Call of Duty Enlists Players to Rise on Every
Front for All-New World War II Experience;
New Warzone Pacific Map Launches December 2nd
Kicking-Off Incredible Season of Content
Starting today the highly-anticipated Call of Duty:
Vanguard is available worldwide. Vanguard delivers an
unparalleled depth of Call of Duty® content across a gripping
single-player story, 20 multiplayer maps on day one, an all-new
Zombies experience that further explores existing story canon.
Vanguard also features the deepest integration yet with
Warzone™, which will launch the new Warzone Pacific, including the
new map “Caldera” on December 2nd.
“Vanguard launch is just the beginning. This new release
will deliver unprecedented breadth and depth of amazing content
experiences for Call of Duty players,” said Johanna Faries, General
Manager, Call of Duty, Activision. “Together with next month’s
release of the all-new Warzone Pacific map, Call of Duty is set to
create the most integrated and deepest live ops calendar we’ve ever
had. Today is an exciting next chapter for our ever-evolving
franchise.”
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 who 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 TM
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.
Vanguard is available worldwide starting today on
PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox® Series X|S, Xbox One®, and PC
in a fully optimized experience for Battle.net, Blizzard
Entertainment’s online gaming service.
