The Matrix Online Ships March 22

I'm a sucker for the Matrix, dont believe any movie (in that genre) comes close to the original Matrix, while the game Enter The Matrix did leave some things to be desired I have a feeling the upcoming Matrix Online game (WoW style?) may rock.

Take the Red Pill on March 22 – Jack into The Matrix Online

The Matrix Online Launches March 22, 2005 in the US and April 8, 2005 in Europe.

The highly anticipated continuation to the Matrix film trilogy, The Matrix Online will begin unveiling a story full of twists and action when the game is released in March in US and April in Europe. The massively multi-player online game co-published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and SEGA has been in beta testing for months and features many of the original talent from the films - Laurence Fishburne (Morpheus), Monica Bellucci (Persephone), Mary Alice (The Oracle), Lambert Wilson (The Merovingian), Harold Perrineau Jr. (Link), Harry Lennix (Lock), Nona Gaye (Zee), Collin Chou (Seraph) and Tanveer Atwal (Sati).

Fans who pre-order The Matrix Online will enjoy the added bonus of special in-game abilities, access to the beta and an early entrance into the game. There's still time to take the plunge and pre-order; simply go to: http://thematrixonline.warnerbros.com/preorder.html.

Developed by Monolith Productions in conjunction with the Wachowski Brothers, creators of the Matrix trilogy, the game is a re-creation of the virtual world of the Matrix. The visually stunning game employs cutting edge 3-D graphics, networking and server technology. Gameplay in The Matrix Online is based on intricate and exciting "wire-fu" combat, an extensive mission structure, social interaction and completely customizable skill and ability system.
