is voicing Jace Stratton, a new playable character in the upcoming
finale to one of the most celebrated sagas in video games.
In the finale to one of gaming's most recognizable sagas, Epic has
added four player cooperative campaign gameplay, allowing them to bring
characters from the extended "Gears" universe to life.
"Jace is a central character in the comic books, so he was an obvious
choice as a character we wanted to bring into the third game," said
Epic Executive Producer Rod Fergusson. "When we began casting for the
role, 'So Far Gone' had just released, and Drake's combination of heart
and grit was just what we were looking for. Rather than search for
somebody who sounded like him, it was clear that we should approach him
directly. fortunately he turned out to be a huge fan."
