Fans continue to wonder about multiple things regardingE-Day,from what sort of game it will be liketo what characters and story will unfold through it all.
Gears of War: E-Day Needs to Avoid Repeating the Mistakes of Previous Games And Ensure 1 Mission Stays Gone
When it comes to the characters, it has now been seemingly confirmed that one of the most popular non-game characters of the saga, Carlos Benedicto Santiago, will be a part of the story.
However, while it is a major piece of information, some are wondering just howThe Coalitionis planning to fit the guy intoE-Day, considering how he sacrificed his life during the Battle of Aspho Fields.
Most within the community agree, given how the game will begin right at the end of the Pendulum Wars, we will see Carlos right at the beginning of the game, with his death and Marcus hiding the circumstances of his demise from Dom marking the start of the story itself.
Whatever the case may be, it is admittedly lovely to see The Coalition paying its respects to one of the most significant characters in theGears of Warsaga.
There Is a Reason Why Carlos’ Inclusion in Gear of War E-day Matters to the Fans
While it’s clear thatNostalgia for the original trilogy will serve as this game’s base, let’s take a refresher to understand why Carlos’ inclusion has so many fans, both excited and emotional.

You see, Carlos holds a special place in the hearts ofGears of Warfans, particularly for his role as Marcus Fenix’s steadfast friend and protector since childhood. Not only did his decision to enlist in the COG inspire Marcus and Dom, but his heroic nature, courage, and selflessness made Marcus into the man he became even 14 years later.
His sacrifice impacted everyone around him, and it will most likely be the key motivator for both Marcus and Dom as they face off against Locusts for the first time inGears of War: E-Day.
That said, one can hope that The Coalition’s upcoming game does justice to this excellent character and his legacy. With all the promisesE-Dayis making, they might pull it off.
