Travel the world and protect humanity as Haroona, a heroine with mystical powers, and enter a narrative universe expanding into novels, podcasts, comics, and more

 Tap into the powers of the Fold to right the wrongs of Haroona’s past and stop a secret society from taking control of powerful knowledge in the narrative-driven action-adventure game, Unknown 9: Awakening, out now for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.

Published by Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe and developed by Reflector Entertainment, the game is set at the turn of the 20^th century and takes players on a globetrotting mission to prevent the world’s best-kept secrets from falling into the wrong hands. The game’s heroine, Haroona, is portrayed by the talented actress Anya Chalotra in her first video game role.

Unknown 9: Awakening follows the story of Haroona, a Quaestor born with the ability to venture into the Fold: a mysterious dimension that overlaps our own. On her quest for powerful hidden knowledge, she will learn to master her unique connection to the Fold, which allows her to channel its powers into our world. But such power does not go unnoticed. Haroona quickly becomes the target of the Ascendants, a splinter faction of a secret organization known as the Leap Year Society, which wants to use the Fold to alter the course of human history.

Mastering Haroona’s umbric abilities will prove critical to defeating the Ascendants and seeking the revenge the heroine craves.  Players can choose to ambush opponents from the shadows, engage in melee combat, or “step” into foes to take control of their bodies and weapons, and turn them against each other. Haroona can dodge bullets, shield attacks, hurl energy, and perform creative combat combinations to take down whatever stands in the way of securing humankind’s continued existence.

Unknown 9: Awakening is the key entry point into the Unknown 9 IP’s expansive narrative universe, which consists of interconnected standalone stories told across web series, comic books, podcasts, novels and more. Players can extend their Unknown 9: Awakening experience by following these other adventures, and those who know where to look will uncover their share of crossovers, callbacks, secrets and more.
