SEGA and Warner Bros. announce that the eagerly awaited MMORPG of the Wachowski brothers’ slick trilogy is now live Stateside...
Warner Brothers Interactive and SEGA have today confirmed that The Matrix Online has now gone live in the North American territories before the European launch on April 8th 2005. Set after the events of The Matrix Revolutions, players will jack into the Matrix and interact with a range of characters from the film all voiced by the actual cast.
What sets The Matrix Online apart from other MMORPG titles is that in order to progress the storyline, a dedicated team at Monolith will take control of the main characters and therefore help bring âchoreographed interactionâ to the game.
Jason Hall, Senior Vice President for Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment commented that, âThe Matrix Online takes massively multi-player online games to a new level by giving players the chance to directly participate and make history within the Matrix's continuing, intriguing storyâ¦In The Matrix Online, gamers can create their ideal character for combat and socialization within an incredibly expansive urban environment and then interact with actual characters from the Matrix films."
"The Matrix Online is a fast-paced, action-driven MMOG that combines the excitement of wire-fu combat and bullet time with an engaging, persistent world directed by the creators of the world-famous franchise," said Simon Jeffery, President and COO of SEGA of America, Inc. "SEGA expects The Matrix Online to satisfy hardcore gamers while remaining extremely accessible to newcomers and fans of the Matrix universe."
The game will have a monthly subscription of $14.99 or players will also be able to purchase 60-day pre-paid game cards for $29.99.
