Get your sunglasses ready, because the virtual world of The Matrix movies will become the virtual role-playing world of The Matrix Online later this year. As is generally the case with online role-playing games, you and thousands of other players will have the chance to explore and battle in a huge world, only this time you won't explore a fantastical world full of elves and dwarves. Instead you'll explore the omnipresent cityscape of the Matrix. Traveling alone or in groups, you can take up missions for various factions in the game or follow your own path. The Matrix Online is set after the events of the movie trilogy, so it's a brave new virtual world to explore. To get details on some of the community aspects of the game, we caught up with producer William Westwater.
