Due to SEGA's recent distribution change in Germany, it was imperative that the German market was fully prepared for a successful release to hit Europe's key PC territory.

For SEGA Europe Ltd and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment to launch on a simultaneous basis throughout Europe, we would therefore like to confirm that The Matrix Online for PC, will release across Europe on Friday 15th April 2005.

As a result of the new release date, the European pre-order beta period will be extended. European players who have successfully registered a preorder key will have until 11:59 PM PST on April 15, 2005 to register their accounts with a retail CD key to avoid any interruption in their service.
