And the time has come. Epic Games has announced the official release of Unreal Engine 5. Additionally, the team has released The Matrix Awakens’ City, meaning that PC gamers can now experience this amazing city.
The City Sample is a free downloadable sample project that reveals how the city scene fromThe Matrix Awakens: An Unreal Engine 5 Experience was built.
As Epic Games stated:
“The project – which consists of a complete city with buildings, vehicles, and crowds of MetaHuman characters – demonstrates how we used new and improved systems in Unreal Engine 5 to create the experience. In addition to the complete sample, the content is available in separate packs. So, for example, you can download just the vehicles. Three related third-party content packs are also available.”
Alongside this City Sample, Epic Games also released the Lyra Starter Game. Lyra Starter Game is a sample gameplay project built alongside UE5 development to serve as an excellent starting point for creating new games.
You can download The Matrix Awakens’ Megacity Sample from here. You can also download the Lyra Starter Game from here.
Do note that you will need Unreal Engine 5 in order to run these projects. However, I’m certain that someone will compile a standalone version of the Megacity so that everyone can experience it.
Have fun!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

nice pink hair. what a douche
The absolute state of Unreal
The state of him working on the most advanced engine as of now, and you guys commenting it while flaunting your b*tch like insecurities about male hair color. And their sh*t is working i might add, even a studio like CDPR switches to UE5 for their upcoming Witcher 4.
Anyway, if digging in is the way to go in response to this, i got a badass haircut, and a lot of useless junk to sell. Doesn’t make you loser if you buy crap from the guy with full hair. So please.
What is wrong with Zack? He has always made good content for the channel.
If someone finds a compiled version, can you please link it? ?
You can download compiled demo from here 18 GB

“developer Victor Careil has packaged it like a regular game and put it on Google Drive and Mega.nz. I downloaded and scanned the compressed files from Gdrive (can’t be too careful) and yep, it is what Careil promises. You just need to extract Careil’s files (WinRAR will work) and run CitySample.exe to play it” – PC Gamer
PC Gamer article contains link to Mega
You will be constantly hitting the “Transfer Quota Exceeded” limit of Mega. Unless you have a Premium account, you won’t be able to download it from there. Someone needs to upload it to another mirror that doesn’t have any download limits.
Wait… just the city? Not the action scene (car chase) at the beginning? Or the Neo and Trinity characters?
These are most likely prohibited from being publicly distributed on PC, similar to Yakuza Judgement; probably out of fear of being misused in 3D pr0n…
Interesting. Are there examples where this has been stated to be the reason ?
Jap magazines, interviews with the “star” , PR people and some dev team.
Japan is state of stupidy.
I see it as another example where Epic shows what they really think of PC gamers
@disqus_5qbUcbiW68:disqus Not a game– a tech demo. And I’ll bet you’d be the first to rip those models, make a meme & get banned for it.. I’d thank Epic for protecting you.
amazing
City Sample is 86.5 GB. ?
Imagine the size of upcoming open-world (i.e. unnecessarily bloated) videogames!
That’s the project file size of a tech demo before compiling.. and I’ll bet someone’s lacking the 12 cores & 64GB to do it 🙂
“Lyra Starter Game is a sample gameplay project built alongside UE5 development to serve as an excellent starting point for creating new games.”
Does that mean they will stop making walking sims?
Epic never made a walking sim, that’s indie devs and UNITY durrrr -;) seperate your engines from your developers please xD
Omg you know a lot of engines
all i am gonna say is this, how do you know a game uses unreal engine 4 and not some modified unreal engine 3? You dont. So much for improvements.
If you’re not seeing any difference between dx7 and dx12-era engines released 19 years apart you’ll need your eyes checked out -;)
Unreal Engine 3 is Directx 9.0c, not dx7.
How long are you going to keep repeating things you don’t understand lmfao. Every single time UE5 is brought up you paste this same wall of text.
The truth is, you’ve never written a single line of engine code in your life and have no idea how computer graphics works.
GTA V modded with RTGI looks better than this demo if you literally don’t have eyes and like imagining things.
Would rather hang himself than say something smart or positive just once lmao
what sad existence
At this point I’m wondering if he’s trying to troll or something…
RAGE is nice and all, but man he’s being stupid. Also screenspace GI in GTA 5 apparently looks better than real GI. Wow, teach me senpai, I didn’t know that lol.
Unlimited detailed geometry for static meshes and fully raytraced lighting = ‘trash’, apparently. Lol.
You’re a blind fool.
You’re the one that called the demo worse than GTA visually. Nobody expects games to look as good as demos. That’s obvious.
But saying the matrix demo looks worse than GTA V means you’re reaching levels of autism that shouldn’t even theoretically be possible.
Do us all a favor and stop commenting before you embarrass yourself any further.
And pick up a GPU Gems book while you’re at it, they’re a great read on computer graphics.
Did demos in the past look this good?
And did games stay the same graphically over all these years?
Jesus Christ do I have to explain everything to you? The demo is an example of how far we can push visuals in realtime currently and an indication of how good full videogames can look in the future.
This is so utterly basic.
Even if you are right, Unreal will always have the vantage of being a popular engine as happens with the previous generations most games being released under the iron grips of Timmy T. I do love Fox Engine, but apart from MGSV and Konami soccer games (MGSurvive still uncracked it seems), there’s no future for this engine.
Sorry but this is nonsene. Also, calm down a bit will ya
They had a middle-aged t r a n n y on camera and voice-over duty for The Coalition’s tech demo. LMAO. The “silicon” in silicon valley was supposed to refer to computer chips for crying out loud, not plastic surgery sought out by men as a cure to their midlife crisis.
Marketing in the games industry is now about showing unappealing sights and sounds to prove that you are on board with an unappealing political agenda
Not being transphobic challenge impossible difficulty
Being politically correct is for cowards.
It’s called being nice to people you dummy, but maybe you’re the kind of guy who thinks women in videogames is political
It’s called not being an a*shole dummy, but maybe you’re the kind of guy who thinks women in videogames is political
