Here’s an overview of the game:

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 expansive narrative universe of the Unknown 9 IP, 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.

Unknown 9: Awakening is now available for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam.
