The Matrix goes meta with Unreal Engine 5 experience

The Matrix has once again begun to ingratiate fans and pop culture disciples once again, taking the form of what can only be described as a truly meta experience and giving much credibility to the concept that we are nothing more than avatars in a simulation.

The Unreal Engine 5 decided to show off its capabilities in the most boss way ever, by using the franchise that gave rise to much of the concepts of where AI, gaming and metaverse tech is leaping towards today – The Matrix. And with The Matrix Resurrections just around the corner, it is definitely a succinct alignment of purpose and branding.

Description reads:
