Synopsis:

What if WWII had an unseen battle of magic and monsters raging beneath it? Soldier: Unknown drops you right into that scenario. Broken in war and resurrected by arcane forces, a mechanical super soldier turns on his creators to protect an innocent child amid the chaos of 1944 Europe.

Born from a graphic novel and written as the narrative foundation for an upcoming tactical RPG video game, this isn't just an audio drama—it's an interactive world coming to life. Across 13 cinematic episodes, immersive sound design and rich audio production conjure a realm where fairy folk roam war-torn villages, mid-century science meets mythic creatures, and history itself pulses with dark magic. The result is a genre-blending adventure that feels like a film unfolding in your headphones—except you're not just listening to the story, you're experiencing the blueprint for the game you'll eventually play.

Soldier: Unknown - Act 1 Trailer

Wed, 21 May 2025 11:27:23 GMT

War-torn France, 1944. A prototype German war machine is shot-down from the sky—crashing into the countryside. Two otherworldly scavengers pull him from the crater. What follows isn't rescue. It's ignition.

Not long after, he finds a child.

Alone in the ruins. Surrounded by death.

She doesn't scream. She reaches for him.

And from that moment on, he doesn’t leave her side.

As the lines between history and myth begin to blur, he’s swept into a journey across occupied Europe—escorted by a fallen fairy, a talking pancake with a sword, a distinguished insectoid knight, and a swamp assassin who’d rather eat than talk. Trailing behind them: a shell-shocked American with a rifle, too many questions, and nowhere else to go.

Together, they march toward a queen in a realm unseen to mankind.

The engines of war are turning.

The past is waking up.

And something is very wrong with the world.
