Reflector Entertainment debuted a new trailer for Unknown 9: Awakening, its mysterious action-adventure announced in 2020. Not only is it coming to Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, but it’s launching this Summer. Check out the first gameplay below.
Players control Haroona, who possesses powerful abilities tied to the Fold, like a barrier that stops bullets and leaping into and controlling her enemies. You can play stealthy, engage in full-blown combat or combine the two while mixing some abilities in.
Haroona is looking for revenge after a “life-changing loss”, but it quickly becomes a “globetrotting journey, uncovering powerful hidden knowledge.” She’ll eventually battle the Ascendants, led by Vincent Lichter, and stop them from utilizing the Fold for their own purposes.
Published by Bandai Namco, Unknown 9: Awakening is seemingly a “gateway to the larger narrative world of Unknown 9, a universe encompassing a set of interconnected stories told across different media formats. The game’s lore seeps into every tale set within this world.” How that will pan out over the long term remains to be seen but Reflector has “dedicated much time to ironing out specific details and features to get the overarching story and its resulting experience just right.”
Unknown 9: Awakening will receive more details before its launch this Summer, so stay tuned for more gameplay over the coming months.
