Unknown 9 is more than a game and there is a new trailer to prove it
Bandai Namco have been doing a decent job at showing off Unknown 9: Awakening, which is out this October, but beyond that the world of Unknown 9 covers comics, novels and more. Check out the trailer that highlights the larger universe below.
The first chapter in the saga is the game Awakening and tells the story of Haroona, you can see gameplay and more from that game here. But while this might be the starting point timeline wise, you can start anywhere you like.
This is the full breakdown of all the current parts that together make up the world of Unknown 9:
Unknown 9: Awakening | Videogame
The Leap Year Society (LYS) is a cornerstone of our narrative universe. The game gives you a snapshot of their state 100+ years ago, leaving you with more questions than answers—a fitting introduction to a secret society!
Unknown 9: Out of Sight | Podcast
After playing the video game, try listening to season one of the podcast. Without spoiling anything, you’d know that in the modern day, the LYS is hyper-secretive. They are keen observers of the paranormal, adept at intelligence gathering and trickery. To seek them out is to plunge into a world of weird surprises.
Unknown 9: The Genesis Trilogy | Novel
If the novel trilogy is the next stop on your journey, you’ll notice the LYS starts to gain a lot of nuance. There will still be many questions about them, but you get a sense that, as an organization, they wield a lot of power and strive to make the smartest, most ethical choices. However, when the future of humanity is at stake, sometimes moral compromises must be made.
Unknown 9: Torment | Comic
Finally, reading the comic book series will give you the most illuminating glimpses behind the scenes of the LYS. Jaden Crowe is caught up in their orbit right from Issue #1, just as the group announces their existence to the world. You’ll gain insight into their inner workings and ongoing rivalry with the Ascendants, and learn more about the founder of the Ascendants, Vincent.
You can find out more about each part of the world of Unknown 9 on the official site.
