Hello everyone! To celebrate the launch of Unreal Engine 5, we couldn’t be prouder to share a behind-the-scenes look at the artistry and craftsmanship that went into building “The Matrix Awakens: An Unreal Engine 5 Experience”.
Released for free on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in December of last year, The Matrix Awakens: An Unreal Engine 5 Experience is a playable and boundary-pushing showcase for what’s possible in Unreal Engine 5 on consumer hardware, featuring a sprawling and living open-world city playground for players to explore.
We’ve also put this world in your hands with our free City Sample, complete with buildings, vehicles, and crowds of high-quality MetaHuman characters. Downloading the sample, anyone can get a better understanding of how we used new and improved systems in Unreal Engine 5 to create the experience and can even add to it, creating entirely new games or projects. It serves as a tangible demonstration that UE5 offers all of the components you need as a creator to tell new stories and express yourself without limits.
We want to share a heartfelt thanks to all of the talented artists and teams who helped make this one-of-a-kind project a reality. Creating this was a dream come true, we hope you enjoy this very special trip down the rabbit hole.
Enjoy!
