Unknown 9: Awakening It is positioned as one of Bandai Namco’s big releases for the rest of the year. However, this game, like other similar ones, has faced a mixed response from the community, who do not accept that this adventure is starring a woman, something that Anya Chalotra, the lead actress, does not like.
Chalotra, who you will recognize from her portrayal of Yennefer in the series The Witcherwas interviewed by 3DJuegos, where she was questioned about the negative reception that games starring women have had, as we recently saw with Ghost of Yōtei. This is what the actress commented on the matter:
“It makes me angry that that is the answer just because a woman is the protagonist and not because of something specific about the game. It makes me feel confused. I feel sad about that reality.
I hope that we move forward and that characters like Haroona teach the world how important it is to have strong characters in front of any story, no matter who they are.
I hope Haroona [la protagonista de Unknown 9: Awakening] can teach the world how important it is to have strong characters in any story, no matter who they are.”
Unknown 9: Awakening introduces us to Haroona, a young marginalized girl with a series of special powers that allow her to modify the reality around her. According to the actress, This is an emotional journey, with a big emphasis on people developmentwhich also allows the player to be able to explore a new culture.
Considering that Unknown 9: Awakening It will be available next October 17we will soon know how well or badly this game will do. Let’s just hope her performance doesn’t have to do with the fact that the adventure stars a woman. On related topics, we already had the opportunity to try this juice, and here we tell you more about the title.
Author’s Note:
It’s ridiculous that anyone would get angry over a female protagonist. One of the best aspects of video games, and any work of art, is that they expand our horizons, allowing us to explore unique stories from original perspectives.
