John Gaeta confirms in 2021 an "Animatrix 2.0" series was written and "Awakens"/UE-based proofs of concept were created for VR-type of storytelling

If you want some past history on what we know about the "Animatrix 2.0" and "Gelato" VR projects: https://www.reddit.com/r/matrix/comments/rgadup/the_animatrix_20_origins_of_the_matrix_animatrix/ & https://www.reddit.com/r/matrix/comments/nyvcsr/john_gaeta_confirms_his_involvement_with_matrix_4/ (and linked threads within those threads).

At some point WSJ also confirmed the development of "offshoots" in collaboration with Lana: https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-matrix-changed-visual-effects-now-resurrections-pivots-to-reality-11640174408

He makes a cameo in “The Matrix Resurrections” with Mr. Gaeta, who has also been working with Ms. Wachowski to develop potential offshoots for the “Matrix” franchise.

But finally, Gaeta revealed some details recently here:

During 2021 while we were making Awakens, there was a parallel development effort under the code named Gelato.

High fidelity UE based proofs were created to illustrate building out new stories that could double within an immersive world / xr counterpart.

The Awakens city was to be the sandbox for both.

Unknown known: A full series/animated feature was written (very well). Title : O is for Origin (aka Animatix 2.0)

Question: Should Discovery / WB ever evolve The Matrix into a 21st Century immersive world ?

Well, what do you say?
