THE FINAL CHAPTER

On July 31st, 2009, at 11:59 p.m., THE MATRIX ONLINE servers went offline for the final time. In the days leading up to the end, the development team activated each of the special events that MxO had seen, culminating with a player party during the final hours. The following images are from the last days of THE MATRIX ONLINE.

On behalf of everyone who worked to bring THE

MATRIX ONLINE to life and kept it running smoothly,

Sony Online Entertainment LLC and Warner Bros.

Interactive Entertainment would like to extend our

heartfelt thanks to everyone who took the Red Pill

and jacked in over the last 4 years to share in the

experience that was MxO.

The tools for adventure were provided, Mega City

was the stage, but it was the dedicated fans of the

movies and the passionate players of the game who

came together to create the vibrant community that

truly brought THE MATRIX ONLINE to life.

Thank you.

We hope to find you in another rabbit hole soon…
