![]() ![]() It was exciting to see it revealed inside Call of Duty: Warzone, the ever-present battle royale mode. And I am a big history buff and so I’m happy to see the franchise return to a period that is so much more grounded in history. And I’m glad to see it zero in on lesser-known parts of the historical record that seem more important by today’s environment, as special forces has become so much more visible now. Sledgehammer’s developers are taking us back to World War II with a single-player campaign that focuses on the birth of the special forces, the soldiers in the vanguard who led the way into places like Normandy and defended Stalingrad from German assault. The story focuses on four soldiers of diverse origins who were selected to be among the first special soldiers. While fictional, each character and backstory has a basis in history, with guidance from Sledgehammer historian and World War II expert Marty Morgan. These characters will provide what Sledgehammer hopes is a unique window on the vast battlefields of the global war, and they will also focus on parts of the war that many people aren’t already familiar with - including people like me, who have played every single Call of Duty and Battlefield game. This is the first time since Sledgehammer’s 2017 game, Call of Duty: WWII, that the franchise has returned to the Second World War. “As we talked to Marty Morgan, there was another aspect of the stories that he told that really caught our attention,” said Dave Swenson, the campaign creative director at Sledgehammer. And these ordinary people became extraordinary as a result of their fighting in World War Two.” The story of these individuals who participated in World War Two, and they were often ordinary, but there was something about the war that sort of pulled extraordinary out of them. Sledgehammer’s leaders and game creators showed off snippets of the game, from the single-player campaign to multiplayer combat. But more detailed reveals of things, like multiplayer gameplay, are coming up. There will also be new reveals related to the coordination of the game with Warzone (yes, it’s getting a new map) and a Zombies mode as well. Preludeīefore he described the game, Sledgehammer studio head Aaron Halon talked about the sex discrimination lawsuit. “The stories and the pain that have been shared are simply devastating. It’s our life’s work, and we love it,” he said. We’re here for each other, working side by side and looking out for one another in good time. On behalf of Sledgehammer Games, and all of the teams supporting Call of Duty: Vanguard, harassment of any kind goes against everything we stand for. ![]() But what I can say is that as a team, we are committed to making sure all team members feel safe welcome.” Everyone regardless of their title, their role, gender, orientation, and ethnicity, are treated with dignity, respect, and equality. ![]()
