According to a review of a portion to this unreleased (as of November 2004) computer game based on the movie trilogy, a new section of this online game will be released that is titled The Archive: "As was hinted at already, the Archive is much more than a PvP arena; it is a remnant from a much older version of the Matrix. It contains valuable secrets for those strong enough to seize them. In this particular situation, strength is measured by the ability to survive massive conflict, not only with rival Organizations, but with the Archivists themselves, who will fiercely guard their order's secrets." ("The Matrix Online: Player vs. Player combat revealed," Game Announcements,  Gameinfowire.com, November 10, 2004, http://www.gameinfowire.com/news.asp?nid=5383).
