Unknown 9: Awakening developer Reflector Entertainment has deemed its first game as a failure and has canceled a future project, resulting in layoffs.
"This decision correlates directly with the failure of the studio's ambitious and courageous first project, a new IP with a rich transmedia universe," said Reflector Entertainment CEO and Bandai Namco Europe CCO Herve Hoerdt in a statement on LinkedIn.
