Sega Europe today announced that The Matrix Online, will go live on March 25th in the UK and be priced at £29.99 for players of 12 years and older.

I couldn't see any subscription details, but I suspect it will be a similar prices to other MMORPG's.

The Matrix will become reality as gamers everywhere log into The Matrix Online to continue the saga of The Matrix movie trilogy

Players of The Matrix Online will inhabit an enormous urban sprawl, which spreads for miles in all directions. There are subways, nightclubs, skyscrapers, and dark alleys that all seem normal on the surface, but beneath this pedestrian exterior, a secret war is being waged for the survival of humanity and machine alike. Here, you and many operatives like yourself, will determine who shall inherit the earth.
