The Significance of Emergence Day
Emergence Dayin the Gears' universe was the first large attack from the Locust Horde,which makes this prequel particularly impactful. We’ll see what led to the gruesome reality of the soldiers we play throughout the franchise.
Although not much has been shown about this game, and not even a release date has been shared yet, this is yet another strong sign that E-Day is going to be extremely faithful to the original and trying to capture the charm that gamers fell in love with.
With how distinct the voices of characters like Marcus Fenix are throughout the series, we’re glad to see them make a return. In combination with the recentE-Day trailerthat follows similarities to theinfamous Mad World trailer,there’s a lot of excitement that this is a return to form for Gears.
Actor John DiMaggio earned massive recognition for work across industries, with roles like Bender from Futurama andJake the Dogfrom Adventure Time. Additionally, Carlos Ferro has appeared in many hard-hitting franchises likeAssassin’s CreedandUncharted.

There Was No Guarantee DiMaggio Would Return
An interesting thing to remember is how popular voice actors' roles are often sidelined by someone else, like theBayanetta Voice Actress, who was recast.
After being dismayed with a less-than-expected paycheck, Marcus' voice actor, John DiMaggio, even had difficultyreturning to Futuramafor the reboot. This makes it all the more exciting that his respected talents are brought back for Gears.
With these voice actors striking up notable roles in one of Xbox’s most impactful franchises,we celebrate their return and, at this point, have high hopes for E-Day and the future of Gears projects.
