Matrix Online Testers Sought

Warner Brothers is signing up potential beta testers for The Matrix Online, its upcoming massively multiplayer online role-playing game, based on the SF film trilogy. The company will choose several thousand applicants to take part in the beta test.

Applicants must live in the United States or Canada, meet minimum system requirements, have an active Internet connection and agree to the terms of the test. Testers will be selected starting this month.

The Matrix Online continues the story of the Matrix movie trilogy. Players will inhabit an enormous urban sprawl, which spreads for miles in all directions, where a secret war is being waged for the survival of humanity and machines alike.
