The Matrix: Legendary Encounters was being openly demoed across the tables at Gen Con. Showcasing the narrative through a series of "acts" that will thrust players down the path and hole of the white rabbit, featuring different parts of the original movie, and trilogy overall.

The game features hand-drawn illustrations encouraging a different experience when facing the choice of a blue or red pill. Players will still see familiar characters such as Neo, Trinity and Morpheus, and not the Keanu counterpart!

Players will be tied to their characters, building a deck that supports the provided character's gameplay and special abilities. Cooperating against the system, with the chance to flex the perfect synergies across buying in cards perfect for each character. different in the footsteps of X-Files and Predator, the next classic movie to be translated into some legendary encounters.

There is no release date just yet, only the mere sneaky peek over at Gen Con.
