Dawnwalker Reveals Main Character Cohen Isn't a Superhero
Not Your Average Hero
Jakub Szamalek, the narrative director and lead writer for Dawnwalker, discusses their newest character, Cohen. Unlike typical video game protagonists, Cohen enters the story at the beginning of his journey. He's not a weathered veteran. Instead, Cohen is young, emotionally open, and genuine about his experiences. This fresh take on a protagonist offers room for growth and vulnerability, making him fun to develop and write.
Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, CEO of Rebel Wolves and game director, emphasizes Cohen's human nature. He will never be a superhero or possess super strength. Cohen can wield a sword and explore dark magic, but he's always at risk, underscoring the game's grounded approach to character development.
