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. 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.
As Haroona’s quest unfolds, players can choose whether to ambush opponents from the shadows, engage in melee combat, or fight by “stepping” into their enemies’ physical bodies through the fold and turning them on other foes. Haroona can dodge bullets, shield attacks, hurl energy, and devise creative combat combinations to dispense multiple attackers as she fights to avenge her fallen mentor. Mastering Haroona’s umbric powers will be the key in her fight against the Ascendants to save all of humanity.
UNKNOWN 9: AWAKENING is the key entry point into the UNKNOWN 9 IP’s expansive narrative universe, which includes a series of interconnected standalone adventures told across comic books, podcasts, novels and more. Players will be able to extend their UNKNOWN 9: AWAKENING experience by enjoying these tales. Those who know where to look will uncover their share of crossovers, callbacks, secrets and more.
