is an open-world experience and was created via a collaboration between Epic Games and Warner Bros. Its release comes just weeks before The Matrix Resurrections hits theaters and HBO Max on December 22.
