Unknown 9 Awakening gameplay was shown off at this morning’s Xbox Partner Preview, and we’ve got it here for you to watch.
“Unknown 9 Awakening is a third-person, narrative-driven, action-adventure game that follows the story of Haroona, a Quaestor born with the ability to venture into the Fold: a mysterious dimension that overlaps our own,” Bandai Namco said in an accompanying press release.
“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,” Bandai Namco continued. “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.”
The Witcher‘s Anya Chalotra, who starts in the Netflix TV series as Yennifer, will voice Haroona within Unknown 9 Awakening.
Bandai Namco also explained how this title fits into the “Unknown 9… expansive narrative universe, “which includes a series of interconnected adventures told across comic books, podcasts, novels, and more.”
Update [20 July]: Even more gameplay has been shown off. Today’s new gameplay trailer can be found below. Enjoy!
“Christophe [Rossignol, creative director at Reflector Entertainment] goes over the exploration and different combat playstyles, from the most discreet to the most destructive, making use of the stepping mechanic, where Haroona takes control of her enemies and places them in tactical positions to gain advantage in battle,” Bandai Namco said in a statement accompanying the trailer.
“The video also showcases some locations Haroona will travel to such as the Mauritanian desert or the deep jungle of India, and demonstrates a few early game skills unlocked during a player’s playthrough, giving a new taste of this globetrotting adventure,” Bandai Namco added.
Unknown 9 Awakening launches later this year on Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, PS4, and PS5.
