Matrix Online begins where the third movie, Matrix Revolutions, left off. There is a truce between the Machines and Zion, but it’s a fragile one. Every faction has their own agenda and that includes the Exiles; the self-aware programs that live in the Matrix, and the Merovingian led by the Frenchman. New heroes are needed since the old ones are missing or worse. That’s where you come in; will you continue to support the cause of Zion, opt for the Merovingian lifestyle or will you go the way of Cypher and join the Machines?
