Bandai Namco Holdings announced on November 10 that it will dissolve and liquidate Reflector Entertainment, the Canada-based studio behind Unknown 9: Awakening. The company acquired the developer in September 2020 to expand its console game portfolio for Western markets. Following a review of business plans and profitability, the decision was made to close the studio. This move follows previous restructuring efforts in 2024, which included layoffs after the title failed to meet expectations. Bandai Namco anticipates an extraordinary loss of 21 million euros from the termination.
