'Unknown 9: Awakening' Casting Director Is A Woke DEI Activist!

Jessica Jefferies, the casting director for Unknown 9: Awakening, is a staunch advocate for casting based on race and sexual orientation in video games and film!

Reflector Entertainment, developers of the poorly received Unknown 9: Awakening, are currently experiencing mass layoffs after their debut title landed with a thud. As originally discovered by SmashJT, several people who were once gainfully employed by Reflector have now posted on their LinkedIn pages that they are no longer working at the studio and are open for new job opportunities. This is obviously not the result that Reflector was hoping for, as Unknown 9 was supposed to be a massive franchise spanning sequels, books and merchandise for many years to come.

While many people have pointed to the involvement of Sweet Baby Inc’s Kim Belair as the key reason that this title failed, there were other legitimate criticisms that undercut this game’s chances of succeeding. The gameplay trailers did this game no favors, as the combat looked stiff, remedial, and reminiscent of PlayStation 2 titles. Add into that the poor attempt at capturing the beauty and likeness of Anya Chalotra as the title’s playable character, and it’s no wonder that this game seemed to release with little to no fanfare.

While it was previously revealed that Anya Chalotra, who played the sorceress Yennefer on Netflix’s The Witcher series, was offered the role in Unknown 9: Awakening without actually having to audition, seemingly no one has been asking the more important question; who actually offered her the role? Most probably assumed that Kim Belair had something to do with Ms. Chalotra being cast to star in Reflector’s debut game, as both her and Anya are “women of color,” the latter previously praising Unknown 9 for it’s diverse cast of characters.
