If you can't think of one, a deuteragonist or tritagonist will work as well. You cannot say a game that has already been said. I'll start: Returnal.

looking through my collection - Weird West.

potentially Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, but Antea looks more like she might be in her 30s.

Depends on what you consider middle age. In jrpgs 30 year olds are elderly lol.

maybe Uncharted: Lost Legacy.

Chloe and Nadine are probably around Drake's age.

Jesse is only 32, dunno if I'd call that middle aged.

Jedi Fallen Order has Cere Junda as the deuteragonist. I'd go so far as to say she should have been the protagonist.

The term middle-aged is subjectively defined. For a woman, with an average life expectancy of 76, middle-age should logically be 38, with a +/- added in there. Even if were going to divide the life stages into segments, lets say 4, and only start middle-aged at 38, you would be looking at youth from 0-19, adult at 20-38, middle-age at 39-57, elderly at 58-76.

That being said, the EU player character in KotOR2 is likely on the high end of adult or low end of middle-age.
One of the primary protagonist NPCs for SW:ToR is middle-age (Satele Shan).
Fran is one of the protagonists in FFXII and is middle-age (or older, but non-human, so she qualifies or doesnt depending on your intent).
Ana from Overwatch is just past middle-age by my definition (60-62) but may meet the definition of others.

I honestly dont play many games with a single protagonist, so its hard for me to list any examples like that. But these came to mind when running through some regular games for me. I would definitely say that games tend to be marketed towards the younger adult or older youth crowd though, and as such protagonists represent that age range.

Sorry if Im off on my definition of protagonist, these other terms you offered are new to me.

They just mean second and third-most important characters after the protagonist. Like in Harry Potter, Ron and Hermione would be the deuteragonist and tritagonist.

I see. How do these terms apply to multi character games? Is it possible to use them at all? Or does it just come down to the debate of whos the main like the common FFVI example?

She cheats with that 'I was frozen so my body's still like 25 even if I'm technically 55' kinda crap.

Doubtful. She's only 21 in SOR1, SOR4 takes place 10 years after 3. I don't think 3 took place more than a handful of years after 2 (which itself is only a year after 1). She's probably like 35, tops.
