Reflector Entertainment has been awarded Best Announcement at Gamescom 2020 for their teaser trailer debut of Unknown 9: Awakening at this year’s virtual conference. The trailer for the game has been met with excitement online – also teasing an ambitious, larger Unknown 9 storyworld that the studio has teased with the launch of a novel, comicbook and podcast. In support of the launch of this mysterious new storyworld, the studio has made IP Producer Alexis Ottier and IP Narrative Director Tomas Street both available for interviews to discuss the game and larger universe.
In anticipation of the game’s release in 2021, fans can delve into the Unknown 9 Storyworld by visiting unknown9.com where they can participate in Unknown 9: Chapters, an interactive, community-driven experience, created by Montreal studio Alice & Smith, that lets fans decipher mysteries of the Unknown 9 universe. They will also gain access to parts of the novel, podcast, & comic book for free for a limited time.
The broader Unknown 9 universe features interconnected media and content offerings with intersecting characters and storylines that form a rich and immersive Storyworld – including a mystery-thriller novel by bestselling author Layton Green entitled Unknown 9: Genesis, an original podcast called Unknown 9: Out of Sight, and a comic book, Unknown 9: Torment. These various offerings are all standalone products, but when experienced as a whole, they form a broader narrative and lead to a greater appreciation of the mysterious Unknown 9 universe.
