As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I must say that the Unknown 9: Awakening debacle is a stark reminder of the fickle nature of the gaming industry. I’ve seen promising projects crumble into dust before, but this one hits close to home due to its ambitious scope and the impressive talent involved.
The recently released action-adventure game, Unknown 9: Awakening, has unfortunately been a flop. It’s no secret that layoffs have occurred at Reflector Entertainment, the company behind its production.
- The scale of reduction is unknown. The studio officially doesn’t comment on the matter, and we only know about the layoffs because the affected developers started writing about them.
- Among those laid off are designer and screenwriter Anna Karina Bermudez and marketing executive Manou Deneuvel.

It was hoped by both developers and publisher Bandai Namco Entertainment that Unknown 9: Awakening would be a major hit. The aim was to establish a comprehensive “storytelling cosmos” that included not just games, but also comics, novels, podcasts, and TV shows as well. To boost the project’s potential success, Anya Chalotra, famed for her role as Yennefer in Netflix’s The Witcher, was chosen to play the main character of Unknown 9: Awakening.
In the end, it seems that the game didn’t generate any significant results. Despite Bandai Namco not revealing sales data, the game’s activity on Steam shows a dismal 285 concurrent players at peak times. The title has also received unfavorable reviews; according to Metacritic, the PS5 version has an average rating of just 59%, and on Steam, only 45% of players gave it a positive review.
The game titled “Unknown 9: Awakening” made its debut on various platforms including PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and the latest consoles like Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and PlayStation 5 on October 18 this year.
