- The Blood of Dawnwalker’s director recently claimed that he doesn’t want to make a game featuring a superhero like from Marvel movies.
- However, an RPG protagonist should have some sort of power, so the director decided to take a unique approach.
- Cohen, the game’s main character, will be a normal human during the day and a Vampire during the night, featuring special powers.
A trailer for The Blood of Dawnwalker was released recently, exciting a massive fandom. A lot of information regarding the game was revealed, which you can see by clicking here. The game’s hype has been increasing tremendously, and the developer is making sure it does.
Ever since the reveal, the game’s director, a former CDPR veteran who was also the director for The Witcher 3, has revealed so much information about the upcoming RPG.
Following that the director has passed some comments on the title’s main character. The protagonist features unique traits that may play a key role in the bar of a main character when it comes to RPGs.
Why it matters: RPGs feature different types of protagonists having an arsenal full of different stuff. However, Rebel Wolves is doing something pretty unique and could be revolutionary.
Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, the founder of Rebel Wolves and the director of The Blood of Dawnwalker, claimed in an interview with PCGamer that he doesn’t want to make a game featuring a superhero like there are in Marvel movies.
He said that such stories are hard to make as the protagonist just keeps getting stronger. So, he was looking to make a protagonist grounded and had to solve problems in different ways, but he was also a superhero of some sort. That is how The Blood of Dawnwalker’s main character came into being, potentially setting the bar for a main character in an RPG.
So I created a protagonist who is a human during the day, with all the weaknesses of a human. But at night, you are a vampire, who is stronger and faster, and also has better supernatural powers.
-Konrad Tomaszkiewicz
Cohen, the main character, will be a normal human during the day and a Vampire, featuring superpowers at night. According to Tomaszkiewicz, this concept is well-known in the pop culture but hasn’t been used in games yet.
It surely is a unique trait and would make the game feel a lot different than your average RPG. Tomaszkiewicz thinks that this concept is interesting because no one has ever done it, but this also comes with a risk as people may not like it. However, if it works, it can be revolutionary.
Rebel Wolves consist of former CDPR veterans, and they have some crazy ideas to implement in-game, which they couldn’t have done in a team as massive as in their previous studio.
It seems like they really have some crazy ideas up their sleeves. What do you think about the unique trails of Cohen in The Blood of Dawnwalker? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section below or join the discussion at the official Tech4Gamers forums.
