Matrix Awakens = potential MxO 2 ?

[Calaeus]

I can tell you now they won't be getting into the same river again. MxO went down quite early due to several factors, such as bad timing and very poor marketing. And now, as the market is oversaturated with various mmos unlike the old times, it would be even harder to push through and make a good game that stands out among the other games of this genre. Matrix games generally seem to be among the niche titles, and as such it's difficult to make a significant profit on them. Another thing is that making a good, profitable game nowadays require tremendous amount of time and resources. Matrix Awakens is a tech demo showing the capabilities of Unreal Engine 5 more than anything else. If we'll ever get a new game, it will be most like a singleplayer one. Something open world-ish, if Matrix Awakens would be used as a foundation.
