WARNER
BROS. STUDIOS AND UBI SOFT PARTNER TO LAUNCH THE MATRIX ONLINE IN 2004
Los Angeles, USA – May 14, 2003 – Warner Bros. Studios and Ubi Soft® Entertainment,
one of the world’s largest video game publishers, will co-publish The Matrix
Online, the first massively multiplayer online game based on Warner Bros. Pictures’
vastly influential Matrix property.
Under the terms of the worldwide exclusive deal, Ubi Soft will distribute and
manage the live game operations of The Matrix Online, while Warner Bros. Studios
will oversee all story and content development. Both companies will supervise
ongoing game development and marketing activities for the game. Following the
beta test in 2003, The Matrix Online is expected to launch in 2004.
Set in a virtual, persistent online universe in which millions of players around
the globe can participate, The Matrix Online will feature cutting-edge graphics,
real-time martial arts combat and a rich storyline that picks up where The Matrix
Revolutions, the third chapter in The Matrix film trilogy, leaves off.
The game is currently being developed for the PC by Monolith Productions, an
award-winning independent game developer, and EON Entertainment, the company
owned by the Wachowski Brothers, creators of The Matrix trilogy.
“The Wachowski Brothers’ vision for The Matrix is one that extends far beyond
the theatrical trilogy, and the world they have created is so rich that we’ve
chosen to tell inter-connected Matrix-related stories in multiple mediums,”
said Joel Silver, producer of the Matrix films. “Our goal in collaborating with
Ubi Soft is to create a multiplayer online game that reflects the trilogy’s
highly stylized storytelling and innovative action, taking fans beyond the boundaries
of the movie screen and into a ‘persistent world’ where they can fully explore
the vast realm of the Matrix.”
The Matrix Online partnership between Ubi Soft and Warner Bros. Studios provides
both companies with a unique opportunity to tap into the enormous worldwide
potential of online games, particularly in North America and the growing Asian
and European markets.
“The Matrix Online is the perfect property to showcase Warner Bros. Studios’
steadily increasing involvement in interactive entertainment, especially in
the online space,” said Kevin Tsujihara, Executive Vice President, Corporate
Business Development and Strategy, Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. “Drawing
on our Studio’s expertise as one of the world’s premiere content providers,
The Matrix Online will offer gamers an experience simply not available anywhere
else.”
“Imagine if the Matrix existed today, if millions of people could enter a simulation
so convincing, so real, that they believed it to be an actual place,” said Yves
Guillemot, President of Ubi Soft Entertainment. “Ubi Soft and Warner Bros. Studios
will bring the Matrix universe to life – enabling gamers throughout the world
to participate in the continuously evolving world of The Matrix Online.”
Released by Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures in 1999, the
acclaimed action thriller The Matrix won four Academy Awards, broke Studio records
by accumulating over $475 million in worldwide theatrical receipts, and was
the first DVD title to sell one million units. To date, The Matrix has accumulated
worldwide DVD/VHS sales of $325 million.
Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures will release the highly
anticipated second and third chapters in The Matrix trilogy this year: The Matrix
Reloaded opens theatrically on May 15, to be followed by The Matrix Revolutions
in November. In addition, Warner Home Video will release The Animatrix, a collection
of of stunningly visual animated stories that delve further into the mind-bending
world of The Matrix and the characters who inhabit it, on DVD and VHS on June
3.
Already one of the top ten online gaming portals worldwide, ubi.com supports
all of Ubi Soft’s CD-ROM and subscription-based games, including EverQuest™,
the recently-released Shadowbane and the latest game in the Myst series, Uru:
