Sony Online buys rights to Matrix Online
The news is now confirmed that Sony Online has indeed purchased rights for the very popular Matrix Online video game. The company also bought the rights to developing games based on popular DC Comics characters like Batman, Superman Wonder Woman, and the Sandman. This would give them enough material to develop popular games for their upcoming Sony PlayStation 3.
Sony Online Entertainment president John Smedley said in a statement: “SOE will work closely with Warner Bros. and DC Comics to maintain the authenticity consumers demand from the franchises. We will also take steps to continue the same high level of service that subscribers have come to expect from The Matrix Online game.”
Warner on their part said in statement: “Our goal is to deliver quality content and consistently advance our key properties within the online games space. We’ve done just that with The Matrix Online. Because of our compelling work in developing and launching that game we can now move it over to the leaders in the MMO space, SOE.”
Matrix Online in their coming versions would be developed into a single player and small-scale multiplayer titles rather than the current MMO genre. The game based on the DC Comics characters is scheduled to be released sometime in 2007.
