Unless you have been under a rock, you have heard of The Matrix. The movie series took action special effects to new limits with a disturbing storyline that had players realizing a bleak future scenario coupled with the ultimate online game – a real world simulation. Only after learning about what The Matrix, the computer-generated real world that most of humanity believed itself to be living in, were the rebel heroes able to overcome the system and begin to fight the machines.

The idea to create an online game for this title has been in the works for a while. First Ubisoft had the license, then Atari and in May of this year, SEGA announced that it had undertaken the task of bringing The Matrix Online to life.
