The gameplay involves dodging debris and flying into the Mega Smith to inflict damage. After finishing off Agent Smith, it cuts the a CG cinematic showing the creation of "Mega Smith." He is made up of all the Agent Smiths in the world and debris from the world. The new ending still places the player fighting as Neo.

Assisted by Morpheus, he manages to avoid the agents, but when the only way to escape his aggressors is to climb out on the roof, he refuses to comply, opting to turn himself in to the Agent. For instance, early in the original Matrix movie, Neo tries to escape from Agent Smith inside of his office building. Most of the scenes in the game are directly inspired by moments in the movie, but some events have been altered slightly to give players more to do.

Shiny Entertainment's second Matrix game and second collaboration with the Wachowski Sisters (who directed and wrote the movies) Path of Neo was specifically designed to address the major complaint with Enter the Matrix: that it featured side characters rather than let players take control of Neo. The Matrix: Path of Neo lets players take control of the titular hero of the Matrix franchise and play through scenarios directly from or inspired by the Matrix trilogy.
