Neo & Trinity

When the Wachowskis released the first Matrix film, it was obvious that this was a universe that was too interesting not to return to again and again. In addition to the trilogy of films, there are a number of other projects that tie in to the Matrix timeline. You don’t have to enjoy them in order, of course, but together they create a much larger portrait of a world. Some of the different projects showcase minor stories or characters on the outskirts of the films, or that never appeared in the trilogy at all. In one, the player is responsible for making up part of the story as they go along. Even if you didn’t find the later sequels to be as riveting as the original, we recommend checking out some of the stories listed below. You may find yourself drawn back into the Matrix all over again.
