Epic Games has released an interesting teaser video. ‘The Matrix Awakens’ seems to be related to the movie ‘The Matrix: Resurrection’ scheduled to be released in December.

The teaser released this time is a short 15-second video, in which the world colored with the black background and green digital code unique to the Matrix unfolds for a moment, and Keanu Reeves, who plays the main character Neo, appears and says, “How can you know what is real? ( How do we know, what is real?)”

There is no detailed description of the video, but it is a rough description of ‘the future of interactive storytelling and entertainment provided by Unreal Engine 5’, so it is presumed that Neo appearing in the video is not a real actor but a digital human. In addition, the current trial version can be pre-downloaded on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, so the technology to be showcased in ‘Matrix Awakens’ is not only for B2B, but is estimated to be at a level that can be implemented on current-generation consoles and PCs.

Detailed information on ‘The Matrix Awakens’ to be presented by Epic Games will be revealed at The Game Awards 2021, which will be held at 10 am on December 10 in Korea.
