A ton of details about Call of Duty: Vanguard, including its setting, have leaked prior to its official reveal. We know that Call of Duty: Vanguard will take players back to World War II. Small snippets of trailers sent to content creators have hinted toward the game’s story taking place along the war’s eastern front.
Call of Duty: Warzone will also update with Vanguard‘s eventual launch, reportedly with a new, massive map based on the Pacific theater of the war.
Call of Duty: Vanguard‘s reveal comes amid a reckoning at its publisher, Activision Blizzard. A recently filed lawsuit against the company accuses it of fostering a “frat boy” culture in which sexual discrimination, harassment, and pay disparity are rampant. In the weeks following the lawsuit’s filing, Blizzard president J. Allen Brack has stepped down and workers at studios owned by the publisher have walked out.
