Unknown 9: Awakening, created in collaboration with Sweet Baby Inc, shows disastrous pre-orders for the game

Apparently, the upcoming game Unknown 9: Awakening from the studio Reflector Entertainment and the publishing house Bandai Namco, whose creators are collaborating with Sweet Baby Inc., is experiencing big problems with sales of the game.

Several users shared information from retail sources regarding pre-orders of the game: in 25 US retail stores, some of which are located in densely populated areas, not a single pre-order has been made for the game at all, which, according to the source, is an extremely rare practice.

< p>Digital sales are no better: according to SteamDB, the game is currently in 388th position on the list of most desired games on Steam and 4811th in the list of best-selling games.

Although barely Is this a result that might surprise anyone: after it became known in March of this year that the developers were collaborating with SIB co-founders David Bedard and Kim Belair, who are listed in the game’s credits, the game received a note about this from the curator of Sweet Baby Inc Detected on Steam, after which players en masse began to express their dissatisfaction with the fact that SIB decided to ruin another game, but in response, the developers and publisher only massively destroyed discussions and banned players who mentioned SIB or the presence of an agenda in the game, erasing almost 99% of all discussions.

In the end, the developers managed to achieve their goal: apparently, now almost no one is discussing their game and is not going to buy it in principle, and another failed game in which they had a hand will appear in the SIB portfolio.

Unknown 9: Awakening will be released on October 18 on PC, PS4, Xbox One, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
