The Matrix Online Announced

Posted by simoniker on from the many-different-matrices dept.

Thanks to Blue's News for pointing to the new official website for The Matrix Online. This massively multiplayer PC title, where you get to live, explore and fight within the machine construct of The Matrix, is courtesy Warner Brothers and Ubi Soft, and is being developed by Monolith (of No-One Lives Forever and Tron 2.0 fame) for a 2004 release. IGN.com has more details, and a healthy, if sensible, skepticism until they see the game playable. Finally, this project is completely separate from Shiny/Atari's Enter The Matrix game that we covered a little while back, and which is shipping into stores about now.

  1. Ah, irony by jearbear · · Score: 2, Informative

    So, wait, a computer simulation of what its like being locked inside of a computer simulation?

    As Kenu would say, "Whoah."

    At least it proves that irony is not dead, even if it is lost on some.
