Bandai Namco were on hand at the recent Summer Game Showcase 2024, where they revealed a new story trailer for their upcoming game Unknown 9: Awakening, check it out.

The trailer highlights Haroona’s reason for her quest, and introduces a few friendly and perhaps not so friendly faces along the way. While Haroona relied on her beloved mentor Reika’s teaching to help her master her unique Fold-related abilities, ever since she was a child. For years, the training that she was given focused on the intricacies of this other dimension, the ways of the world, and often recounted tales of enigmatic immortal figures said to preside over all of humanity’s knowledge — the Unknown 9.

Unfortunately, all this training came to a sudden halt the moment Vincent Lichter decided to take Reika’s life. Believing the Unknown 9 have kept humanity from realising its true potential for far too long, the leader of the Ascendants and former pupil of Reika’s has committed himself to freeing the world of their influence once and for all.

The game is just one part of the Unknown 9 story, there is more connected to books and comics. The game itself is the core for now and will release sometime this Spring, but no exact date has been released. When it does release it will hit PC, PlayStation and Xbox.
