Unknown 9: Awakening was shown in a teaser trailer during gamescom Opening Night Live. The game represents the “tentpole of a much larger content ecosystem” that is being built around the Unknown 9 Storyworld. Set to release in 2021, the game is a third-person, narrative-driven, action-adventure game featuring a protagonist named Haroona, who has Fold abilities. Here’s the more: Raised on the streets of Kolkata, India and haunted by visions of her own death, Haroona struggles to understand her mysterious innate abilities to manipulate the unseen. A mentor soon helps Haroona hone her gifts, teaches her to access the mysterious hidden dimension known as The Fold and propels her on a journey to unlock the mysteries of this new realm. The broader Unknown 9 universe features interconnected media and content offerings with intersecting characters and storylines that form a rich and immersive Storyworld - including a mystery-thriller novel by bestselling author Layton Green entitled Unknown 9: Genesis, an original podcast called Unknown 9: Out of Sight, and a comic book, Unknown 9: Torment. These various offerings are all standalone products, but when experienced as a whole, they form a broader narrative and lead to a greater appreciation of the mysterious Unknown 9 universe. Ahead of the game’s release in 2021, you can delve into the Unknown 9 Storyworld by visiting the official website. More information will be revealed at a later date.
