After announcing that The Matrix Online would officially launch on January 18, 2005, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, Sega, and Monolith Productions announced the details of the preorder program that will offer participants exclusive access to the closed beta beginning on November 18, 2004.
In addition to the beta test, the preorder program will allow participants to start the Live game three days before the official launch. These preorder users will also gain an advanced-level Hyper-Jump ability with a special graphical effect.
This will be an opportunity for members of the Matrix community to establish allegiances, join guilds, and plan strategies for the full game. During the preorder beta, players will experience full mechanics and abilities of The Matrix Online, however the game's storyline will not commence until the official launch in January.
