I’m pleased to announce that Kit plays Admiral Salen Kotch. He’s the leader of the Settlement Defense Front’s fleet, at the helm of their biggest ship, the Olympus Mons.

"It’s a classic war story in a different setting, naval warfare with two captains dueling it out in the reaches of space. Kotch is the most skilled “sailor” of the SDF, so you (as Reyes) are up against a guy with a ton of experience who has a vendetta against your entire way of life," said Kurosaki.

“You’ve also just been thrust into the role of leadership, and the enemy is ostensibly a massive threat – better skilled and has a larger fleet. They also have a massive, dangerous ship (the Olympus Mons) hunting you throughout the story," he added.

Kurosaki also mentioned that his team had to shift to London for a while for Harington's motion capture as Harington was in the city working on a theater production.

"So the IW team travelled to London to shoot with Kit because he’s currently in a theater production there for the rest of the summer. We were able to finish everything for the role over the course of about a week, and the team is really excited with his performance, and how he’s looking in-game," said Kurosaki.
