The demo's script was written by Resurrections writer and director Lana Wachowski, but it's more focused on some of the broad themes of the film, like the nature of reality, than on the actual story of the movie itself. Though the demo features Reeves reprising his character, Thomas Anderson, and Moss returning as Trinity, don't expect The Matrix Awakens to reveal any secrets about The Matrix Resurrections. For that portion, you can walk, drive, or fly around the environment, mess with lighting, adjust crowd and traffic density, and uncover a few secrets. The final portion of the demo puts you in a four-square-kilometer open-world city that recalls the nameless urban locale found inside the Matrix in the films. That portion, a bit of fourth wall-breaking Matrix tie-in, then bleeds into a driving sequence that adds some gameplay moments-as Carrie-Anne Moss's character, Trinity, drives a car onto the freeway, you play demo-original character Io hanging out a window, shooting out tires and blasting villainous Agents to stop their pursuit. First, it's something of a hands-off movie, in which Epic blends real footage of Keanu Reeves and some real props with faces and locations generated in Unreal Engine 5.
The Matrix Awakens consists of three different parts. So it's not especially surprising to see Epic Games team with the franchise to create The Matrix Awakens: An Unreal 5 Engine Experience, an impressive tech demo that does a lot to further blur the lines between games and films, and maybe even reality.
Beyond that, the stories of the films were expanded on by tie-in games such as Enter The Matrix and The Matrix Online. The movies themselves are about characters who dive into something of a video game world, where they're able to use game-like powers to be gun-toting kung fu-knowing badasses. The Matrix film franchise has always had a close and fascinating relationship with video games.
