Unknown9: Awakening will be released in 2024.
That's according to Singapore's rating classification board, which recently rated the action-adventure game as suitable for players aged 16 and upwards and revealed the as-yet-unannounced release year will be 2024.
Unknown9 was originally due to launch in 2021 for PC, PlayStation and Xbox, although interestingly, Singapore's Infocomm Media Development Authority has only listed it as coming to Asia on PS4 and PS5.
Leaker Kurakasis notes that «this board sometimes doesn't include Xbox and PC version ratings on their website, so it's uncertain if those are still coming. The PS4 is surprising».
The 16+ rating was given due to some «crude language», and «moderate violence», which includes scenes of electrocution, stabbing, and other «realistic but not excessively graphic violence with depictions of blood».

Reflector Entertainment, developer of the upcoming Unknown9: Awakening, was snapped up by Bandai Namco shortly after the game was announced.
The Montreal-based studio released its first teaser for Unknown9 during Gamescom's Opening Night Live back in 2020. It showed a young girl using some kind of special power to escape from an enemy on the streets of an unnamed city.
Reflector is a new studio which has recruited 120 staff from the bustling AAA game development scene in Montreal. It has big ambitions for Unknown9 as a franchise, with a book trilogy, podcast episodes and comic books planned.
While Starfield was heavily criticized by many, the game managed to become quite popular in the months following its release.
Excitement surrounding Metal Gear Tactics was high when it was first announced in 2021, but the wait for the turn-based strategy RPG has dragged on longer than many had expected. Originally set to release in 2022, the game ended up being delayed to 2023, but with no updates having been shared on it or its release since then, a delay has been looking increasingly inevitable.
Blizzard have revealed their approximate update plans for the next year of arthouse oddity World Of Warcraft, which if I remember correctly is a "massively multiple-player" experience of some antiquity that involves Orcs - a kind of always-online Baldur's Gate, if you will, or a strictly fantasy-themed Fortnite with dungeons instead of forts. Seems far-fetched, but let's roll with it.
Sony has privately described Microsoft's $68.7bn takeover of Activision Blizzard as a potential «leapfrog» moment for its long-term console rival to take the lead.
Many fans of Baldur’s Gate 3 were expecting the game to launch on Xbox Game Pass; Larian has now confirmed that the game is worth the price it is set at and will not be coming to the subscription service.
The fierce battle for streaming rights rages on, and it looks like Disney+ has conquered when it comes to acquiring exclusivity on Hideo Kojima’s hotly anticipated documentary. Announced a little while ago – and premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival this summer – Hideo Kojima: Connecting Worlds is scheduled to release globally Spring 2024.
God of War Ragnarok’s hotly anticipated free DLC expansion Valhalla, due out later today, will add more Trophies to the game – although they’ll be listed separately from the campaign, so you won’t need to worry about them if you haven’t earned the Platinum just yet. Writing on Twitter, game director Mihir Sheth confirmed the tidbit.
Via Twitter, Square Enix has announced that the latest in the SaGa series, SaGa: Emerald Beyond, will launch on April 25, 2024. It’s coming to Switch, PS4, PS5, Steam, iOS, and Android.
Apple recently seeded the release candidate build of iOS 17.2, iPadOS 17.2, and additional updates to developers. The update packs many bug fixes and performance enhancements that all compatible iPhone models need. Other than the necessary fixes, iOS 17.2 will also bring a boatload of significant features, which the company announced at its WWDC 2023 event. If unsure, check out when Apple will release the final iOS 17.2 update for all compatible iPhone models.
As revealed in the Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer, the GTA 6 map is huge and filled to the brim, making it ripe for hilarious multiplayer antics — so today we’ll be trying to answer the questions, «Will GTA 6 have online, and will it be cross-play?»
Right now, all eyes are on the recently-released Grand Theft Auto 6, and given the fact that the game isn’t even out until 2025, that’s going to continue to be the case for the foreseeable future. Rockstar does, however, have another major, blockbuster IP in its stable in the form of Red Dead Redemption 2, and the actor who played its protagonist is sure that we’ll see a third game in the Wild West franchise at some point in the future as well.
Yakuza series developer RGG Studio has confirmed that the Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name's English dub will arrive sometime this month as a free update.
