Description
The universe of The Matrix goes massively multiplayer in this cyberpunk RPG. Players jack into one of the many districts inside the anonymous sprawling city of the Matrix, and perform missions for the three organizations trying to control the Matrix: Zion, the Machines, and the Merovingian. The trademark gravity-defying kung fu combat of the films shows its face often as players immerse themselves in the Wachowski Brothers' cyberpunk world.
As a newly awakened "redpill," you can develop your character by swapping in and out certain abilities at will, made possible due to the fact that the Matrix is a computer, and spontaneous missions are available at literally any time with a simple call on your character's cellphone. The game also aims to allow even low level players to participate in and affect the story.

Trivia
The first chapter of
The Matrix Online saw Morpheus killed by a mysterious masked assassin (Cinematic 1.3). This moment, designed to be a shocking turn of events for players familiar with the films, also unraveled the truce between humans and the Machines (which, from a story perspective, opened up combat between the two sides within the game).
The immediate chapters following gave players from all three factions their own reasons to find the assassin and solve this mystery.
