Gatekeeper: A security feature of macOS designed to ensure that only trusted applications run on a Mac computer. Normally, when an app is downloaded through a web browser, Gatekeeper will either confirm the software is from a verified developer or immediately flag it as suspicious.
Why are you telling an enquirer to bypass Gatekeeper?

Right-click or command-click on the file and choose “open”. That will allow you to bypass Gatekeeper. You should probably contact Unity and let them know that Apple hasn’t gone out of business yet. Apple is still releasing new versions of the operating system and everything.

Apple’s dialog does include the web site where they downloaded the file from. As long as that looks plausible, it is probably fine.
In any event, a future version of macOS will not run unsigned files at all. I don’t know when Apple is going to implement that, but they have been getting quite aggressive with these security mitigations lately. All those Mac developers than only check the Apple web site every 3 or 4 years are going to be in quite a pickle. They might even have to resort to clicking a button! But I’m sure they’ll rant about it on social media for a few weeks first.
Follow the steps in Apple's Safely open apps on your Mac article. This will get you around this dialog.
This is a Private Message I posted to Crucial's Facebook Messenger recently:-
The OP should also contact Unity and ask them to look for an e-mail from Apple circa October 2018, maybe review some Apple WWDC videos from June, and, I don't know, try it in Catalina?
