The LEGO Matrix is a video game released in August 2013. It is co-produced by TT Games, WB Games, Yukes Future Media Creators and Japanese anime house Studio 4C•, with WB Games also serving as publisher.
It is based on the Matrix Film Trilogy and other subsequent media written and directed by Andy and Larry Wachowski.
A re-mastered version of the game will be released in the summer of 2022, which will also include unused plot elements from The Matrix Online and story elements from the recently released fourth film, The Matrix Retaliation.
Overview
Game Schematic
LEGO The Matrix looks and plays in a similar vein to LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, in that it features a massive metropolis for Neo and other characters to explore. The entire game world allows for free roaming to wherever, which is a very good thing considering that hidden surprises will be abundant this time around. Players not only relive all of the epic action sequences from the three films, but they can also visit (or re-visit) numerous plotlines from The Animatrix and play through a handful of all-new game sequences created exclusively for the game.
Hub World
The secondary hubworld for Lego The Matrix is on-board the Nebuchadnezzar hovercraft. A good number of power-ups and upgrades can be purchased here whereas nearly everything else can be found hidden within Mega City, which, of course, serves as the main hubworld. Most of the gameplay also takes place in Mega City.
Plot Summary
The Matrix: A loner computer programmer, sensing something very off about the world as he knows it, must seek the truth. Meanwhile, he is being secretly watched by opposing sides of a rebellion that is happening outside of the man's seemingly cozy world...
The Matrix Reloaded: With a newfound sense of his role in a war that has raged for a century, Neo, a lone wolf computer genius, freed from the world pulled over his eyes for so long, battles to save humans still enslaved to the Matrix from the machines that run the system. However, the battle becomes more furious and vitriolic when an agent of the system goes rogue and pursues a vendetta against him. Neo must now call upon other ship captains and crews, as well as Morpheus and Trinity, to thwart this new threat.
The Matrix Revolutions: Smith, an Agent of the Matrix, is on the cusp of destroying the system and everyone still connected thereto, as well as the machines that run it, due to his becoming more virulent as a result of his first battle with Neo. Meanwhile, a number of ships and their crews have fallen to the burgeoning aggression of the machine armies. Three ship crews still remain to stand against the coming onslaught, but time has almost run out for all of them. What's more? The sole remaining crew member of a ship attacked by the machines is acting erratically....
The Matrix Retaliation: It's been said that the sixth One, upon defeating the great machine menace, was not returned to Zion to be laid to rest by the people he saved, the people who looked to this man as more than a hero. The machines took the fallen One Neo to their city, and he has not been seen since. Now, in a new world, the people have written Neo's victory off as a grave fluke. They have started to loathe the man and what he did. As a further result, the Machines, upon learning that the refugees of Zion were rebuilding their city anew, cancelled the accord reached by Neo at the end of the Machine War, and have renewed their assault with vicious abandon. Even some of the captains, who once held Neo in high regard, now hold him in contempt. The only ones who still see Neo as a hero of the people are a new generation of rebels, freshly released from the Matrix. They set for themselves a daunting task: prove that Neo is still alive, and also prove that his victory achieved far more than just the end of a brutal war.
