'The Matrix Awakens' is an Unreal Engine 5 demo you can preload today

On December 9th, Epic Games will release The Matrix Awakens, an interactive tie-in to The Matrix Resurrections. You can preload the demo to your PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S console ahead of its debut at The Game Awards. Epic built the experience using Unreal Engine 5, and you can see what the next-generation engine is capable of in a teaser the company shared today. “How do we know what is real?” asks a life-like Keanu Reeves partway through the clip.

It’s a rare movie experience that’s any good, but that might not matter with The Matrix Awakens. For most people, this will be their first chance to see UE5 in action. Epic previewed the latest iteration of its popular game engine part way through last year with a stunning PS5 demo that showed off what it could do. In May, the company released an early access version of UE5 to PC, but the system requirements meant most people couldn’t experience the Valley of the Ancient demo with the hardware they had.

Santa and Reindeer Flying Drone: Ho-Ho-Hovercraft

Clearly unafraid to utilize the latest in flying technology, Santa is experimenting with delivering presents this year via a drone disguised as his sleigh and reindeer. Available from Firebox, the Flying Santa Drone is a radio-controlled drone featuring the likeness of Santa and four of his reindeer. I can already see myself flying it straight into the Christmas tree and breaking fragile ornaments.

The drone itself has an onboard rechargeable battery, and after installing three AAA batteries in the remote controller, you’re ready to ho-ho-hover to your heart’s content! At least until the drone’s battery is drained and you have to wait to recharge it. That’s when it’s time to take a snack break or play with the box it came in.

So – have you been good this year? Good enough to make Santa’s nice list? Because according to an elf friend of mine on the inside at Santa’s workshop, I have not been. I didn’t even make the naughty list; I made the sub-naughty list. I didn’t even know there was such a thing! I assume Santa is just going to come down my chimney to beat me up.
