I follow gaming news pretty closely and I've never even heard of this one. Wouldn't be surprised if the low engagement, at least in part, comes down to poor marketing.
Same here, and frankly, what kind of title is “Unknown 9: Awakening” supposed to be? That reads like an internal Codename they forgot to change pre-release:
It's part of a transmedia push. It started with a podcast, and they were pushing out a video game, a comic book, and I think a TV show? So they're trying to keep everything a part of the same brand that hasn't had time to breathe yet, perhaps rushing out the video game.
I remember it from one of the recent game conferences, but basically only because of the actress that played in the Witcher show too. Pretty much forgot about it immediately.
