The development studio behind the ambitious Unknown 9 franchise, which combined elements from Assassin’s Creed and Tomb Raider, has decided to cancel further development. The decision follows the disappointing performance of the initial video game released last year, which did not meet the studio’s expectations or justify any further investment in the series.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
The cessation of the Unknown 9 franchise is a clear reminder of the high stakes and challenges in game development, particularly for transmedia projects. Despite the promising concept of blending Assassin’s Creed and Tomb Raider elements, the execution evidently fell short. This outcome emphasizes the importance of thorough market research, audience engagement, and iterative development processes in delivering products that meet both creative visions and player expectations.
