Among the numerous announcements to come out of The Game Awards, The Matrix Awakens<\/a>\u00a0was one of the coolest as well as the most puzzling. Not quite a game, per see, this free interactive experience serves as a tech demo to showcase Unreal Engine 5’s horsepower using The Matrix universe as a backdrop. To say that it looks great is an understatement. We’re still trying to lift our jaws off the floor thanks to the life-like\u00a0fidelity of Awakens’\u00a0city.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You’ll also get a glimpse at how Awakens lets players tinker with development tools to alter the look and feel of its world.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Join Alex Stadink, Marcus Stewart, and Andrew Reiner as they delve into The Matrix Awakens’ stunning digital playground. Be sure to check out our round-up of all the big announcements<\/a> from The Game Awards, as well as the full list of award winners<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
