The Matrix Awakens, ‘an Unreal Engine 5 experience’, has leaked for PS5

It’s unclear if it’s a game or some other kind of media tie-in

A product called The Matrix Awakens has reportedly leaked ahead of an official reveal.

A promotional image for the product, which is billed as an “Unreal Engine 5 experience,” was published on the PlayStation Network backend with no further details other than it exists for PS5 (via Reddit).

It’s unclear if The Matrix Awakens will be a full game or some sort of film tie-in that takes advantage of Epic‘s game engine.

The fourth instalment in The Matrix movie franchise hits cinemas later this month.

Directed by Lana Wachowski, The Matrix Resurrections is the sequel to 2003’s The Matrix Revolutions.

Several official Matrix video games have previously been released including Enter The Matrix (2003), The Matrix: Path of Neo (2005) and The Matrix Online (2005).

It’s possible the new Matrix project could be revealed at The Game Awards, which will take place at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on December 9.

The eighth edition of the annual event will be a major production featuring an on-stage orchestra, celebrity guests, an awards show and a host of game reveals.

Founder Geoff Keighley has said he expects 40-50 games to be on show in one form or another and new titles being announced to number in the double digits.
