Bandai Namco and Reflector Entertainment have released Unknown 9: Awakening, a third‑person action‑adventure game for PC and current consoles. The title stars Anya Chalotra, known for her portrayal of Yennefer in the Netflix adaptation of The Witcher. The game invites players into a cinematic journey where supernatural powers meet mind‑bending exploration across a richly crafted world.
In the story, players follow Haruna, a young seeker with the rare ability to inhabit a mysterious dimension called the Fold. From this plane she can enter the minds of enemies, subdue their powers, and influence the course of battles. The setup frames encounters as puzzles where timing, perception, and strategy decide the outcome.
Gameplay blends stealth and spectacle. Haruna can dodge bullets, turn invisible, and unleash shadow energy to strike from the shadows. The Fold opens up unusual powers that rewrite combat rules, letting players bypass defenses or reshape the battlefield. The world is threaded with secrets, inviting exploration of ruins, shifting deserts, and hidden sanctuaries.
Fans will glimpse some of the most enigmatic corners of the world through the game’s design. Players might walk the sands of a Mauritania‑like landscape, trek through a perilous Indian jungle, and wander a Portuguese Gothic quarter from the 19th century—each locale contributing mood, lore, and atmosphere to the adventure.
Known platforms include Steam for PC and the PlayStation Store for PS4 and PS5, as well as the Xbox Store for Xbox One and the Xbox Series family. Pricing varies by region and storefront, so players should check their local store for current numbers and bundles.
