The Matrix: Awakens: Experience the future of gaming for yourself
The future of gaming is almost here and thanks to The Matrix: Awakens you can already experience it: in your own living room!
Do you ever wonder: how did they manage to do this in this game? Of course that is too difficult to explain here, but usually a good foundation is a good place to start.
Unreal Engine
Take the Unreal Engine. It was brought to life by Epic Games and has been the basis of a number of top sellers ever since. This ‘engine’ is being improved more and more to make games more beautiful and to improve the lighting, graphics and the like. Good news: Unreal Engine 5 is on the way, the latest version of the engine. And you can already get a taste of it.
The Matrix: Awakens
Because in addition to the upcoming Matrix movie, there is now also a Matrix ‘game’! It’s called The Matrix: Awakens and it’s completely free. The term game should be taken with a grain of salt, it is called an ‘experience’. There’s no storyline, it’s technically not even finished yet. But it is a nice demonstration of the technology.
The actors and actresses from the upcoming film welcome you to The Matrix: Awakens and you get a little taste of how shooting works in the experience. After that, you will be dumped in a city that resembles New York and you can drive around in cars or walk around. That’s it.
But as said, it’s not about the gameplay, it’s about what you see. How cars drive, how the damage works on cars, the lighting, the graphics and things like that. This is going to be the foundation for games in the future, so you can see what the future looks like for free with The Matrix: Awakens. You can download the experience now on the PS5 or Xbox Series S and X.
