Call of Duty: Vanguard is now available for PC, Xbox, and PlayStation,
putting out the call for players to reenlist in the military shooter series in a
return to a World War II setting. The Windows edition is for sale on the
Battle.net Shop as either a Standard Edition or an Ultimate Edition with
additional skins and blueprints, a battle pass bundle, and an XP booster. The
game kicks off with a solo campaign, a new zombies experience, and 20
multiplayer maps with crossplay support between PC and consoles. A new season of
Warzone will kick off on December 2nd, bringing the free-to-play battle royale
to the war in the Pacific. Here's the previously released
Launch Trailer featuring Jack White along with more details:
In
Vanguard, players will experience the origins of Special Forces fighting across
four major theaters of World War II like never seen before.
With development led by Sledgehammer Games, Vanguard enlists players in an
engaging blockbuster campaign as ordinary soldiers from diverse backgrounds rise
on all fronts to do the extraordinary and turn the tides of war. Multiplayer
features 20 maps, 12 Operators and over three dozen Weapons in the revamped
Gunsmith all starting day one. Vanguard multiplayer delivers new ways to play
with the Combat Pacing system and the fast and frenetic multi-arena survival
Champion Hill mode. Vanguard also brings a franchise-first Zombies crossover
developed by Treyarch, expanding upon the Dark Aether storyline that players
were introduced to in Call of Duty®: Black Ops Cold War.
Season One will bring a brand-new map, Caldera, to the free-to-play Call of
Duty: Warzone, along with a massive amount of new gameplay experiences—for free.
Operator, Weapon, and Battle Pass progression will also be synchronized across
Vanguard, Black Ops Cold War and Modern Warfare® when Season One begins on
December 2.
Releasing alongside Vanguard, the RICOCHET Anti-Cheat™ initiative is a
multifaceted approach to combat cheating, featuring new server-side tools that
monitor analytics to identify cheating, enhanced investigation processes to
stamp out cheaters, updates to strengthen account security, and more. RICOCHET
Anti-Cheat’s back-end anti-cheat security features will also come later this
year with the launch of Call of Duty: Warzone Pacific map on PC.
Vanguard features unified progression and supports cross-play across
next-generation and current-generation systems. Players can look forward to a
new level of social features bringing friends to play together with clan
features and more. Vanguard’s deep integration with Warzone includes the largest
amount of new release content ever coming to Warzone, including a new map,
operators, weapons, and planes as well as shared progression, and exclusive
access to the Warzone Pacific beginning December 2nd for Vanguard
owners.
