Gears of War E-Day return teased by Cole Train actor

by

The Coalition’s upcoming Gears of War: E-Day returns to the series’ action-horror roots with a cinematic prequel focusing on Emergence Day, humanity’s first interaction with the subterranean Locust.

The new prequel to the game series might not give much attention to other characters, but Lester Speight, who plays Augustus ‘Cole Train’ Cole, has hinted at the potential return of Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago.

Is Cole Train in Gears of War: E-Day?

Yesterday, Speight unexpectedly posted an image of the Gears of War: E-Day cover art on their Twitter page.

The tweet, lacking a caption, sparked enthusiastic speculation among fans, suggesting that the beloved Hears character might make a comeback in the upcoming prequel.

At this point in the Gears of War timeline, Augustus Cole is not a member of the C.O.G. military. Instead, the character is still a Thrashball player until the death of his family inspires him to take the fight to the Locust horde.

The prequel likely won’t include the return of Damon Baird, the final member of Delta Team, either as the character is an engineering student at the time of Emergence Day. For more on both of these characters’ early days, that’s what Judgement was for.

With this in mind, it seems that Cole Train may either appear in the form of a cameo, or as a multiplayer character. After all, Cole has appeared in some form in every game in the series including Gears POP and Gears Tactics. 

Not much is known about the upcoming Gears of War: E-Day title except for its premise. With the game likely releasing in late 2006, potentially coinciding with the original game’s 20th anniversary, it’ll be a while until we see the game again.
