Congratulations operator, you’ve been cleared for active duty.

You can watch the reveal trailer below, but remember: if anyone asks, this briefing never happened.

In Burn-9, you’re not the super soldier kicking down doors or dangling from helicopters at sunset. No, you’re the person in the chair, the voice in the headset, the stressed-out operator trying to keep your first black-ops mission from collapsing into a terrible global incident.

We open in the cold reaches of the Antarctic, where a top-secret military research facility has suddenly gone dark. An elite team of cybertically-enhanced super soldiers is sent to investigate, and you’ll be their eyes in the sky. Details are scarce, but at least one thing is clear: the facility houses something called “Burn-9”, and your superiors are willing to risk their best soldiers to secure it. Mere minutes into the mission, the helicopter is shot down. Dodo is the sole survivor… and you’re her only lifeline.

To assist Dodo, you’ll monitor surveillance feeds, gather intelligence, hack security systems, uncover buried secrets, and make impossible calls while military leadership breathes down your neck. No pressure.

Well, constant pressure, actually.

As the team’s Operator, you’re physically safe behind your computer screen - but the pressure is relentless. Caught between the demands of the top brass and the reality on the ground, every piece of intel you gather becomes a decision: what to share, what to hold back, and who to trust.

You’ll also have access to some very expensive military toys. We're talking surveillance systems, hacking tools, security breaches, and network infiltration. All the fun stuff that definitely doesn’t exist in real life and absolutely shouldn’t be investigated further. Please stop looking at us like that.

What really drew us to Burn-9 is the tension running through every part of it. This is a game about control, obedience, paranoia, and the uncomfortable reality of being the one who decides what happens next. You’re helping complete the mission, but the deeper you go, the harder it becomes to ignore what the mission is actually asking of you or who it’s asking you to become.
