Call Of Duty WWII Announced

After a few leaks gave away the name and some marketing announced the release date, Activision has finally released concrete details for Call of Duty WWII, the next entry in the long running shooter series. This time, the series is stepping back into the trenches of WW2, where it first began back in 2003.



The game is set to release on November 3rd for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, with players stepping into the boots of soldiers as they fight across the European front, fighting for the allies, through the mud, blood and horrors of war.

"More than two and a-half years ago we made the decision to return this franchise to its roots, and Call of Duty: WWII does so in epic fashion," said Eric Hirshberg, Activision CEO. "The team at Sledgehammer Games is delivering an authentic, gritty, cinematic experience that honors both the epic scale, and the human struggle of the greatest war the world has ever known. This game will let longtime fans experience World War II like never before, and will introduce this historic conflict to a whole new generation of gamers in the process."

Call of Duty: WWII is taking the franchise back to its roots with a cinematic experience that is set to capture the unforgettable heroism of the soldiers who fought together in a war that changed the world forever. The game hopes to deliver what is an honest portrayal of World War II from the perspective of the famed 1st Infantry Division, with an ensemble cast of global and diverse characters. Through stunning visuals and intense audio, players storm the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, march across France to liberate Paris and ultimately push forward into Germany in some of the most monumental battles of all-time.

Added Glen Schofield, Studio Head and Co-Founder of Sledgehammer Games, "The story we're telling is unlike anything that we've tackled before. It's such an amazing journey of common everyday people who became heroes. We want to respect this great generation of soldiers, tell a realistic story set in a true inflection point in human history, and deliver the best experience of our careers."

Of course, it would not be a Call of Duty game without Multiplayer and the team at Sledgehammer hope that in Call of Duty: WWII, the multiplayer combat immerses players in grounded, fast-paced action featuring an arsenal of authentic weapons and equipment, set in some of the most iconic locations in World War II's European theater. 

Multiplayer also delivers a new approach to character and create-a-class through Divisions, War, an all-new narrative multiplayer mode of play, and Headquarters, a first of its kind for the Call of Duty social community, designed for players to interact and socialize with friends. The definitive World War II next generation experience also introduces Nazi Zombies, an all-new cooperative mode featuring a unique standalone storyline set during World War II that's full of unexpected, adrenaline-pumping action.

Finally, the game is releasing in a range of packages, the standard version, coming with a copy of the game, the Pro-Edition, which will get you the game, Season Pass and a Steelbook and finally, for those that prefer digital, the Digital Deluxe Edition, which comes with the game and Season Pass.

Those the pre-order the game, will gain access to the Private Beta, though no start date for that has been announced. So with the first details announced, we will learn more about the game at E3, which is only a few weeks away.
