Call of Duty® is making a dramatic return to the greatest
military conflict in history and where the franchise first began,
World War II. On Friday, November 3, Call of Duty®: WWII
players will enlist in an unforgettable journey of brotherhood
across the European theater in a mission vital to the success of
the Allied powers. The all-new Call of Duty delivers gritty
realism, authenticity and cinematic intensity on an epic scale. In
addition to the game’s boots-on-the-ground combat, Multiplayer
offers a host of new modes, systems and gameplay innovations across
iconic map locations; while an all-new Nazi Zombies Cooperative
mode unleashes a startling, new storyline and adrenaline filled
experience. Published by Activision and developed by Sledgehammer
Games, Call of Duty: WWII defines the World War II game
experience for a new generation of consoles.
“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 has been a journey of inspiration and
passion for everyone at Sledgehammer Games. The team is dedicated
to delivering on the intense nature of war that focuses on the
heroism and sacrifice of soldiers in WWII. Our rich narrative
driven, action-packed campaign, and engaging and innovative
multiplayer experience immerse players into the boots of a soldier
fighting for freedom in a world on the brink of tyranny. And, our
co-operative mode delivers a unique storyline that’s an all-new
take on Nazi Zombies that we think fans are going to love,” said
Michael Condrey, Studio Head and Co-Founder of Sledgehammer
Games.
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.”
Call of Duty: WWII takes the franchise back to its roots
in a bold cinematic experience that captures the unforgettable
heroism of the soldiers who fought together in a war that changed
the world forever. Activision’s gripping new title 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.
Call of Duty: WWII 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. Look for more information about
Multiplayer at E3 and the Nazi Zombies cooperative experience at a
