Released on October 17, 2024, Unknown 9 Awakening emerged without significant media attention in France, as Bandai Namco Entertainment did not distribute press codes for testing. The making-of content now offers a glimpse into the development process, featuring actress Anya Chalotra, known for her role as Yennefer in Netflix’s “The Witcher” series, who portrays Haroona in the game. In motion capture attire, she discusses her involvement in this multimedia project that includes podcasts, comic books, web series, and novels. The behind-the-scenes feature highlights contributions from all key personnel; however, both critics and players have already shared their opinions: it is considered one of the worst games of the year, with a Metacritic score averaging 59% from critics and 1.7/10 from player reviews, indicating widespread disappointment.
