Gears of War: E-Dayis bringing back John DiMaggio and Carlos Ferro to once again star as Marcus Fenix and Dominic “Dom” Santiago, respectively, developer The Coalition has confirmed.
DiMaggio and Ferro first starred in the original Gears of War way back in 2006, which is somehow 18 years ago now. Given that the next mainline entry,Gears of War: E-Day, is a prequelset 14 years before the events of the first game, it wasn’t entirely clear whether we’d get to hear DiMaggio and Ferro’s iconic voice lines again, but thankfully that’s now been confirmed in a tweet from The Coalition.
“We are so back,” reads the tweet, which was shared in celebration of the Gears of War series' 18th anniversary.
Gears of War: E-Day is an origin story that takes place across several days and explores the long-running series' Emergence Day event, in which the Locust Horde rose from its underground civilization and invaded the Earth-like planet of Sera, killing billions of people and igniting the Locust War that’s been a backdrop to each Gears game’s narrative.
