Friday’s Gamescom Opening Night Live saw game developers Reflector Entertainment revealing the first looks on their upcoming AAA title, Unknown 9: Awakening. The third-person narrative-driven action-adventure game will revolve around a girl named Harona who struggled all her childhood in the streets of Kolkata, India.
Unknown 9 is a “storyworld” by Reflector Entertainment which will include novels, books, podcasts, and games set in the real world but focusing on “ancient mysteries, secret societes, and deadly rivalries.”
The teaser trailer for Unknown 9: Awakening shows a girl who is presumably Haroona hiding something behind a wall when she gets attacked by a group of children. She falls to the ground and just when one of the children is about to hit her with a stick, she seems to phase out of the real world while emitting a strange shockwave. After moving out of the line of the attack, she appears back. Towards the end of the trailer, we could see two hands removing the brick from the wall behind which the girl had hidden the object.
An official summary given by Reflector Entertainment regarding the game says, “Raised on the streets of Kolkata, India and haunted by visions of her own death, Haroona struggles to understand her mysterious innate abilities to manipulate the unseen. A mentor soon helps Haroona hone her gifts, teaches her to access the mysterious hidden dimension known as the Fold and propels her on a journey to unlock the mysteries of this new realm.”
Here’s the first teaser trailer of Awakening:
Only a few months ago, another AAA game set in ancient India was announced. Raji: An Ancient Epic is an action-adventure game that is set to be released in November 2020. The story of the game will revolve around Raji, a young girl who finds herself in the middle of a war when she’s chosen by the gods to defend the human race in a battle against the demon king Mahabalasura.
