An ad for Anime Las Vegas has an oddity that we'll sit and see if anything comes out of it.

It lists Brian Drummond as playing WezenGammamon, who is of course, unique to Ghost Game. And Ghost Game has no announced dub.

Of course, if he were playing Wezen, you'd expect with a new cast you'd have the same actor play all the Gammamons. There was one fan cast list with random names that wanted him playing Wezen, and only Wezen, so one wonders if the social media team for the con saw that, and tossed it up without checking, as there are some other mistakes...

Update- Brian Drummond has said he is at Anime Las Vegas, but nothing to do with Digimon.


Most notably that they advertise this as the largest collection of Digimon cast at a con/event ever, which absolutely isn't true. The lineup of 11 actors they give isn't even the largest in 2023 (with a larger event a few weeks ago having a number of the same people in fact.)

Another potential mistake is listing David Vincent as playing Machinedramon. It's possible he was uncredited in a game, but he isn't credited as Machinedramon in anything we are aware of. It appears the social media team has mixed him up with original Machinedramon English voice actor Dave Guerrie (also known as 'Chewie' Guerrie), who is credited in a few places as "David Vincent Patrick Guerrie". As far we are aware these aren't the same people.

Update- David Vincent has confirmed he has not played Machinedramon. Appears it's a social media manager being a bit overzealous in their searches for marketing, and not confirming details. Which is likely the same for Wezen being listed.


At the moment it looks like a social media team putting together assets on their own to try and advertise it as having a unique Digimon angle, and making a few mistakes.


We'll see if anything comes of it.

If they are dubbing Ghost Game, Brian Drummond is an interesting choice because he's a Canadian voice actor. Which makes a certain amount of sense as Toei has been using Ocean for their dubs more recently like with World Trigger and Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai.

I'm going to assume it's a mistake as on top of your other points it would be odd for a GG dub to be announced this way, especially when 2020's dub still isn't out. If on the off chance it was true though, then I would be on board with him playing WezenGammamon as he definitely has the vocal range to pull him (and I presume the other Gammamon evolutions) off.

Well if it's somehow not a mistake then I'd hope a dub would be very soon. Your research seems legit though

An update.

David Vincent has confirmed he indeed has never played Machinedramon.

If Digimon Ghost Game dub is happening, i wonder how they will censor the "darkest" parts of the anime.
Digimon Ghost Game dub will be like One Piece dub, correct me if i'm wrong.

If one can assume that Studiopolis is working on the Adventure 2020 dub and if Drummond is confirmed to be the voice actor for Wezan (but can't specify due to contract reasons) then that would be interesting that they would let another dubbing studio work on Ghost Game.

So it's just a fan mockup people mistook for real? Because that's what this looks like.

Someone really needs to double check on what they're doing. It's like someone's just messing around in their job.

I would have thought that Brian Drummond would have made a good Gulus Gammamon.

I'm going to secretly hope that he mentioned to the con that he  did voice that role, but then quickly back-pedaled due to NDA issues.

I'm hoping there will be a GG dub, and especially that there will be physical copies to buy!

Studiopolis doesn't own Digimon as a whole and it's all up to whoever Toei chooses to contract out the dub to. Of course we now know this was all a con goof up, but theoretically Toei could choose any dubbing studio they wanted to for Ghost Game. I don't have it on me but I do believe Zeno confirmed at some point the Adventure 2020 dub was done by Studidpolis which makes sense since he's mostly an LA voice actor. But their dubs of World Trigger and Dragon Quest were both by Ocean and Brian was actually in the Dragon Quest dub.

The voice of Vegeta in anything Digimon related would have been awesome. I haven’t watched Ghost Game so no idea about how WezenGammamon would sound, but he’d make a badass Machinedramon or any Digimon for that matter.
