Bandai Namco reveals story details for Unknown 9: Awakening


Action-adventure game created by Reflector Entertainment studio




Bandai Namco and Reflector Entertainment have provided more information on the story and setting behind Unknown 9: Awakening, their new narrative-focused third-person action-adventure game, through a new trailer shown at Summer Game Fest.

The video features the protagonist Haroona, played by British actress Anya Chalotra, and her journey around the world. Controlled by players, she is a mysterious policewoman born with the ability to draw power from another dimension, who aims to avenge her mentor’s death and save humanity.

In the trailer it is shown that Haroona has always relied on the teachings of her mentor Reika to master the abilities related to the Fold, a mysterious dimension that overlaps with ours. Ever since Haroona was a child, Reika has trained her in the intricacies of this other dimension, teaching her about the mysterious and unknown elements of the world and often telling her stories of enigmatic immortal figures who are said to dispense all of humanity’s knowledge: the Unknown 9.

His entire training came to an abrupt end the moment Vincent Lichter decided to take Reika’s life. As leader of the Ascended, Vincent believes that the 9 Unknowns have prevented humanity from reaching its true potential for too long. A former student of Reika, Vincent is committed to ridding the world of their influence, ensuring that humanity takes control of its own destiny, regardless of the consequences.

His betrayal has taken a toll on Haroona, making it his mission when the game launches in late 2024 for PC, Playstation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
