Atari Hints at New Matrix Game
News on Game Power Australia (thanks
Tiscali Games) has "off the record"
information "that a new Matrix game is currently in development, and is
expected to tie in with the release of
The Matrix Revolutions, scheduled
to release later this year." Meanwhile,
Computer
and Video Games (thanks
Frans) goes from rumor mongering to rumor debunking,
shedding light on the situation with this:
Indeed, reports on the
Internet, originating in Australia, claim that Atari will be releasing a
follow-up in late 2003. But, with Enter the Matrix only recently out, wouldn't
that really be just a little too soon?
That's certainly the case as far as Atari UK is concerned, a spokesperson
confirming with us today that Enter the Matrix developer Shiny Entertainment
"will be doing another Matrix game" but added that it's not due for
release until "around Christmas 2004".
They also go on to say
that a third Matrix game is planned for "around 2006" to be developed
by Shiny, creators of the Enter the Matrix game.
