Call Of Duty: Vanguard is the upcoming AAA shooter title from Activision’s long-running and most prestigious shooter franchise. The game was announced not long ago during a live event in Warzone. COD Vanguard coming on November 5th and will be available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and on Battle.net for PC.
If you're a fan of the Call of Duty franchise, this new WW2-themed shooter is surely something to look out for. Here are 5 facts you must know about Call Of Duty: Vanguard.
#1. COD Vanguard will be a remake of Call Of Duty: WW2
When Activision announced the theme for Call Of Duty: Vanguard, we were in fact quite surprised. It's because there's already a WW2-themed installment in the franchise. But apparently, Vanguard will stand out from its predecessor.
Sledgehammer Games, the studio behind Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare and Call Of Duty: WW2, also develop Call Of Duty: Vanguard. The game is set in the Second Great War but extends over just the Western Front.
Instead, Vanguard allows players to join four theaters of war: the Western, Eastern European, South Pacific, and North Africa fronts.
The game campaign features four protagonists from across the globe:
- Private Lucas Riggs, 20th Battalion, Australian 9th Infantry Division, British Eighth Army.
- Sergeant Arthur Kingsley of the 9th Parachute Battalion, British Army.
- Lieutenant Wade Jackson, Scouting Squadron Six, United States Navy.
- Lieutenant Polina Petrova of the 138th Rifle Division, Red Army.
As of now, we don't know how Activision will deploy the storyline for Vanguard. Will the main four protagonists have a connection like with Rockstar Games' GTA V, or will they live on separate lives. Guess we have to wait and see what the game has in store for us.
#2. Call Of Duty: Vanguard will support multiplayer
Activision will launch 20 multiplayer maps for Vanguard as soon as the game goes online. However, there won't be any big team modes like Ground War from Modern Warfare or Fireteam from Black Ops Cold War, at least for now.
We're having 16 maps for traditional 6v6 multiplayer, ready right at launch. The remaining four will be featured in a new mode called Champion Hill. This mode is a mix of Modern Warfare's 2v2 Gunfight and Black Ops Cold War's Gunfight Tournament.
Also, we have confirmation that Gunsmith is going to be a thing in Vanguard.
#3. COD WW2 Vanguard will integrate with Warzone
If you don't know, Warzone is the free-to-play Call of Duty Battle Royale title in the Call of Duty franchise. It's a stand-alone installment and doesn't require you to purchase any other COD games to play. However, it's integrated with several games in the franchise, like Black Ops Cold War, and now Vanguard.
Alongside multiplayer and the campaign, Vanguard will be fully integrated into Warzone. There will be a brand new Warzone map to fit the World War 2 theme. This is surely a welcome change to Warzone's gameplay. The game is still fun, but Activision seems to be slacking a bit with new content for it.

#4. Vanguard’s Zombies Mode is coming
As per various reports, Black Ops Cold War studio Treyarch has been developing Vanguard’s Zombies mode. It will link directly to the story of the Black Ops universe and the Dark Aether storyline. The preview of the Zombies mode is said to be coming later this Halloween. Let's wait and see how this game mode will translate!
#5. COD Vanguard release date
Activision confirmed that Call of Duty: Vanguard is coming on November 5th. The game will launch on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and on Battle.net for PC.
If you’re still not convinced, the game has just finished its free Alpha for PS4 and PS5 players. The Alpha focused on Champion Hill to give players a taste of what this new game mode has to offer.
All in all, Call of Duty: Vanguard has what it takes to become the AAA blockbuster shooting game of 2021. It has everything we want in a classic franchise. And from the Alpha test, the game looks amazing! Let's hope Activision can keep up with the hype about COD Vanguard. Stay tuned and visit GuruGamer.com for the latest update of the title.
